100G MAC + PCS (100GBASE-R4/R10)
Block Diagram
Overview
The 100G Ethernet MAC and PCS is the industry leading solution for latency critical Ethernet applications such as data center Ethernet switches. The core is designed using advanced techniques leading to unmatched, ultra-low gate count utilization and amazing latency performances.The IP core supports full wire line speed with a 64-byte packet length. It also supports back-to-back or mixed length traffic, up to jumbo frame size, with no dropped packets.
Features
- Compliant with the IEEE 802.3-2012 High Speed Ethernet Standard
- Highly optimized implementation resulting in ultra-low latency and very low gate count
- Soft PCS logic (100GBASE-R4/R10) interfacing to four (4) serial transceivers at 25.78125Gbps or 10 transceivers at 10.3125Gbps
- Programmable Tx and Rx path VLAN detection
- Configurable statistics vector and collector on transmit and receive MAC/PCS data
