Physical Interface<br />

Chapter 6<br />

This chapter describes the physical interface options provided by the <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>MAC</strong>. This<br />

chapter contains the following sections:<br />

“Introduction to the Physical Interfaces”<br />

“Media Independent Interface (MII)”<br />

“Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII)”<br />

“Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII)”<br />

“1000BASE-X PCS/PMA”<br />

“Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (SGMII)”<br />

For each physical interface, there can be more than one possible clocking scheme. The<br />

following sections describe the different optimized clocking schemes for the individual<br />

<strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>MAC</strong> configurations.<br />

<strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>MAC</strong> wrappers and example designs are provided for each of the different<br />

physical interfaces via the CORE Generator tool. The generated designs exactly match<br />

the descriptions in this chapter and are available in both VHDL and Verilog. By using the<br />

CORE Generator tool, the time required to instantiate the <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>MAC</strong> into a usable<br />

design is greatly reduced. See “Accessing the <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>MAC</strong> from the CORE Generator<br />

Tool,” page 25.<br />
