3.3.1. LL 100GbE IP Core Signals

The signals of the LL 100GbE IP core are described in the following formats:

  • The figure identifies the IP core interfaces.
  • Tables list the signals and the interfaces to which they belong.
  • Links guide you to descriptions for the individual signals, by interface. The links appear in Related Links.
Figure 34. Top-Level Signals of the LL 100GbE IP Core In the figure, <v> is the number of transceiver PHY links (4 for CAUI-4 IP cores and 10 for standard 100GbE IP cores). <N> is the number of priority flow control queues. (<N> = 1 for IP cores configured with standard flow control or with no flow control, and <N> = the value of the relevant parameter for IP cores configured with priority-based flow control). In the 1588 PTP signals, <W> is the width of the fingerprint.
