6.9.1. XGMII TX Signals

The signals below are present in the following operating modes: 10G, 1G/10G, 1G/2.5G/10G, 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII), 10M/100M/1G/10G, and 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/10G.

Table 47.  XGMII Transmit Signals
Signal Condition Direction Width Description
xgmii_tx_data[]

Use legacy Ethernet 10G MAC XGMII interface disabled.

Enable 10GBASE-R register mode disabled.

Out 32

4-lane data bus. Lane 0 starts from the least significant bit.

  • Lane 0: xgmii_tx_data[7:0]
  • Lane 1: xgmii_tx_data[15:8]
  • Lane 2: xgmii_tx_data[23:16]
  • Lane 3: xgmii_tx_data[31:24]

Use legacy Ethernet 10G MAC XGMII interface disabled.

Enable 10GBASE-R register mode enabled.

Out 64

8-lane SDR XGMII transmit data. This signal connects directly to the NativePHY IP core.

  • Lane 0: xgmii_tx_data[7:0]
  • Lane 1: xgmii_tx_data[15:8]
  • Lane 2: xgmii_tx_data[23:16]
  • Lane 3: xgmii_tx_data[31:24]
  • Lane 4: xgmii_tx_data[39:32]
  • Lane 5: xgmii_tx_data[47:40]
  • Lane 6: xgmii_tx_data[55:48]
  • Lane 7: xgmii_tx_data[63:56]
xgmii_tx_control[]

Use legacy Ethernet 10G MAC XGMII interface disabled.

Enable 10GBASE-R register mode disabled.

Out 4

Control bits for each lane in xgmii_tx_data[].

  • Lane 0: xgmii_tx_control[0]
  • Lane 1: xgmii_tx_control[1]
  • Lane 2: xgmii_tx_control[2]
  • Lane 3: xgmii_tx_control[3]

Use legacy Ethernet 10G MAC XGMII interface disabled.

Enable 10GBASE-R register mode enabled.

Out 8

8-lane SDR XGMII transmit control. This signal connects directly to the NativePHY IP core.

  • Lane 0: xgmii_tx_control[0]
  • Lane 1: xgmii_tx_control[1]
  • Lane 2: xgmii_tx_control[2]
  • Lane 3: xgmii_tx_control[3]
  • Lane 4: xgmii_tx_control[4]
  • Lane 5: xgmii_tx_control[5]
  • Lane 6: xgmii_tx_control[6]
  • Lane 7: xgmii_tx_control[7]
xgmii_tx_valid

Use legacy Ethernet 10G MAC XGMII interface disabled.

(Enable 10GBASE-R register mode enabled or Speed is set to 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII))

Out 1 When asserted, indicates that the data and control buses are valid.
xgmii_tx[] Use legacy Ethernet 10G MAC XGMII interface enabled. Out 72

link_fault_status_xgmii_tx_data[] In 2 This signal is present in the MAC TX only variation. Connect this signal to the corresponding RX client logic to handle the local and remote faults. The following values indicate the link fault status:
  • 0x0: No link fault
  • 0x1: Local fault
  • 0x2: Remote fault
