Overview

The Xilinx Ethernet Quad Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface PCS/PMA or QSGMII IP LogiCORE™ IP provides an Ethernet Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) with an aggregation of four 10/100/1000M ports to one five gigabit transceiver.  QSGMII interfaces are implemented using transceivers in Virtex®-7 or  Kintex™-7 devices.  On the front end, the LogiCORE IP can also interface seamlessly to four Ethernet MACs through a built-in Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII).  This IP is available through CORE Generator™ software at no charge to help you accelerate your time to market.  It is built upon our existing Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface PCS/PMA IP.

Designing with Virtex-5 Embedded Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs

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.

Designing FPGA Based Reliable Systems Using Virtex-5 System Monitor

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.
