Cut Through Mode with Width Adaptation
This mode behaves like Cut Through mode, but is used when the AXI
data width does not match the PHY data width and the transmit FIFO is disabled. In this
case, a shallow FIFO is inserted to perform width adaptation between the AXI4-stream
interface and the PHY interface.
- Transmission still starts before the end of the frame is received, minimizing latency
- The shallow FIFO is only used for width conversion and does not buffer the entire frame.
Error handling follows the same rules as in Cut Through mode.
