10Gb+ MAC IP Core
FPGA Top
The 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC transmits and receives data between a host processor and an Ethernet network. The
main function of the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC is to ensure that the Media Access rules specified in the 802.3 IEEE
standard are met while transmitting a frame of data over Ethernet. On the receive side, the Ethernet MAC extracts
the different components of a frame and transfers them to higher applications through a FIFO interface.

The MAC is responsible for constructing a valid frame from the data received from the user's application before
transmitting it. On the receive path, it receives frames from the network through the XGMII interface and passes the
parameters of the frame to the MAC client (FIFO interface). The transmit path logic accepts the frame from the user
application through a FIFO interface. The fields of the Ethernet frame that are expected from the application interface are shown in Figures 2-5 and 2-6.
On the transmit path, the MAC can be programmed in one of two modes. In the first mode (Figure 2-5), when the
frame from the user contains the FCS along with the DESTINATION ADDRESS, SOURCE ADDRESS, LENGTH /
TYPE and Data the Transmit MAC adds the SOF, preamble and SFD before transmitting the frame. This mode can
be set by enabling the tx_pass_fcs bit in the TX_CTL register. In the second mode (Figure 2-6), the MAC calculates
the number of bytes to be padded as well (if required) in addition to the FCS for the entire frame and adds the SOF,
preamble and SFD before transmitting the frame.
Similarly, on the receive path, the MAC can be programmed to transfer the frame as it was received to the FIFO
(Promiscuous mode) or after stripping off the FCS and any pad fields. In all cases the SOF, preamble and SFD
bytes will always be stripped off the frame before it is transferred to the FIFO.

The core has a number of inputs, which are used to provide control of the various modes of operation. Registers
have been included at the top level of the FPGA. These registers are not part of the core. They are discussed in an
appendix. The functionality of the MAC core is described in the following sections.
Receive MAC
The receive MAC is responsible for receiving the incoming frames and transferring them to the FIFO. In the process, it performs the following operations:
• Checks the frame for a valid SOF and SFD symbol.
• Determines whether the frame should be received by analyzing the Destination Address.
• Determines the type of the frame by analyzing the Length/Type field.
• Checks for any errors in the frame by recalculating the CRC and comparing it with the expected value.

10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP Core User’s Guide
Lattice Semiconductor
Functional Description
The user can specify whether the FCS field should be written into the FIFO by programming the receive MAC configuration register. If the FCS field is to be stripped off the frame, any padding bytes within the frame will be stripped
off as well.
Once a valid start of frame is detected, the destination address field of the incoming frame is analyzed. If the destination address was a unicast address, it is compared with the programmed MAC address. Unless the PRMS bit
was set in the RX_CTL register, the incoming frame will be discarded if the destination address field and the programmed MAC address do not match.
If the frame had a multicast address and if receive_all_mc signal is not asserted, all such frames are dropped
(except pause frames). If the frame had a multicast address and if receive_all_mc signal is asserted, the multicast
frames are subject to address filtering rules as described below.
For all frames with multicast address, the CRC of the destination address is computed and the mid six bits of the
least significant byte of the CRC is chosen as the address to a hash table. The MAC implements an eight row table
with eight bits in each row. The lower three bits of the selected CRC are used to select one of these eight rows and
the next three bits are used to select one of the bits in the selected table. The incoming multicast frame is accepted
if the bit selected from the hash table was set to one. It is discarded if the bit selected was zero.
If the incoming frame had a broadcast address it will be accepted if the either the prms or the receive_bc bit was
set. A broadcast frame is discarded if none of these signals are set.
A statistics vector that provides information about the incoming frame is generated when an incoming frame is
received and transferred to the FIFO. A vector is not generated for all those frames that are discarded (No address
match or frame length less than 64 bytes) or ignored (user asserts the ignore_pkt signal).
The vector is used to drive the management information block counters that keep track of all the happenings on the
line. The composition of the statistics vector is shown in Table 2-1.

Frame Byte Count
The full condition of the FIFO can be avoided by asserting the ignore_pkt signal. At the time a new frame is
received, the receive logic samples this signal to determine whether the frame should be received.
Latency
Since the frame is buffered before being sent to the FIFO, there will be an initial latency. The first 64 bytes of a
frame are buffered before they are sent out. Since the internal data path is 64 bits wide, the latency from the time a
frame appears at the XGMII input to the time it begins to transfer to the FIFO will be eight clock cycles.

