Data Interfaces
Table 5–8 describes the signals in the XGMII and GMII interfaces. The MAC drives the
TX XGMII and GMII signals to the 1G/10GbE PHY. The 1G/10GbE PHY drives to the
RX XGMII or GMII signals to the MAC.
rx_clkout_1g
Output
GMII RX clock for the 1G RX parallel data source interface. The frequency is
125 MHz.
rx_clkout_10g
Output
XGMII RX clock for the 10G RX parallel data source interface. The frequency is
257.8125 MHz.
rx_coreclkin_1g
Input
Optional clock to drive the read side of the RX phase compensation FIFO in the
Standard PCS. The frequency is 125 MHz.
tx_coreclkin_1g
Input
Optional clock to drive the write side of the TX phase compensation FIFO in the
Standard PCS. The frequency is 125 MHz.
pll_ref_clk_1g
Input
TX PLL reference clock for the PMA block for the 1G mode. Its frequency is
125 or 62.5 MHz.
pll_ref_clk_10g
Input
TX PLL reference clock for the PMA block in 10G mode. Its frequency is
644.53125 or 322.265625 MHz.
pll_powerdown_1g
Input Resets the 1Gb TX PLLs.
pll_powerdown_10g
Input Resets the 10Gb TX PLLs.
tx_analogreset
Input Resets the analog TX portion of the transceiver PHY.
tx_digitalrest
Input Resets the digital TX portion of the transceiver PHY.
rx_analogreset
Input Resets the analog RX portion of the transceiver PHY.
rx_digitalreset
Input Resets the digital RX portion of the transceiver PHY.
usr_seq_reset
Input Not functional in 1G/10Gbe mode. Tie to 1’b0.

1G/10GbE GMII Data Interface
xgmii_tx_dc_<n>[71:0]
Input
XGMII data and control for 8 lanes. Each lane consists of 8 bits of data and 1
bit of control.
xgmii_tx_clk
Input
Clock for SDR XGMII TX interface to the MAC. It should connect to
xgmii_rx_clk
. The frequency is 156.25 MHz.
xgmii_rx_dc_n[71:0]
Output
RX XGMII data and control for 8 lanes. Each lane consists of 8 bits of data and
1 bit of control.
xgmii_rx_clk
Output Clock for SDR XGMII RX interface to the MAC.The frequency is 156.25 MHz.
1G/10GbE GMII Data Interface
gmii_tx_d[7:0]
Input
TX data for 1G mode. Synchronized to
tx_clkout_1g
clock. The TX PCS
8B/10B module encodes this data which is sent to link partner.
gmii_rx_d[7:0]
Output
RX data for 1G mode. Synchronized to
rx_clkout_1g
clock. The RX PCS
8B/10B decoders decodes this data and sends it to the MAC.
gmii_tx_en
Input
When asserted, indicates the start of a new frame. It should remains asserted
until the last byte of data on the frame is present on
gmii_tx_d
.
