Chapter 1 Overview The RXAU standard was developed as a means to improve the 10-Gigabit Ethernet port density. The number of XAU interfaces that could be implemented was limited by the number of available transceivers, with capacity and performance still to be utilized. RXAU halves the number of transceivers required compared with a XAU implementation. RXAU is a two-lane, 6.25 Gb/s-per-lane serial interface. t is intended to work with an existing XAU implementation and multiplexes/demultiplexes the two physical RXAU lanes into 4 logical XAU lanes. Each RXAU lane is a differential pair carrying current mode logic (CML) signaling, and the data on each lane is 8B/10B encoded before transmission. n this document: Virtex -7, Kintex -7 and Virtex-6 FPGAs GTX transceivers are abbreviated to GTX transceivers. Virtex-7 FPGA GTH transceiver is abbreviated to GTH transceiver. Artix -7 FPGA GTP transceiver is abbreviated to GTP transceiver. Feature Summary The RXAU core can be configured in one of two modes. une Networks: This RXAU implementation maintains 8B/10B disparity on the RXAU physical lane. The une Networks RXAU standard is fully specified in N-S-RXAU-Spec v.1.0. Marvell: This RXAU implementation maintains 8B/10B disparity on the XAU logical lane. The Marvell RXAU standard is fully specified in MV-S105398-00. Management nterface: The RXAU Core can be customized with either a two-wire low-speed serial MO nterface, or a configuration and status vector interface. LogiCORE RXAU v2.4 www.xilinx.com 7

Chapter 1: Overview Applications The applications of RXAU have extended beyond 10-Gigabit Ethernet to the backplane and other general high-speed interconnect applications. A typical backplane application is shown in Figure 1-1. X-Ref Target - Figure 1-1 Figure 1-1: Typical Backplane Application for RXAU Functional escription Figure 1-2 shows a block diagram of the une Networks RXAU core implementation. The major functional blocks of the core include the following: Transmit dle Generation Logic: Creates the code groups to allow synchronization and alignment at the receiver. emux Logic: Separates the two physical RXAU lanes into four logical XAU lanes. Synchronization State Machine (one per lane): dentifies byte boundaries in incoming serial data. eskew State Machine: e-skews the four received lanes into alignment. Optional MO nterface: A two-wire low-speed serial interface used to manage the core. Embedded Transceivers: Provide high-speed transceivers as well as 8B/10B encode and decode, and elastic buffering in the receive datapath. LogiCORE RXAU v2.4 www.xilinx.com 8

Chapter 1: Overview X-Ref Target - Figure 1-2 Figure 1-2: mplementation of une Networks RXAU Core Figure 1-3 shows a block diagram of the Marvell RXAU core implementation. The major functional blocks of the core include the ones previously described in the une Networks implementation, and the following: 8B/10B encoder / decoder: Performs 8B/10B data conversion eskew: e-skews the four received lanes into alignment Clock Correction: Elastic buffer and clock correction manipulation to handle difference in clock rates. The core is implemented with the transceiver instantiations in the source code rather than in the netlist. This provides more flexibility in a particular application to use additional device-specific transceiver features and resolve placement issues. LogiCORE RXAU v2.4 www.xilinx.com 9

Chapter 2 Product Specification Standards The RXAU P core is designed to the une Networks [Ref 2] and Marvell RXAU [Ref 3] specifications. Performance Latency These measurements are for the core only - they do not include the latency through the transceiver. The latency through the transceiver can be obtained from the relevant user guide. Transmit Path Latency As measured from the input port xgmii_txd[63:0] of the transmitter side XGM (until that data appears on mgt_txdata[63:0] on the transceiver interface), the latency through the core for the internal XGM interface configuration in the transmit direction is 3 clock periods of the core input usrclk for une Networks mode and 4 clock periods for Marvell mode. Receive Path Latency Measured from the input into the core on mgt_rxdata[63:0] until the data appears on xgmii_rxdata[63:0] of the receiver side XGM interface, the latency through the core in the receive direction for une Networks mode is equal to 5-7 clock cycles of usrclk. The latency depends on comma alignment position and data positioning within the transceiver 4-byte interface. For Marvell Mode, the exact latency depends on comma alignment position, lane skew, and elastic buffer occupancy. Typically this is 9-14 RXCLK cycles + 13-14 usrclk cycles. There is an additional 1 clock cycle of usrclk RX pipelining in the rxaui_block.v[hd] file if this is being used. LogiCORE RXAU v2.4 www.xilinx.com 11

Chapter 2: Product Specification Table 2-7: The SGNAL_ETECT signals are intended to be driven by an attached optical module; they signify that each of the two optical receivers is receiving illumination and is therefore not just putting out noise. f an optical module is not in use, this two-wire bus should be tied to 11. No timing diagrams are presented here for the device-specific transceiver signals. You should treat this interface as a black box. f customization of this interface is required, see the Virtex-6 FPGA GTX Transceivers User Guide [Ref 9], the 7 Series FPGAs GTX/GTH Transceivers User Guide [Ref 10], or the 7 Series FPGAs GTP Transceivers User Guide [Ref 11] for detailed descriptions of the transceiver ports. This section describes the interfaces available for dynamically setting the configuration and obtaining the status of the RXAU core. There are two interfaces for configuration; depending on the core customization, only one is available in a particular core instance. n addition, there are output ports on the core signalling alignment and synchronization status.