Functional Description
Transmit MAC
The main functions of the Transmit MAC are:
• Data padding for short frames when FCS generation is enabled.
• Generation of a pause frame when the tx_pausreq signal is asserted.
• To stop frame transmission when a Pause frame is received by the Receive MAC.
• Implement link fault signaling logic and transmit appropriate sequences based on the remote link status.
The TX_CTL register controls the operation of this module. For every frame transmitted, a statistics vector is generated. The composition of the vector is shown in Table 2-2.

Statistics Counters
This module provides counters for all of the bits in the statistics vectors. It also implements statistic counters from
RFC2819 and RMON. The width of the counters is specified through a parameter and can have a value from 16 to
40 bits for all devices. The counters are read through an interface that returns the complete counter value in
response to a read request. An acknowledgement is returned to indicate that the counter value on the read data
bus is valid. There are separate request, acknowledge, and data buses for transmit counters and receive counters.
The address bus is shared for transmit and receive counters. The Statistics Counter is a part of the reference
design. A list of statistic counters is provided in Table 5-1 on page 25.
PHY Interface
The Reconciliation sublayer interface is implemented as a 64-bit wide single edge data bus and an 8-bit wide single
edge control bus. To allow this interface to conform to the XGMII definition DDR I/O cells are added at the top level
of the FPGA when this core is implemented. To allow this interface to conform to the XAUI definition a
PCS/SERDES quad is added at the top level of the FPGA when this core is implemented. The top level file provided with this core contains the logic to implement one of these choices.
Register Description
There are no registers in this core. All control and status information is passed between this core and the top level
of the device through individual I/O ports on the core. Registers must be added to the top level to control and monitor these ports. A reference description of a set of registers to do this is included as an appendix to this user's
guide.

Transmit Interface
When there is a packet ready for transmission, the tx_data_avail is asserted. This signal should stay active until the
MAC asserts the tx_read, after which MAC will ignore the status of tx_data_avail and so the tx_data_avail signal
can be deactivated. The data is available one clock cycle after the MAC asserts the tx_read. The MAC continues
reading the packet until it gets tx_eof active. The tx_eof signal is asserted when the last byte of data is transmitted.
Internally the MAC buffers the data before it starts transmission of a packet. The MAC may stop/continue reading to
maintain the level of the buffer due to factors like IPG insertion and Pause reception. Hence, the tx_read signal can
be deactivated anytime during the transfer. Once the MAC receives tx_eof, the MAC will again start monitoring the
tx_data_avail signal.
Figure 2-7. Transmission of a 64 Data Byte Frame
The tx_staten signal will be asserted once the entire frame is received from the user's interface.
Receive Interface
When the MAC receives the data, it asserts rx_write. The MAC asserts rx_sof when it writes the first byte of data.
The rx_write signal may be deasserted anytime between a packet. In this case the value on rx_data signal is not
valid. The end of a packet is indicated with the assertion of rx_eof signal.

Chapter 4:
IP Core Generation
This chapter provides information on how to generate the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core using the Diamond or ispLEVER software IPexpress tool, and how to include the core in a top-level design.
Licensing the IP Core
An IP core- and device-specific license is required to enable full, unrestricted use of the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP
core in a complete, top-level design. Instructions on how to obtain licenses for Lattice IP cores are given at:
http://www.latticesemi.com/products/intellectualproperty/aboutip/isplevercoreonlinepurchas.cfm
Users may download and generate the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core and fully evaluate the core through functional
simulation and implementation (synthesis, map, place and route) without an IP license. The 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC
IP core also supports Lattice’s IP hardware evaluation capability, which makes it possible to create versions of the
IP core that operate in hardware for a limited time (approximately four hours) without requiring an IP license. See
“Hardware Evaluation” on page 23 for further details. However, a license is required to enable timing simulation, to
open the design in the Diamond or ispLEVER EPIC tool, and to generate bitstreams that do not include the hardware evaluation timeout limitation.
Getting Started
The 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core is available for download from the Lattice IP Server using the IPexpress tool.
The IP files are automatically installed using ispUPDATE technology in any customer-specified directory. After the
IP core has been installed, the IP core will be available in the IPexpress GUI dialog box shown in Figure 4-1.
The IPexpress tool GUI dialog box for the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core is shown in Figure 4-1. To generate a specific IP core configuration the user specifies:
• Project Path – Path to the directory where the generated IP files will be located.
• File Name – “username” designation given to the generated IP core and corresponding folders and files.
• (Diamond) Module Output – Verilog or VHDL.
• (ispLEVER) Design Entry Type – Verilog HDL or VHDL.
• Device Family – Device family to which IP is to be targeted (e.g. LatticeSCM, Lattice ECP2M, LatticeECP3,
etc.). Only families that support the particular IP core are listed.
• Part Name – Specific targeted part within the selected device family.

