10GBASE-R PHY Intel® FPGA IP

Overview

The 10GBASE-R PHY Intel® FPGA Intellectual Property (IP) core allows connectivity directly with any XFP or SFP+ optical module or with any external device with XFI and SFI interfaces.

The PHY IP core can be used with either Intel® FPGA IP for 10G Ethernet MAC or with a customer-developed Ethernet MAC via a standard XGMII interface running at 156.25 Mbps.This PHY IP core is made available as part of the transceiver functionality of the Intel® FPGAs.

Key Features

  • PHY consisting of 10GBASE-R physical coding sublayer (PCS), 10.3125-Gbps physical medium attachment (PMA), and PHY management functions.
  • Direct interface with 10GbE MAC for a complete single-chip solution.
  • PHY integrated into hard silicon in Intel® Arria® 10, Stratix® V, and Arria® V GZ FPGAs with 10.3125 Gbps serial transceivers. Soft 10GBASE-R PCS is also available in Stratix® IV GT and Arria® V (GT and ST) FPGAs.
  • Direct 10.3125 Gbps serial connection for chip-to-chip, chip-to-optical module, chip-to-PHY device, and backplane applications.
  • Dynamic partial reconfigurable I/O (DPRIO) support in serial transceivers to adapt to various 10GBASE-R channel characteristics and devices in systems during operation.
  • Implementing the Ethernet standard 10GBASE-R PHY functions: 64b/66b encoding or decoding, scrambling/descrambling, receiver rate matching for clock frequency compensation, 66b/16b gear-boxing, and data serialization or deserialization to and from 10.3125 Gbps line.
  • Receiver-link fault status detection.
  • Local serial loop-back from transmitter to receiver at serial transceiver for testing.
  • IEEE 1588 v2 option for high precision and accuracy time stamping.
  • High-performance internal system interfaces
    • Intel® FPGA Avalon® Streaming (Avalon-ST) single data rate (SDR) XGMII, 72 bits at 156.25 Mbps for data transfer
    • Intel® FPGA Avalon® Memory-Mapped (Avalon-MM) 32 bits for slave management
  • IEEE 802.3 10GbE standard compliant, clauses 46, 49, and 51.
  • Passed University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab (UNH-IOL) 10 Gbps Ethernet MAC and PCS validation tests.
