Description
rx_ingress_timestamp_64b_data[]
Out
64
Carries the 64-bit ingress timestamp
in the following format:
• Bits 16 to 63: 48-bit nanoseconds
field
• Bits 0 to 15: 16-bit fractional
nanoseconds field
This timestamp is used in transparent
clock devices.
rx_time_of_day_96b_10g_data
(for 10 Gbps)
In
96
Carries the time of day (ToD) from
an external ToD module to the MAC
IP core in the following format:
• Bits 48 to 95: 48-bit seconds field
• Bits 16 to 47: 32-bit nanoseconds
field
• Bits 0 to 15: 16-bit fractional
nanoseconds field
rx_time_of_day_96b_1g_data
(for 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps)
rx_time_of_day_64b_10g_data
(for 10 Gbps)
In
64
Carries the ToD from an external
ToD module the MAC IP core in the
following format:
• Bits 16 to 63: 48-bit nanoseconds
field
• Bits 0 to 15: 16-bit fractional
nanoseconds field
rx_time_of_day_64b_1g_data
(for 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps)
rx_path_delay_10g_data
(for 10 Gbps)
In
16
Connect this bus to the Altera PHY
IP. This bus carries the path delay
(residence time), measured between
the physical network and the PHY
side of the MAC IP Core (XGMII,
GMII, or MII). The MAC IP core
uses this value when generating the
ingress timestamp to account for the
delay. The path delay is in the
following format:
• Bits 0 to 9: Fractional number of
clock cycle
• Bits 10 to 15/21: Number of clock
cycle
rx_path_delay_1g_data
(for 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps)
