6.4. RX PCS Interface to User Logic

The Tx PCS interface signals are available only in PCS and PMA mode. The user interface for the PCS receive direction is an XLGMII interface.
Table 17.  RX PCS XLGMII Signals
Signal Name Direction Width Description
clk_rx_mii Output 1 This is the recovered clock from incoming serial data from the network interface. The Rx MII interface is synchronous to clk_rx_mii. The frequency of this clock is 312.5 MHz. This is derived from the clk_ref_p/n of the Agilex™ 5 PMA.
rx_mii_d Output 128

Rx MII data to the Client from Rx PCS, synchronous to clk_rx_mii.

When rx_mii_valid has the value of 0 or rx_pcs_am has the value of 1, the value on rx_mii_d is invalid.

rx_mii_c Output 16

Rx MII control bits to the Client from Rx PCS, synchronous to clk_rx_mii.

When rx_mii_valid has the value of 0 or rx_pcs_am has the value of 1, the value on rx_mii_d is invalid.

rx_mii_am Output 1 Received alignment marker indication to the Client from Rx PCS, synchronous to clk_rx_mii.
rx_mii_valid Output 1 Indicates that rx_mii_d, rx_mii_c, and rx_pcs_am are valid, synchronous to clk_rx_mii.
