7. XAUI PHY IP Core
XAUI extends the physical separation possible between the 10 Gbps Ethernet MAC function and the Ethernet standard PHY component to one meter. The XAUI IP Core accepts 72-bit data (single data rate–SDR XGMII) from the application layer at either 156.25 Mbps or 312.5 Mbps. The serial interface runs at either 4 × 3.125 Gbps or 4 × 6.25 Gbps (DDR XAUI option).
For Stratix IV GX and GT devices, you can choose a hard XAUI physical coding sublayer (PCS) and physical media attachment (PMA), or a soft XAUI PCS and PMA in low latency mode. You can also combine both hard and soft PCS configurations in the same device, using all channels in a transceiver bank. The PCS is only available in soft logic for Stratix V devices.
For more detailed information about the XAUI transceiver channel datapath, clocking, and channel placement, refer to the “XAUI” section in the Transceiver Configurations in Stratix V Devices chapter of the Stratix V Device Handbook.
