50G Ethernet FPGA IP

Altera

The 50G Ethernet FPGA IP core implements the 25G & 50G Ethernet Specification, Draft 1.4 from the 25 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium and the IEEE 802.3by 25Gb Ethernet draft. The IP core includes an option to support unidirectional transport as defined in Clause 66 of the IEEE 802.3-2012 Ethernet Standard. The MAC client side interface for the 50 Gbps Ethernet IP core is a 128-bit Avalon streaming interface (Avalon-ST). It maps to two 25.78125 Gbps transceivers. The IP core provides standard media access control (MAC), physical coding sublayer (PCS), and PMA functions. The PHY comprises the PCS and PMA.

Key Features

  • Soft PCS logic that interfaces seamlessly to Agilex F-Tile FPGA 51.5625 gigabits per second (Gbps) serial transceiver
  • TX automatic frame padding to meet the 64-byte minimum Ethernet frame length
  • Optional RX strict SFD checking per IEEE specification
  • Unidirectional transport as defined in Clause 66 of the IEEE 802.3-2012 Ethernet Standard
  • Programmable serial PMA local loopback (TX to RX) at the serial transceiver for self-diagnostic testing; Avalon Memory-Mapped (Avalon-MM) management interface to access the IP core control and status registers
  • Avalon streaming (Avalon-ST) data path interface connects to client logic
  • Ready latency of 0 clock cycles for Avalon-ST TX interface
  • Support for jumbo packets
  • RX CRC checking and error reporting
  • RX malformed packet checking per IEEE specification
