1000BASE-X Standard with TBI Example Design
Figure 4-2 illustrates the example design in 1000BASE-X mode using a TBI. As illustrated,
the example is split between two hierarchical layers. The block level is designed so that it
can be instantiated directly into customer designs and performs the following functions:
• Instantiates the core from HDL
• Connects the physical-side interface of the core to device IOBs, creating an external
TBI. See Chapter 6, “The Ten-Bit Interface.”
The top level of the example design creates a specific example that can be simulated,
synthesized, implemented, and if required, placed on a suitable board and demonstrated
in hardware. The top level of the example design performs the following functions:
• Instantiates the block level from HDL
• Derives the clock management logic for the core
• Implements an external GMII
