2.11.9. PMA Direct Interface

The E-Tile Hard IP for Ethernet Intel FPGA IP PMA Direct TX and RX Interfaces are available when you turn on Include alternate ports for 10G/25G channels in 100GE or 1 to 4 10GE/25GE with optional RS-FEC and 1588 PTP variation.

These signals are never connected to the Ethernet hard logic. They are available when you need to switch at run time to PMA modes.

Description

i_sl_tx_pma[ch-1:0] 80

PMA Direct TX datapath for corresponding transceiver.

For all Ethernet cores, this signal does nothing until core is reconfigured at run-time to enter PMA Direct mode.

o_sl_rx_pma[ch-1:0]

80

PMA Direct RX datapath for corresponding transceiver.

For all Ethernet cores, this signal does nothing until core is reconfigured at run-time to enter PMA Direct mode.
