Does the FPGA equivalent need a very high speed clock to achieve the
serial data sampling at the receiver end, as the transimitter and
receiver are running off 2 different clock sources which are not
necessarily in phase? For example to achieve a 20Mbit link would you not
have to have the FPGA with a clock of at least 60MHz to get reliable
reception?
