Chapter 1. Introduction; Quick Facts; Features - Lattice Semiconductor 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP User Manual

This document provides technical information about the Lattice 10 Gigabit Plus (10 Gb+) Ethernet Media Access
Controller (MAC) Intellectual Property (IP) core. The 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core comes with the following docu-
mentation and files:
• Protected netlist/database
• Behavioral RTL simulation model
• Source files for instantiating and evaluating the core

Features

• Compliant to IEEE 802.3-2005 standard, successfully passed University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab-
oratory (UNH-IOL) 10GbE MAC hardware tests
• Supports standard 10Gbps Ethernet link layer data rate
• Supports rates up to 12Gbps by over-clocking
• 64-bit wide internal data path operating at 156.25MHz to 187.5MHz (187.5Mhz supported only on 
LatticeSC/SCM)
• XGMII interface to the PHY layer (using IODDR external to the core)
• XAUI interface to the PHY layer (using PCS/SERDES external to the core)
• Simple FIFO interface with user's application
• Optional Multicast address filtering
1. Successfully passed all UNH-IOL Clause 4 (MAC), Clause 31 (Flow Control) and Clause 46 (Reconciliation Sublayer) testing.
