Stratix 10 FPGA H-Tile production devices include a configurable, hardened protocol stack for Ethernet that is compatible with the IEEE 802.3 High Speed Ethernet Standard. The Stratix 10 H-Tile Ethernet Hard IP core is available with a 100GBASE-R4 Ethernet channel. For the Ethernet data rate, you can choose a media access control (MAC) + physical coding sublayer (PCS) variation or a PCS-only variation. The 100GBASE-R4 Ethernet channel maps to four 25.78125 Gbps links. The FPGA serial transceivers are compliant with the IEEE 802.3-2015 High Speed Ethernet Standard CAUI-4 specification. The IP core configures the transceivers to implement the relevant specification for your IP core variation. You can connect the transceiver interfaces directly to an external physical medium dependent (PMD) optical module or to another device.
