Overview

The GiGE/Triple-speed Ethernet MAC offers an IEEE802.3-2015 compliant solution that meets the requirements for GiGE/tri-mode LAN in NIC (Network Interface Card) applications.

Features

AXI4-Streaming or Avalon-Streaming, FIFO based user side interface
Supports only 1000Mbps speed with GMII/RGMII PCS side interface
Supports 10/100/1000Mbps speed in SGMII mode with PCS/PMA IP Cores from Intel
Statistics counter block (for RMON and MIB)
MDIO cores for external PHY status/control

Device Utilization and Performance

See datasheet

Getting Started

A complete reference design using a simple L2 (MAC level) packet generator/checker is also included to facilitate quick integration of the Ethernet MAC in a user design.
