Overview
The Synopsys DesignWare Ethernet MAC 10/100/1G Universal Core enables the host to communicate data using the Gigabit Ethernet protocol (IEEE 802.3).
The Ethernet MAC 10/100/1G Universal Core is composed of three main layers: the Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller (GMAC), the MAC Transaction Layer (MTL), and the MAC DMA Controller (MDC).
Other features include the following:
General Features
- Compliant with the full IEEE 802.3-2002 specifications.
- Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag detection for reception frames
- Configurable to support
- 10/100/1000 Mbps data transfer rates
- 10/100 Mpbs only
- 1000 Mbps only
- Support of CSMA/CD Protocol for Half-Duplex operation
- Support Full-Duplex only configuration
- Supports packet bursting & frame-extension in 1000 Mbps Half-Duplex mode
- Supports IEEE 802.3x flow-control for Full-Duplex operation
- Supports a variety of flexible address filtering modes
- Complete Network statistics (Optional) with RMON/MIB Counters (RFC2819/RFC2665)
PHY Interface Features
- IEEE 802.3 compliant GMII/ MII/RMII
- IEEE 802.3z compliant TBI/RTBI with Auto-negotiation support
- Supports SGMII interface
- MDIO Master interface (optional) for PHY device configuration and management
Application Interface Features
- Optimized for packet-oriented DMA transfers with frame delimiters
- DATA interface configurable to support FIFO interface or AHB interface
