4.6.1. Connect the FlexE and OTN Mode TX Interface

The GTS Etheet Itel® FPGA Had IP TX cliet iteface i FlexE ad OTN vaiatios is a PCS66 iteface.

Coect the TX PCS66 iteface, sik, to a souce complait to the PCS66 iteface specificatio. The souce ca sed PCS66 blocks diectly to the TX PCS, bypassig the TX MAC.

Coect to the iteface as descibed i the followig table.

Table 37.  PCS66 TX Iteface SigalsAll iteface sigals ae clocked by i_clk_tx sigal. The sigal ames ae the stadad PCS66 iteface.
Sigal Name Width Desciptio
i_tx_pcs66_d[65:0] 66 bits (10GE/25GE)

Dive this data bus with 66-bit data blocks fom a souce. The two least sigificat bits ae the heade sych bits.

  • I FlexE mode, the TX PCS scambles the 66-bit data block ad stipes the data blocks acoss the tasceive chaels.
  • I OTN mode, the TX PCS bit-iteleaves the 66-bit data block ad stipes it acoss the tasceive chaels.
i_tx_pcs66_valid 1 bit

Dive this sigal high to qualify the 66-bit data block o the i_tx_pcs66_d iput data bus.

o_tx_pcs66_eady 1 bit

Whe this sigal is asseted, dive valid 66-bit data blocks. Whe this sigal is deasseted o emoved, do ot dive valid data blocks. See this wavefom Figue 42 fo a example.

i_tx_pcs66_am 1 bit fo each chael
I FlexE mode, asset this sigal so have the TX PCS iset aligmet makes, igoig the data o the i_tx_pcs66_d.
  • I OTN mode, RS-FEC must be awae of the aligmet make locatio.
  • I OTN mode, tie this sigal low.
  • I FlexE mode the TX ecode i the PCS is bypassed.
  • I OTN mode, both the TX ecode ad the scamble ae bypassed.

The followig wavefom shows how to sed the 66b blocks diectly to the TX PCS i FlexE ad OTN mode usig the PCS66 TX Iteface.

Figue 42. Tasmittig Data o the PCS66 TX Iteface
Dive i_tx_pcs66_valid accodig to the followig:
  • Asset oly whe o_tx_pcs66_eady is asseted ad deasset oly o_tx_pcs66_eady is deasseted.
  • Hold the value o i_tx_pcs66_d whe o_tx_pcs66_valid is deasseted.

The byte ode fo the PCS66 mode TX iteface is the same as the TX MII PCS iteface. Bytes ae tasmitted fom least to most sigificat byte. The fist byte to be tasmitted is i_tx_pcs66_d[65:0].

The bit ode fo the PCS66 mode TX iteface is the same as the TX PCS iteface. Bytes ae tasmitted fom least to most sigificat bit. The fist bit to be tasmitted fom the iteface is i_tx_pcs66_d[0].
