1. About the Low Latency 40G Ethernet Core

Updated for:
Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Suite 21.3
IP Version 19.1.0

The Stratix® 10 Low Latency 40-Gbps Ethernet IP core implements the IEEE 802.3-2010 40G Ethernet Standard. The IP core includes options to support unidirectional transport as defined in Clause 66 of the IEEE 802.3-2012 Ethernet Standard and to support the IEEE 802.3-2012 Backplane Ethernet Standard.

The MAC client side interface for the Stratix® 10 Low Latency 40G Ethernet IP core is a 128-bit Avalon® streaming interface (Avalon-ST).

The IP core provides standard media access control (MAC), physical coding sublayer (PCS), and physical medium attachment (PMA) functions. The PHY comprises the PCS and PMA.
