Figure 8-1: Clock Distribution in MAC and SGMII PCS with GXB Configuration—Optimal Case
Figure shows the optimal clock distribution scheme you can achieve in configurations that contain the
10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC, SGMII PCS, and GX transceivers.

Note to Figure 8-1 :
1. The PMA layer in devices with GX transceivers uses ALTGX megafunctions.
In addition to the aforementioned optimization options, the TBI transmit and receive clocks can be used to
drive the MAC transmit and receive clocks, respectively.
