Figure 1-2 illustrates a typical application for a single <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>MAC</strong>. The PHY side of the<br />

core is connected to an off-the-shelf <strong>Ethernet</strong> PHY device, which performs the BASE-T<br />

standard at 1 Gb/s, 100 Mb/s, and 10 Mb/s speeds. The PHY device can be connected<br />

using any of the following supported interfaces: GMII/MII, RGMII, or SGMII.<br />

A soft core is provided as part of the <strong>Xilinx</strong> Platform Studio (XPS), <strong>Embedded</strong><br />

Development Kit (EDK) IP portfolio to connect the client interface of the <strong>Embedded</strong><br />

<strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>MAC</strong> to the DMA port of a processor. DS537, XPSLL TE<strong>MAC</strong> Data Sheet, describes<br />

the XPS_LL_TE<strong>MAC</strong>, which can be instantiated for an intended processor application.<br />
