    Proposal for an Initial draft of 10GBaseCX4 48. Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) and Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) sublayer, type 10GBASE-X 48.1 Overview This clause specifies the Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) and the Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) sub- layer that are common to a family of 10 Gb/s Physical Layer implementations, collectively known as 10GBASE-X. The 10GBASE-LX4 PMD described in Clause 53 and 10GBASE-CX4 described in Clause 54 are members of the 10GBASE-X PHY family. The term 10GBASE-X is used when referring to issues common to any of the variants within this family. The 10GBASE-X PCS and PMA sublayers are also utilized by the XGXS specified in Clause 47. 10GBASE-X PCS and PMA sublayers map the interface characteristics of the PMD sublayer (including MDI) to the services expected by the Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) and the logical and electrical characteris- tics of the 10 Gigabit Media Independent Interface (XGMII). Although the XGMII is optional, it is used as the basis for the definition of the 10GBASE-X PCS and PMA sublayers. 10GBASE-X assumes the use of the MDIO interface and register set for communication between PHY and Station Management (STA) entities, see Clause 45. 10GBASE-X has the following characteristics: a) The capability of supporting 10 Gb/s operation at the XGMII and RS b) Clock references embedded in all data and control code-groups c) Data paths consisting of independent serial links called lanes d) Independent four-lane-wide transmit and receive data paths e) Simple signal mapping to the XGMII

The Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) MAC protocol specifies shared medium (half duplex) operation, as well as full duplex operation. Speed specific Media Independent Interfaces (MIIs) allow use of selected Physical Layer devices (PHY) for operation over coaxial, twisted-pair or fiber optic cables. System considerations for multisegment shared access networks describe the use of Repeaters that are defined for operational speeds up to 1000 Mb/s. Local Area Network (LAN) operation is supported at all speeds. Other specified capabilities include various PHY types for access networks, PHYs suitable for metropolitan area network applications, and the provision of power over selected twisted-pair PHY types.

  • Latticesc/M Broadcom XAUI/Higig 10 Gbps Lattice Semiconductor Physical Layer Interoperability Over CX-4
    LatticeSC/M Broadcom® XAUI/HiGig™ 10 Gbps Physical Layer Interoperability Over CX-4 August 2007 Technical Note TN1155 Introduction This technical note describes a physical layer 10-Gigabit Ethernet and HiGig (10 Gbps) interoperability test between a LatticeSC/M device and the Broadcom BCM56800 network switch. The test was limited to the physical layer (up to XGMII) of the 10-Gigabit Ethernet protocol stack. Specifically, the document discusses the following topics: • Overview of LatticeSC™ and LatticeSCM™ devices and Broadcom BCM56800 network switch • Physical layer interoperability setup and results Two significant aspects of the interoperability test need to be highlighted: • The BCM56800 uses a CX-4 HiGig port, whereas the LatticeSC Communications Platform Evaluation Board provides an SMA connector. A CX-4 to SMA conversion board was used as a physical medium interface to cre- ate a physical link between both boards. The SMA side of the CX-4 to SMA conversion board has four differential TX/RX channels (10 Gbps bandwidth total). All four SMA channels (Quad 360) were connected to the LatticeSC side. • The physical layer interoperability ran at a 10-Gbps data rate (12.5-Gbps aggregated rate). XAUI Interoperability XAUI is a high-speed interconnect that offers reduced pin count and the ability to drive up to 20” of PCB trace on standard FR-4 material. In order to connect a 10-Gigabit Ethernet MAC to an off-chip PHY device, an XGMII inter- face is used. The XGMII is a low-speed parallel interface for short range (approximately 2”) interconnects. XAUI interoperability is based on the 10-Gigabit Ethernet standard (IEEE Standard 802.3ae-2002).

Higher-speed Ethernet is on the way, and problems are followed. This paper introduces the procedure of high-speed Ethernet's development and Backplane's emergence and discusses issues of every development stage like interoperability between devices. The paper also discusses how technologies like Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) and Auto-Negotiation solves those problems in practice and push the progress of high-speed Ethernet development.

