Data Plane Components
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet PCS/PMA IP (10GBASE-KR) and 10-Gigabit Ethernet MAC IP (10G
MAC) cores constitute a 10 Gb/s Ethernet channel. There are two channels in the
10GBASE-KR TRD; channel 0 and channel 1. The data source for each channel is a Traffic
Generator implemented in the FPGA that drives the 10G Ethernet MAC.
10-Gigabit Ethernet PCS/PMA IP Core
The 10-Gigabit Ethernet PCS/PMA (10GBASE-KR) IP core provides an XGMII interface to
connect to a 10-Gigabit Ethernet MAC IP core and implements a 10.3125 Gb/s serial
single-channel PHY (GTH transceiver) brought out to TXN/TXP and RXN/RXP I/O pins that
are connected to differential SMA connector pairs on the board. SMA cables connect these
signals to the backplane.
The 10GBASE-KR IP core is configured to support auto negotiation (AN) and forward error
correction (FEC). The MDIO interface is disabled and configuration and status vectors are
used to manage the core.
A license can be obtained at the 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCS/PMA with FEC/Auto-Negotiation
(10GBASE-KR) website
LogiCORE IP Product Guide (PG068)
Relevant bits of the configuration and status vectors are brought out to Virtual
Input/Output (VIO) IP cores to configure and monitor the IP. The training port of the
10-Gigabit Ethernet PCS/PMA is also connected to a VIO IP core to access the transceiver's
DRP address map.
More VIO IP core information is available at the Virtual Input/Output (VIO) website
and in the Virtual Input/Output LogiCORE IP Product Guide (PG159)
the DRP address map is available in UltraScale Architecture GTH Transceivers User Guide
