Typical applications for the QSGMII core include the following:

QSGMII MAC

The following figure illustrates a typical application for the QSGMII core when operating in MAC mode using a device-specific transceiver to provide the serial interface.

  • The device-specific transceiver is connected to an external off-the-shelf QSGMII PHY (This can be a device that supports conversion of QSGMII to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, or 1000BASE-T.)
  • The GMII interfaces of the QSGMII core are connected to multiple instances of an embedded Ethernet MAC, for example, the AMD Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC core.

QSGMII PHY

The following figure illustrates a typical application for the QSGMII core when operating in PHY mode, using a device-specific transceiver to provide the serial interface.

  • The device-specific transceiver is connected to an external off-the-shelf Ethernet MAC device that also supports QSGMII. (This can be multiple instances of tri-mode MAC providing 10/100/1000 Mb/s operation, for example, the AMD Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC core connected to QSGMII core in MAC mode.)
  • The GMII/MII interface of QSGMII core is connected to a tri-mode PHY providing 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 1000BASE-T operation.
