A-XGMAC provides a 10-Gbps Ethernet Media Access
Controller (MAC) for incorporation in a customer's own ASIC or FPGA-based design. The A-XGMAC module performs the packet transmission and reception protocol as described in IEEE 802.3ae. This includes having a MAC control sublayer as defined in 802.3x. The optional SONET OC-192 data rate control in Clause 46 is also implemented.
The A-XGMAC IP core consists of two different versions of the 10-Gig MAC.
The smaller asymmetric (32-bit Transmit data and 64-bit Receive data) data path version which has been optimized for ASIC implementations and the larger symmetric (64-bit Transmit and Receive data paths) data path version which can be implemented in FPGA-based devices.
