Integrating with the Tri-Mode 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 GTX transceiver, 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.
Integration of the 1-Gigabit Ethernet MAC to Provide SGMII (or Dynamic
Switching) Functionality
The connections required to provide SGMII functionality are identical to the connections
required for either
“Integration of the 1-Gigabit Ethernet MAC to 1000BASE-X PCS with
TBI”
or
“Integration of the 1-Gigabit Ethernet MAC Using a RocketIO Transceiver”
,
depending upon the chosen physical interface. The only difference is that the Ethernet
1000BASE-X PCS/PMA or SGMII core is generated with the SGMII or Dynamic switching
option.
Note:
When operating at 1 Gbps speed only, the Rx Elastic Buffer internal to the GTP transceiver
should be used to save device resources. Additionally, when operating at 1 Gbps only, the SGMII
Adaptation Module instantiated from within the block level of the example design is not required and
can optionally be removed.
Integrating with the Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC Core
The 1000BASE-X PCS/PMA or SGMII core can be integrated in a single device with the Tri-
Mode Ethernet MAC core to extend the system functionality to include the MAC sub-layer.
This core provides support for operation at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps.
A description of the latest available IP update containing the Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC core
and instructions can be found in the Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC product Web page:

Caution!
The Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC should always be configured for full-duplex operation
when used with an SGMII. This constraint is due to the increased latency introduced by the
SGMII logic. Without full-duplex operation, frame collisions could be undetected and the MAC
response will not be timely.
Integration of the Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC to Provide SGMII (or Dynamic
Switching) Functionality with TBI
Figure 13-7
illustrates the connections and clock management logic required to interface
the Ethernet 1000BASE-X PCS/PMA or SGMII core (when used in SGMII mode with the
TBI) to the Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC core. The following is a description of the functionality.
•
The SGMII Adaptation module, provided in the example design for the Ethernet
1000BASE-X PCS/PMA or SGMII core when generated to the SGMII standard, can be
used to interface the two cores.
