6.5. XGMII Signals

Table 19.  XGMII Signals
Signal Name Direction Width Description
XGMII Transmit—synchronous to xgmii_tx_coreclkin
xgmii_tx_control Input 4 TX control from the MAC for all speeds of the 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII) configuration.

The xgmii_tx_control bit corresponds to the xgmii_tx_data bits. For example, xgmii_tx_control[0] corresponds to xgmii_tx_data[7:0], xgmii_tx_control[1] corresponds to xgmii_tx_data[15:8], and so on.

xgmii_tx_data Input 32 TX data from the MAC for all speeds of the 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII) configuration.

The MAC sends the data in the following order: bits [7:0], bits [15:8], bit [23:16], and so on.

xgmii_tx_valid Output 1 Indicates valid data on xgmii_tx_control and xgmii_tx_data from the MAC.
Your logic/MAC must toggle the valid data as shown below:
Speed Toggle Rate
10M Asserted once every 1000 clock cycles
100M Asserted once every 100 clock cycles
1G Asserted once every 10 clock cycles
2.5G Asserted once every 4 clock cycles
5G Asserted once every 2 clock cycles
10G Asserted on every clock cycle
XGMII Receive—synchronous to xgmii_rx_coreclkin
xgmii_rx_control Output 4 RX control to the MAC for all speeds of the 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII) configuration.

The xgmii_rx_control bit corresponds to the xgmii_rx_data bits. For example, xgmii_rx_control[0] corresponds to xgmii_rx_data[7:0], xgmii_rx_control[1] corresponds to xgmii_rx_data[15:8], and so on.

xgmii_rx_data Output 32 RX data to the MAC for all speeds of the 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII) configuration.

The PHY sends the data in the following order: bits [7:0], bits [15:8], bit [23:16], and so on.

xgmii_rx_valid Output 1 Indicates valid data on xgmii_rx_control and xgmii_rx_data from the MAC.
The toggle rate from the PHY is shown in the table below.
Speed Toggle Rate
10M Asserted once every 1000 clock cycles
100M Asserted once every 100 clock cycles
1G Asserted once every 10 clock cycles
2.5G Asserted once every 4 clock cycles
5G Asserted once every 2 clock cycles
10G Asserted on every clock cycle
Note: The toggle rate may vary when the start of a packet is received or when rate match occurs inside the PHY. You should not expect the valid data pattern to be fixed.
