Figure 3-5: Traffic on the TX and RX Client Interface for 100GbE IP Core Using the Eight- to Five-Word
Adapters
Shows typical traffic for the TX and RX Avalon-ST interface of the 100GbE IP core. This example shows a
part of a ModelSim simulation of the parallel testbench provided with the IP core.

40-100GbE IP Core TX Data Bus Without Adapters (Custom Streaming Interface)
When no adapters are used, the 40GbE custom interface bus width is 2 words (128 bits) and the 100GbE
custom interface bus width is 5 words (320 bits). In both cases the client interfaces operate at a frequency
above 315 MHz.
Figure 3-6: TX Client to MAC Interface Without Adapters
The custom streaming interface bus width varies with the IP core variation. In the figure, <w> = 2 for the
40GbE IP core and <w> = 5 for the 100GbE IP core.
