This 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 QGMII core are connected to multiple instances of an embedded Ethernet MAC, for example, the Xilinx Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC core.
