2.7 High-Speed Serial Interfaces
(Ask a Question)This section discusses about high-speed serial interfaces.
Up to 16 SerDes lanes are available and each of them has the following characteristics:
- XGMII Extended Sublayer (XGXS)/10 Gbps Attachment Unit Interface (XAUI) extension (to implement a 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Media Independent Interface (XGMII)) Ethernet Embedded Physical Interface (PHY) interface)
- Native EPCS SerDes interface facilitates implementation of serial rapid IO in fabric or an SGMII interface to a soft Ethernet MAC
- PCIe endpoint controller
- ×1, ×2, and ×4 lane PCI express core
- Up to 2 kbps maximum payload size
- 64/32-bit Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI)/Advanced High-performance Bus (AHB) Host and Client interfaces to the application layer
