Overview
For UltraScale and UltraScale+ device support, refer to the 10G/25G Ethernet Subsystem
Designed to the IEEE 802.3-2012 specification
Xilinx provides a parameterizable LogiCORE™ IP solution for the 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) Ethernet Media Access Controller function used to interface to Physical Layer devices in a 10Gbps Ethernet (10GE) system. The core is designed to work with the latest Kintex® UltraScale™, Virtex® UltraScale, 7 Series, Virtex-6, Virtex-5 and Virtex-4 and Virtex-II Pro and Spartan®-6 platform FPGAs and integrate seamlessly into the Xilinx design flow.
The 10GEMAC core is designed to the IEEE 802.3-2012 specification and supports the high-bandwidth demands of network Internet Protocol (IP) traffic on LAN, MAN and WAN networks.
The Xilinx 10GEMAC core is another of the SystemIO solutions which provide high-performance interconnect technologies for communications equipment and flexibility in implementing emerging interface standards. The MAC core performs the Link function of the 10Gb Ethernet standard. The 10 Gigabit Media Independent Interface (XGMII) version of this core is intended to interface to either an off-chip PHY device or XAUI, DXAUI, RXAUI, 10GBASE-R/KR LogiCORE using the XGMII Interface.

In this article, we’ll review the feature set of Ethernet MAC blocks in Virtex-5 devices. We’ll also describe the differences between Virtex-5 and Virtex-4 FX Ethernet MACs, illustrate some potential applications, and describe how to use standard Xilinx tools to integrate an Ethernet MAC into your design.
The fast track development and 24x7 operations have put tremendous pressure on the servers, networking systems and communication equipments. It has become necessary that these systems should operate reliably irrespective of the change in external operating environment like the temperature, humidity, and power fluctuations or, on chip conditions like on-chip temperature, internal voltage levels etc. Measuring the reliability of these physical systems is must for every operational unit.
Flexible FPGA fabric, embedded multi-gigabit transceivers, and off-the-shelf IP enable robust, high performance, and high-integration serial backplane interface solutions
Building on its High-Speed Ethernet controller IP family, Cadence provides ESUN-ready controller IP for next-generation AI scale-up networking.
This blog post explores how the team verified a 10BASE-T1S automotive ethernet subsystem using a Cadence tools-based multi-platform verification, which unifies simulation, emulation, and formal verification techniques.
Learn how ESUN enhances Ethernet for lossless, predictable AI scale-up networking—cutting overhead, reducing tail latency, and improving efficiency.
