Overview
The 10G Ethernet XGMAC IP is designed for 1/2.5/5/10G Ethernet applications, providing a comprehensive set of configurable features for an optimized implementation. It can be configured as MAC only, with a FIFO interface on the transmit and receive side or with an ARM® AMBA® AXI primary/secondary interface. The Management Data Input/Output (MDIO) access can be configured for the AMBA APB™ or AMBA AXI secondary interfaces.
The XGMAC IP provides a 10G Media-Independent Interface (XGMII) for communication with a 10G PHY. This also provides a MDIO interface for addressing IEEE 802.3 compliant MDIO devices.
The Ethernet XGMAC can be coupled with standards compliant, full-duplex inline MACsec Security Modules enabling designers to quickly integrate security in their system for a fast time-to-market and reduced risk.
The vendor provides a complete, silicon-proven 10G Ethernet solution consisting of Controllers, PHYs, MACsec Security Modules, and Verification IP. The IP is proven in a wide range of applications including automotive, networking, HPC and consumer.
