Appendix D: Differences between Soft IP Cores and the <strong>Tri</strong>-<strong>Mode</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>MAC</strong><br />

The soft PCS/PMA core:<br />

Supports the ten bit interface (TBI).<br />

Supports dynamic switching between 1000BASE-X PCS/PMA and SGMII.<br />

Outputs a status vector with bits that indicate:<br />

- The status of the link.<br />

- The status of the link synchronization state machine.<br />

- When the core is receiving /C/ ordered sets.<br />

- When the core is receiving /I/ ordered sets.<br />

- When the core is receiving invalid data.<br />

Soft PCS/PMA and <strong>Tri</strong>-<strong>Mode</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>MAC</strong> cores:<br />

Can be connected together to provide a single <strong>Ethernet</strong> interface.<br />

Can be configured by a vector when the management interface is not required.<br />

The vector signals equate to attributes in the hard <strong>Tri</strong>-<strong>Mode</strong> <strong>Ethernet</strong> <strong>MAC</strong>.<br />

Can be targeted to a wide variety of <strong>Xilinx</strong>® devices.<br />
