10GBASE-KR PHY Data Interfaces
The following table describes the signals in the XGMII and GMII interfaces. The MAC drives the TX
XGMII and GMII signals to the 10GBASE-KR PHY. The 10GBASE-KR PHY drives the RX XGMII or
GMII signals to the MAC.

Signal Name Direction Description
10GBASE-KR XGMII Data Interface
xgmii_tx_dc[71:0]
Input XGMII data and control for 8 lanes. Each lane
consists of 8 bits of data and 1 bit of control.
xgmii_tx_clk
Input Clock for single data rate (SDR) XGMII TX
interface to the MAC. It should connect to xgmii_
rx_clk . The frequency is 156.25 MHz irrespective
of 1588 being enabled or disabled. Driven from the
MAC.
This clock is derived from the transceiver reference
clock (pll_ref_clk_10g).
xgmii_rx_dc[71:0]
Output RX XGMII data and control for 8 lanes. Each lane
consists of 8 bits of data and 1 bit of control.
xgmii_rx_clk
Input Clock for SDR XGMII RX interface to the MAC.
The frequency is 156.25 MHz irrespective of 1588
being enabled or disabled. Driven from the MAC.
This clock is derived from the transceiver reference
clock (pll_ref_clk_10g).
10GBASE-KR GMII Data Interface
gmii_tx_d[7:0]
Input TX data for 1G mode. Synchronized to tx_clkout_
1g clock. The TX PCS 8B/10B module encodes this
data which is sent to link partner.
gmii_rx_d[7:0]
Output RX data for 1G mode. Synchronized to rx_clkout_
1g clock. The RX PCS 8B/10B decoders decodes this
data and sends it to the MAC.
gmii_tx_en
Input When asserted, indicates the start of a new frame. It
should remain asserted until the last byte of data on
the frame is present on gmii_tx_d .
gmii_tx_err
Input When asserted, indicates an error. May be asserted
at any time during a frame transfer to indicate an
error in that frame.
