Enterprise Ethernet PCS IP

Overview

The Enterprise Ethernet PCS Controller IP (XLGPCS) provides an interface between a Media Access Controller (MAC) and Physical Medium Attachment Sublayer (PMA) through a Media Independent Interface (MII). The ASIL B Ready ISO 26262 certified Enterprise Ethernet PCS Controller IP is available with an automotive safety package.

The Enterprise Ethernet PCS Controller IP supports the following functions as per IEEE 802.3 and 25G consortium specifications (for 25G and 50G modes):

PCS sub layer functions

PMA sub layer functions

FEC functions

Link Training

Auto Negotiation

Host Interface via APB3

The IP supports the following link types through the PMA layer:

10GBASE-R

25GBASE-CR

25GBASE-CR-S
