Chapter 3: Core Architecture<br />
Flow Control Interface<br />
The flow control interface is used to initiate the transmission of flow control frames from<br />
the core. The ports associated with this interface are shown in Table 3-3.<br />
Table 3-3: Flow Control Interface Ports<br />
Name Direction Description<br />
pause_req Input Request that a flow control frame is emitted from<br />
the <strong>MAC</strong> core.<br />
pause_val[15:0] Input Pause value field for flow control frame to be sent<br />
when pause_req asserted.<br />
32-bit XGMII PHY Interface or 64-bit SDR PHY Interface<br />
This interface is used to connect to the physical layer, whether this is a separate device or<br />
implemented in the FPGA beside the <strong>MAC</strong> core. Table 3-4 shows the ports associated with<br />
this interface. The PHY interface can be a 32-bit DDR XGMII interface a or 64-bit SDR<br />
interface, depending on the customization of the core. However, the netlist ports are<br />
always the same width and the translation between 32-bit and 64-bit is performed in the<br />
HDL wrapper, if required.<br />

xgmii_txd[63:0] Output Transmit data to PHY<br />
xgmii_txc[7:0] Output Transmit control to PHY<br />
xgmii_rxd[63:0] Input Received data from PHY<br />
xgmii_rxc[7:0] Input Received control from PHY<br />