File
Description
<username>.ipx
The IPX file holds references to all of the elements of an IP or Module after it is generated from
the IPexpress tool (Diamond version only). The file is used to bring in the appropriate files during
the design implementation and analysis. It is also used to re-load parameter settings into the
IP/Module generation GUI when an IP/Module is being re-generated.
<username>_top.[v,vhd]
This file provides a module which instantiates the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC core. This file can be
easily modified for the user's instance of the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC core. This file is located in
the
<username>_eval/<username>_/src/rtl/top/ directory.
These are all of the files necessary to implement and verify the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core in your own top-level
design. The following additional files providing IP core generation status information are also generated in the
“Project Path” directory:
• <username>_generate.log – Synthesis and map log file.
• <username>_gen.log – IPexpress IP generation log file.
The \<ten_gbe_eval> and subtending directories provide files supporting 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC core evaluation.
The \<ten_gbe_eval> directory shown in Figure 4-3 contains files/folders with content that is constant for all configurations of the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC. The \<username> subfolder (\ten_gbe_core0 in this example) contains files/folders with content specific to the username configuration.
The \ten_gbe_eval directory is created by IPexpress the first time the core is generated and updated each time
the core is regenerated. A \<username> directory is created by IPexpress each time the core is generated and
regenerated each time the core with the same file name is regenerated. A separate \<username> directory is
generated for cores with different names, e.g. \<ten_gbe_core0>, \<ten_gbe_core1>, etc.
Instantiating the Core
The generated 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core package includes black-box (<username>_bb.v) and instance
(<username>_inst.v) templates that can be used to instantiate the core in a top-level design. Two example RTL toplevel reference source files are provided in 
\<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\<username>\src\rtl\top\sc.
The top-level file ten_gbemac_top.v is the same top-level that is used in the simulation model described in the next
section. Designers may use this top-level reference as the starting template for the top-level for their complete
design. Included in ten_gbemac_top.v is logic, memory and clock modules supporting an XGMII interface loop
back capability, a register module supporting programmable control of the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC core parameters
and system processor interface via the LatticeSC integrated SYSBUS capability. Verilog source RTL for these modules is provided in \<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\<username>\src\rtl\template\sc. The top-level configuration is specified via the parameters defined in the ten_gbemac_defines.v file in
\<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\<username>\src\params. A description of the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC
parameters is in the parameters section of this document. A description of the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC register layout for this reference design is provided in an appendix to this document.
The top-level file ten_gbemac_core_only_top.v supports the ability to implement just the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC
core itself. This design is intended only to provide an accurate indication of the device utilization associated with
the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC core and should not be used as an actual implementation example.
Running Functional Simulation
The functional simulation includes a configuration-specific behavioral model of the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP Core
(<username>_beh.v) that is instantiated in an FPGA top level along with a client-side interface loop back capability
module and register implementation module.