  • AN 249: Implementing 10 Gigabit Ethernet XAUI in Stratix GX Devices
    Implementing 10 Gigabit Ethernet XAUI in Stratix GX Devices November 2002, ver. 1.0 Application Note 249 Introduction A main system bottleneck in high-speed communications equipment is data transmission from chip-to-chip and over backplanes. StratixTM GX devices help remedy the problem by supporting 3.125-gigabit per second (Gbps) channels and integrating advanced functionality into the device’s logic array. Versatile Stratix GX transceiver blocks support many emerging industry protocols that require high-speed differential I/O with clock data recovery (CDR) (e.g., 10 Gigabit Ethernet via the 10-Gbps attachment unit interface [XAUI]), SONET scrambled backplane, and custom implementations. The Stratix GX transceiver block is designed to support XAUI. In addition, the other 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface protocols (i.e., 10-gigabit, 16-bit interface [XSBI] and 10-gigabit medium independent interface [XGMII]) are also supported by Stratix GX devices. This application note discusses the following topics: ■ Fundamentals of 10 Gigabit Ethernet & XAUI ■ XAUI electrical specifications ■ Implementing XAUI in Stratix GX devices ■ Using Quartus II to implement XAUI ■ Applications of Stratix GX and XAUI Fundamentals Over the years, Ethernet speed has leapfrogged from the initial 10 megabits per second (Mbps), to 100 Mbps, and more recently to of 10 Gigabit 1 Gbps. Today, the Ethernet is the dominant network technology in local Ethernet & area networks (LANs), and with the advent of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet, it is now competitive in the metropolitan area network (MAN) and wide XAUI area network (WAN) markets. The purpose of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard is to extend IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) operating speed to 10 Gbps and include WAN applications.

  • (PMA) Sublayer and Baseband Medium, Type 10BASE-T1S
    147. Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS), Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) sublayer and baseband medium, type 10BASE-T1S 147.1 Overview This clause defines the type 10BASE-T1S Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) and type 10BASE-T1S Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) sublayer. Together, the PCS, and PMA sublayers comprise a 10BASE-T1S Physical Layer (PHY). Provided in this clause are fully functional and electrical specifications for the type 10BASE-T1S PCS and PMA. The 10BASE-T1S PHY is a full/half-duplex point-to-point and half-duplex multidrop PHY specification, capable of operating at 10 Mb/s. The 10BASET1S PHY is intended to be operated over a single twisted-pair copper cable, defined in 147.7. The cabling supporting the operation of the 10BASE-T1S PHY is defined in terms of performance requirements between the attachment points (Medium Dependent Interface (MDI)), allowing implementers to provide their own cabling to operate the 10BASE-T1S PHY as long as the normative requirements included in this Clause are met. This clause also specifies an optional Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) capability. A 10BASE-T1S that supports this capability may enter a Low Power Idle (LPI) mode of operation during periods of low link utilization as described in Clause 78. An optional support for PHY Level Collision Avoidance (PLCA) functions, described in Clause 148, is also specified in this clause. PLCA provides improved performance in terms of effective throughput and maximum transmission latency when operating in half-duplex mode over a multi-drop mixing segment network. 147.1.1 Relationship of 10BASE-T1S to other standards The relationship between the 10BASE-T1L PHY, the ISO Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model, and the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Model are shown in Figure 147–1.

You can use the Quartus® II software to parameterize and implement this IP core in your design. The 10-Gbps Ethernet IP core is highly configurable. It includes an Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) with an Avalon® Streaming (Avalon-ST) interface on the client side, and a XAUI or a standard XGMII interface on the network side. The XAUI interface is implemented as hard IP in an Altera FPGA transceiver or as soft logic, which results in a soft 10GBASE-X XAUI PCS. Alternatively, you can choose to implement a 10-Gbps Ethernet IP core that includes only the MAC or the soft XAUI PCS.
