Components and Interfaces
This section describes the development board's communication ports and interface
cards relative to the Stratix V GT device. The development board supports the
following components and interfaces:
■ 10/100/1000 Ethernet
■ Transceiver interfaces
■ XFP interface
■ Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) interface
10/100/1000 Ethernet
The development board supports a 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet connection using a
Marvell 88E1111 PHY device and the Altera Triple-Speed Ethernet MegaCore MAC
function. The device is an auto-negotiating Ethernet PHY with an SGMII interface to
the FPGA. The Stratix V GT device can communicate with the LVDS interfaces at up
to 1.25 Gbps. The MAC function must be provided in the FPGA for typical
networking applications. The Marvell 88E1111 PHY uses 2.5-V and 1.2-V power rails
and requires a 25-MHz reference clock driven from a dedicated oscillator. It interfaces
to an RJ-45 with internal magnetics that can be used for driving copper lines with
Ethernet traffic.
Figure 2–9 shows the SGMII interface between the FPGA (MAC) and Marvell 88E1111
PHY.
Table 2–31 lists the Ethernet PHY interface pin assignments.
