Integrating with the 1-Gigabit Ethernet MAC Core
R
Features of this configuration include:
•
Direct internal connections are made between the GMII interfaces between the two
cores.
•
If both cores have been generated with the optional management interface, the MDIO
port can be connected up to that of the 1-Gigabit Ethernet MAC core, allowing the
MAC to access the embedded configuration and status registers of the Ethernet
1000BASE-X PCS/PMA or SGMII core.
•
Due to the embedded Receiver Elastic Buffer in the MGT, the entire GMII is
synchronous to a single clock domain. Therefore
userclk2
is used as the 125 MHz
reference clock for both cores, and the transmitter and receiver logic of the 1-Gigabit
Ethernet MAC core now operate in the same clock domain.

Figure 13-4
illustrates the connections and clock management logic required to interface
the Ethernet 1000BASE-X PCS/PMA or SGMII core (when used in 1000BASE-X mode) to
the 1-Gigabit Ethernet MAC core.
