IXF1010 - 10-port Gigabit Ethernet MAC The IXF1010 is a 10-port Gigabit Ethernet MAC that provides a high performance 10 Gigabit per second system-level interface and 10 individual 100/1000 full-duplex Ethernet MACs. The high performance interface (10 Gigabit) to the network processor or switching ASIC is supported via the industry standard System Packet Interface Level 4 Phase 2 (SPI4-2). The PHY interface is supported via the industry standard Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII). The IXF1010 is ideal in solutions for high-end, modular switching applications (routers, multi-service switches, etc.) that support LAN and WAN technologies.

Features and Benefits
Cortina's implementation of SP14-2 offers high performance and robustness through the following unique features:

  • Utilization of a combination of static and dynamic phase alignment empowers designers with the most flexible and robust design scenario in routing SPI4-2 over long trace lengths and through connectors
  • Support of 400MHz double data rate clock accommodates for the additional bandwidth needed to support overhead functions like in-band management-without impacting the full performance of 10Gbs Ethernet data rates
  • Implementation of a receive FIFO status channel improves the efficiency of flow control in non-blocking, high performance systems
  • Cost-effective MAC memory architecture supports high performance with minimal memory usage.
