5. 1G/10GbE MAC Design Example
This section describes the 1G/10GbE MAC with Backplane Ethernet Backplane
Ethernet 10GBASE-KR PHY design example, the testbench, and its components. You
can configure the Backplane Ethernet 10GBASE-KR PHY IP to the following modes:
■ Backplane-KR mode to interface with copper backplane
■ 1G/10Gb Ethernet mode to interface with optical SFP+ modules or copper PHY
devices
1
Backplane Ethernet 10GBASE-KR PHY only supports Arria V GZ and Stratix V
devices.
5.1. Software and Hardware Requirements
Altera uses the following hardware and software to test the 1G/10GbE design
example and testbench:
■ Altera Complete Design Suite 13.0
■ Backplane Ethernet 10GBASE-KR PHY
■ Transceiver Signal Integrity Development Kit, Stratix V GX Edition
■ ModelSim-AE 6.6c, ModelSim-SE 6.6c or higher
1
The 1G/10GbE mode is only supported in the production silicon version of the
development board.
