Altera 40-Gbps Ethernet MAC and PHY MegaCore Function - Manual (Page 76)

Signal Name Direction Description
dout_runt_last_
data[-1:0]
Output Indicates that the last_data (the final data byte of the frame) is the final
data byte of a runt frame (< 64 bytes). If a frame is eight bytes or
smaller, it is considered a decoding error and not a runt frame, and the
IP core does not flag it with this signal.
dout_payload[
-1:0]
Output Word contains packet data (including destination and source
addresses) as opposed to only containing Idle bytes. CRC and padding
bits are considered data for this signal. When preamble pass-through is
turned on, the preamble is also considered data for this signal.
dout_fcs_error Output The current or most recent last_data byte is part of a frame with an
incorrect FCS (CRC-32) value. By default, the IP core asserts
dout_
fcs_error
in the same cycle as the
dout_last_data
signal. However,
in RX automatic pad removal mode, the
dout_fcs_error
signal might
lag the
dout_last_data
signal for the frame.
dout_fcs_valid Output The FCS error bit is valid.
dout_dst_addr_
match[-1:0]
Output The first data word in a frame that matches the destination address in
the
DST_AD0_LO
and
DST_AD0_HI
registers. However, if bit 30 of the
MADDR_CTRL
register has the value of 0, the address is always considered
to match. Otherwise, if bit 0 of the
MADDR_CTRL
register has the value of
0, the address is always considered to not match.
dout_valid Output The
dout_d
bus contents are valid. This signal is occasionally
deasserted due to clock crossing.
clk_rxmac Input RX MAC clock. The minimum clock frequency is 315 MHz. The
clk_
rxmac
clock and the
clk_txmac
clock (which clocks the TX datapath)
are not related and their rates do not have to match.
The data bytes use 100 Gigabit Media Independent Interface (CGMII-like) encoding. For packet payload
bytes, the
dout_c
bit is set to 0 and the
dout_d
byte is the packet data. You can use this information to
transmit out-of-spec data such as customized preambles when implementing non-standard variants of the
IEEE 802.3ba-2010 100G Ethernet Standard. If the additional customized data is not required, simply
ignore all words which are marked with
dout_payload
= 0 and discard the
dout_c
bus.
In RX preamble pass-through mode,
dout_c
has the value of 1 while the start byte of the preamble is
presented on the RX interface, and
dout_c
has the value of 0 while the remainder of the preamble
sequence (six-byte preamble plus SFD byte) is presented on the RX interface. While the preamble
sequence is presented on the RX interface,
dout_payload
has the value of 1.
