4.1. Architecture

The Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC Intel® FPGA IP core is a composition of the following blocks:
  • Clock and reset—Generates all the clock sources and reset signals required for the whole MAC.
  • Configuration and status registers—Stores all the physical storage elements and access interfaces of configuration and status registers, including statistic counters/registers.
  • MAC transmitter (MAC TX)—Handles transmit path operations.
  • MAC receiver (MAC RX)—Handles receive path operations.
