Ethernet IP Solutions for Virtex 6 HXT x16PCIe Development Platform

Dual QSFP+ and Dual SFP+ interfaces of the HTG-V6HXT-x16PCIe module can be used to implement multi-port 40Gbps, 10Gbps and 1Gbps Ethernet solutions. Additionally, the FMC connector with 10 HXT transceivers interface can be used for evaluating the 100Gbps Ethernet solution. Ethernet IP solutions provided by Mantaro for the HTG-V6HXT-x16PCIe module are:

100Gbps 802.3ba Compliant Ethernet; Based upon Mantaro supplied 100G MAC and 100G PCS IP cores; 10x 10Gbps links on the FMC connector

40Gbps 802.3ba Compliant Ethernet; Based upon Mantaro supplied 40G MAC and 40G PCS IP cores; 4x 10Gbps links on the QSFP+ cages

10Gbps/1Gbps 802.3-2008 compliant, runtime configurable 10Gbps/1Gbps dual-mode Ethernet; Based upon Mantaro supplied 10G/1G MAC core and Xilinx no-charge 10GBASE-R plus 1000Base-X PCS cores; 1x 10Gbps link on the SFP+ cages

10Gbps only 802.3-2008 compliant Ethernet; Based upon Mantaro supplied 10G MAC core and Xilinx no-charge core; 1x 10Gbps link on the SFP+ cages

All Ethernet solutions are supplied with no-charge statistics (RMON) block. If required, MDIO, I2C and DRP Controller cores to control and configure the external PHYs/XVRs and GTH blocks are also provided by Mantaro on a no-charge basis as part of the Ethernet solution.

Following diagram shows the module elements and the IP blocks used for the Ethernet solutions:
