The following 40-100GbE MAC and PHY IP core signals are not available in MAC-only IP core
variations:
• Clock signals:
• clk_ref (relevant only for IP core variations with the Sync–E support option turned off)
• tx_clk_ref (relevant only for IP core variations with the Sync-E support option turned on)
• rx_clk_ref (relevant only for IP core variations with the Sync-E support option turned on)
• rx_recovered_clk (relevant only for IP core variations with the Sync-E support option turned on)
• PCS and PMA reset signals:
• pcs_tx_arst_ST
• pcs_rx_arst_ST
• pma_arst_ST
• Ethernet link signals tx_serial and rx_serial
• PHY output status signals tx_lanes_stable and lanes_deskewed. Note that input signals with these
names are available, and should be supplied by the user logic that implements the PHY layer.
• Signals to connect to the external transceiver reconfiguration controller (relevant for Arria V GZ and
Stratix V devices only).
• 40GBASE-KR4 microprocessor interface and reconfiguration interface signals.

Signal Name Direction Description
Transmit Side Signals
tx_mii_d[<w>*64-1:0]
Output
MAC to PHY connection
interface
tx_mii_c[<w>*8-1:0]
Output
tx_mii_valid
Output
tx_mii_ready
Input
tx_lanes_stable
Input
Receive Side Signals
rx_mii_d[<w>*64-1:0]
Input
PHY to MAC connection
interface
rx_mii_c[<w>*8-1:0]
Input
rx_mii_valid
Input
lanes_deskewed
Input Lane to lane deskew interface
Note: When simulating the full design the lanes_deskewed input comes from the output of the RX PCS,
indicating a fully locked status. To avoid confusion, when simulating the alt_e40_mac or
alt_e100_mac wrapper as the top level, drive the lanes_deskewed input and the tx_mii_ready
input to '1'.
