2.6.3. 1G/2.5G/5G/10G Multi-rate Ethernet PHY Intel FPGA IP Core
2.6.3.1. About the 1G/2.5G/5G/10G Multi-rate Ethernet PHY Intel FPGA IP Core
The 1G/2.5G/5G/10G Multi-rate Ethernet PHY Intel FPGA IP core implements the
Ethernet protocol as defined in Clause 36 of the IEEE 802.3 2005 Standard. The PHY
IP core consists of a physical coding sublayer (PCS) function and an embedded
physical media attachment (PMA). You can dynamically switch the PHY operating
speed.
Note: Intel FPGAs implement and support the required Media Access Control (MAC) and PHY
(PCS+PMA) IP to interface in a chip-to-chip or chip-to-module channel with external
MGBASE-T and NBASE-T PHY standard devices. You are required to use an external
PHY device to drive any copper media.
