User Guide
1. Introduction
The Altera
®
Transceiver PHY IP Core User Guide describes the following types of
transceiver PHYs:
■ Protocol-Specific Transceiver PHYs—These PHYs automatically configure settings
for the physical coding sublayer (PCS) to meet the requirements of a specific
protocol, leaving a small number of parameters in the physical media attachment
(PMA) module for you to configure. These transceiver PHYs include an Avalon
®
Memory-Mapped (Avalon-MM) interface to access control and status registers and
an Avalon Streaming (Avalon-ST) interface to connect to the MAC for data
transfer.
Figure 1–1 illustrates the top level modules that comprise the protocol-specific
transceiver PHY IP cores. In addition, Figure 1–1 shows the Altera Transceiver
Reconfiguration Controller IP Core that is instantiated separately.
For detailed information about the protocol-specific transceiver PHYs, refer to the
following chapters:
■ 10GBASE-R PHY IP Core
■ Backplane Ethernet 10GBASE-KR PHY IP Core
■ 1G/10 Gbps Ethernet PHY IP Core
■ XAUI PHY IP Core
■ Interlaken PHY IP Core
■ PHY IP Core for PCI Express (PIPE)
