6.7.2. 10/100/1000 Ethernet PHY
The Arria 10 GX FPGA development board supports 10/100/1000 base-T Ethernet
using an external Marvell 88E1111 PHY and Altera Triple-Speed Ethernet MegaCore
MAC function. The PHY-to-MAC interface employs SGMII using the Arria 10 GX FPGA
LVDS pins in Soft-CDR mode at 1.25 Gbps transmit and receive. In 10-Mb or 100-Mb
mode, the SGMII interface still runs at 1.25 GHz but the packet data is repeated 10 or
100 times. The MAC function must be provided in the FPGA for typical networking
applications.
The Marvell 88E1111 PHY uses 2.5-V and 1.0-V power rails and requires a 25 MHz
reference clock driven from a dedicated oscillator. The PHY interfaces to a HALO
HFJ11-1G02E model RJ45 with internal magnetics that can be used for driving copper
lines with Ethernet traffic.
