19.6.2.2 GbE Receive Data\Control Topology
The receive signals included in the GbE receive Data and Control topology (Figure 141)
are:
โGBEn_RXCTL
โ GBEn_RXDATA[3:0]
All the receive path Data and Control signals in a channel (see Figure 141) should be
length matched, routed on the same layer, and referenced to the Receive Clock in
section Section 19.6.2.1. The signals do not need to be length matched between
channels, only within a channel. Table 86 provides routing guidelines for the Receive
Interface signals.
