SGMII PHY

Overview

The Innosilicon SGMII PHY is a highly programmable module that processes high-speed serial data to parallel data compatible with the IEEE802.3 1000BASEX specification.
This document describes the operation and performance of the PHY and describes how to program the PHY to support different standards and testing modes using Innosilicon’s PHY Programming Utility. The PHY module includes a top-level wrapper integrating both the Physical Media Attachment (PMA) layer, and the Physical Coding Sub-Block (PCS) layer.
