■ Optional cyclic redundancy code (CRC)-32 computation and insertion on the
transmit datapath; CRC checking on the receive datapath with optional
forwarding of the frame check sequence (FCS) field to the client application.
■ Checking of receive frames for FCS error, undersized and oversized frames, and
payload length error.
■ Deficit idle counter (DIC) for optimized performance with average inter-packet
gap (IPG) of 12 bytes for LAN applications.
■ Optional statistics collection on the transmit and receive datapaths.
■ Packets termination when the transmit datapath receives incomplete packets.
■ Programmable maximum length of transmit and receive frames up to
64 Kbytes (KB).
■ Programmable promiscuous (transparent) mode.
■ Optional Ethernet flow control and priority-based flow control (PFC) using pause
frames with programmable pause quanta. The PFC supports up to 8 priority
queues.
■ Optional padding termination on the receive datapath and insertion on the
transmit datapath.
■ Design examples with optional loopback and testbench for design verification.
■ Optional preamble passthrough mode on the transmit and receive datapaths. The
preamble passthrough mode allows you to define the preamble in the client frame.
■ Programmable datapath option to allow separate instantiation of MAC TX block,
MAC RX block, or both MAC TX and MAC RX blocks.
■ Optional IEEE 1588v2 feature for the following configurations:
■ 10GbE MAC with 10GBASE-R PHY MegaCore function
■ 1G/10GbE MAC with Backplane Ethernet 10GBASE-KR PHY MegaCore
function
■ Multi-speed 10M-10GbE MAC with Backplane Ethernet 10GBASE-KR PHY
MegaCore function
