1. About the Low Latency 40G Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP

Updated for:
Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Suite 24.2
IP Version 3.0.0

The Low Latency 40G Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP for Agilex™ 5 devices is an integrated MAC and PHY solution with GTS transceiver conforming to the IEEE 802.3 Standard. The MAC interfaces with its client via (128-bit) Avalon® streaming interface for data-path and a 32-bit Avalon® memory-mapped interface for control and status path. This IP supports Standard XLAUI interfaces on network interface and it does not support the KR4, backplane feature.