The top-level file supporting ModelSim eval simulation is provided in 
\<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\<username>\sim\modelsim. This FPGA top is instantiated in an eval testbench provided in \<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\testbench\sc that configures FPGA test logic registers and 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core control and status registers via an included test file stimulus_file.v provided
in \<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\testbench\tests\sc. Note the user can edit the stimulus_file.v file to
configure and monitor whatever registers they desire.
Users may run the eval simulation by doing the following:
1. Open ModelSim.
2. Under the File tab, select Change Directory and choose folder
\<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\<username>\sim\modelsim.
3. Under the Tools tab, select Execute Macro and execute one of the ModelSim “do” scripts shown.
The top-level file supporting Aldec Active-HD® simulation is provided in 
\<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\<username>\sim\aldec. This FPGA top is instantiated in an eval testbench provided in \<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\testbench\sc that configures FPGA test logic registers
and 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core control and status registers via an included test file stimulus_file.v provided in
\<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\testbench\tests\sc. Note the user can edit the stimulus_file.v file to
configure and monitor whatever registers they desire.
Users may run the eval simulation by doing the following:
1. Open Active-HDL.
2. Under the Console tab, change the directory to:
<project_dir>\ten_gbe_eval\<username>\sim\aldec???????????????????????????????????????????????
3. Execute the Active-HDL “do” scripts shown.
The simulation waveform results will be displayed in the Aldec Active-HDL Wave window.
Synthesizing and Implementing the Core in a Top-Level Design
The 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core itself is synthesized and is provided in NGO format when the core is generated.
Users may synthesize the core in their own top-level design by instantiating the core in their top level as described
previously and then synthesizing the entire design with either Synplify or Precision RTL Synthesis.
Two example RTL top-level configurations supporting 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC core top-level synthesis and implementation are provided with the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core in 
\<project_dir>\ten_gbemac_eval\<username>\impl.
The top-level file ten_gbemac_core_only_top.v provided in 
\<project_dir>\ten_gbemac_eval\<username>\src\rtl\top supports the ability to implement just the
10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC core. This design is intended only to provide an accurate indication of the device utilization
associated with the core itself and should not be used as an actual implementation example.
The top-level file ten_gbemac_reference_top.v provided in 
\<project_dir>\ten_gbemac_eval\<username>\src\rtl\top supports the ability to instantiate, simulate, map, place and route the Lattice 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core in a complete example design. This reference
design basically provides a loopback path for packets on the MAC Rx/Tx client interface, through a FIFO and associated logic. Ethernet packets are sourced to the Rx XGMII and looped back on the MAC Rx/Tx Client FIFO interface. Source and destination addresses in the Ethernet frame can be swapped so the looped back packets on the
Tx XGMII have the correct source and destination addresses. This is the same configuration that is used in the
evaluation simulation capability described previously. Note that implementation of the reference evaluation configuration is targeted to a specific device and package type for each device family.

This chapter gives application support information for the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core.
Reference Register Descriptions
There are no registers in this IP core. All control and status information is passed between the core and the top
level of the device through individual I/O ports on the core. Registers must be added to the top level to control and
monitor these ports. This appendix describes all the registers needed to control and monitor the 10 Gb+ MAC IP
core and the test logic at the top level. Unused bits of all the registers cannot be written. When read, the unused
bits return a value of zero. The default values of the registers are restored when the core is reset.
All the registers except the MODE register should be written only after disabling the MAC. All of the registers can
be read at any time.

Multicast Tables, set of eight (MLT_TAB_[0-7])
When the core is programmed to receive multicast frames, a filtering scheme is used to decide whether the frame
should be received or not. The six middle bits of the most significant byte of the CRC value, calculated for the destination address, are used as a key to the 64-bit hash table. The three most significant bits select one of the eight
tables, and the three least significant bits select a bit. The frame is received only if this bit is set.

Appendix A:
Resource Utilization
This appendix gives resource utilization information for Lattice FPGAs using the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC IP core.
IPexpress is the Lattice IP configuration utility, and is included as a standard feature of the Diamond and ispLEVER
design tools. Details regarding the usage of IPexpress can be found in the IPexpress and Diamond or ispLEVER
help system. For more information on the Diamond or ispLEVER design tools, visit the Lattice web site at:

1. Performance and utilization data are generated using an LFE2-35E-7F672C device with Lattice’s Diamond 1.1 software with Synplify Pro
D-2010.03L-SP1 synthesis. Performance may vary when using a different software version or targeting a different device density or speed
grade within the LatticeECP2/S family.
2. The 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC core itself does not use any external pins. However, in an application the core is used together IODDR and I/O
Buffers integrated in the LatticeECP2 series FPGA. Thus the application implementing the 10 Gb+ Ethernet MAC specification will utilize
I/O pins.
