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.