Chapter 3 esigning with the Core This chapter includes guidelines and additional information to facilitate designing with the core. General esign Guidelines This section describes the steps required to turn a RXAU core into a fully-functioning design with user-application logic. t is important to realize that not all implementations require all of the design steps listed in this chapter. Follow the logic design guidelines in this manual carefully. Use the Example esign as a Starting Point Each instance of the RXAU core is delivered with an example design that can be implemented in an FPGA and simulated. This design can be used as a starting point for your own design or can be used to sanity-check your application in the event of difficulty. See Chapter 6, etailed Example esign (Vivado esign Suite) and Chapter 9, etailed Example esign (SE esign Suite) for information about using and customizing the example designs for the RXAU core. Know the egree of ifficulty RXAU designs are challenging to implement in any technology, and the degree of difficulty is further influenced by: Maximum system clock frequency Targeted device architecture Nature of your application All RXAU implementations need careful attention to system performance requirements. Pipelining, logic mapping, placement constraints, and logic duplication are all methods that help boost system performance. LogiCORE RXAU v2.4 www.xilinx.com 55

Chapter 3: esigning with the Core Keep t Registered To simplify timing and increase system performance in an FPGA design, keep all inputs and outputs registered between your application and the core. This means that all inputs and outputs from your application should come from, or connect to a flip-flop. While registering signals might not be possible for all paths, it simplifies timing analysis and makes it easier for the Xilinx tools to place and route the design. Recognize Timing Critical Signals The UCF provided with the example design for the core identifies the critical signals and the timing constraints that should be applied. See Chapter 5, Constraining the Core (Vivado esign Suite or Chapter 9, etailed Example esign (SE esign Suite) for further information. Use Supported esign Flows Vivado esign Tools The core HL is added to the open Vivado project. Later the core is synthesized along with the rest of the project as part of project synthesis. SE esign Tools The core is synthesized in the CORE Generator tool and is delivered to you as an NGC netlist. The example implementation scripts provided currently use Xilinx Synthesis Technology (XST) as the synthesis tool for the HL example design that is delivered with the core. Other synthesis tools can be used for your application logic; the core is always unknown to the synthesis tool and appears as a black box. Post synthesis, only Xilinx SE esign Suite v14.3 tools are supported. Make Only Allowed Modifications The RXAU core is not user-modifiable. o not make modifications as they can have adverse effects on system timing and protocol compliance. Supported user configurations of the RXAU core can only be made by selecting the options from within the Vivado esign Suite or CORE Generator tool when the core is generated. See Chapter 4, Customizing and Generating the Core (Vivado esign Suite) or Chapter 7, Customizing and Generating the Core (SE esign Suite). LogiCORE RXAU v2.4 www.xilinx.com 56

Chapter 3: esigning with the Core Clocking The clocking schemes in this section are illustrative only and might require customization for a specific application. See Table 2-10 for information on the clock ports. Reference Clock The transceivers typically use a reference clock of 156.25 MHz to operate at a line rate of 6.25 Gb/s. Transceiver Placement Common to all schemes shown is that a single BUFS_GTXE1 (Virtex-6 FPGA) or BUFS_GTE2 (7 series FPGAs) is used to feed the reference clocks for all transceivers. n addition, timing requirements are more easily met if both transceivers are placed next to each other. For details about transceiver clock distribution, see the section on Clocking in the Virtex-6 FPGA GTX Transceivers User Guide [Ref 9], the 7 Series FPGAs GTX/GTH Transceivers User Guide [Ref 10] and the 7 Series FPGAs GTP Transceivers User Guide [Ref 11]. une Networks RXAU (7 Series FPGAs) The clocking scheme for 7 Series GTX transceivers is as shown in Figure 3-1. The transceiver primitives require a 156.25 MHz clock. The 156.25 MHz clock is used as the clock for the netlist part of the RXAU core and is typically also used for your logic. A dedicated clock is used by the transceivers. The example design uses a 50 MHz clock. Choosing a different frequency might allow sharing of clock resources.

Chapter 3: esigning with the Core X-Ref Target - Figure 3-8 Figure 3-8: Clock Scheme for Marvell RXAU: Virtex-6 LXT/SXT/HXT FPGAs Virtex-6 FPGA MMCM Restrictions GTX TXOUTCLK must drive the MMCM directly with no BUFG in the path. By default, in the wrapper, TXOUTCLK already drives the MMCM directly with no BUFG in the path. This means that the MMCM is restricted to the same region as the GTX transceiver and you must not add a BUFG to move the MMCM out of the region. Each GTX Quad spans an entire clocking region and there are two available MMCMs per clocking region; the MMCM used must be constrained to the same clock region otherwise a BUFG is automatically inserted. These locations can be determined using the Virtex-6 FPGA Packaging and Pinout Specifications [Ref 12]. Resets See Table 2-10 for information on the reset ports. All register resets within the RXAU core netlist are synchronous to the usrclk port. LogiCORE RXAU v2.4 www.xilinx.com 63

Chapter 3: esigning with the Core esign Considerations This section describes considerations that can apply in particular design cases. Multiple Core nstances To instantiate multiple cores, instantiate the RXAU block level component multiple times. The clocking resources can be shared between multiple instances. See the Virtex-6 FPGA GTX Transceivers User Guide [Ref 9] and the 7 Series FPGAs GTX/GTH Transceivers User Guide [Ref 10] for details on sharing the reference clock and any limitations. n Virtex-7 and Kintex-7 devices, the reference clock can be shared from a neighboring quad. Logic clocks cannot be shared between core instances with the supplied design. The USRCLKs on each core and quad of transceivers must be sourced from the TXOUTCLK port of that quad. Some modification of the example design is required to enable the GTXE2_COMMON to be shared between two instances of the RXAU core. Receiver Termination: Virtex-7 and Kintex-7 FPGAs See the 7 Series FPGAs GTX/GTH Transceivers User Guide [Ref 10] and the 7 Series FPGAs GTP Transceivers User Guide [Ref 11]. Receiver Termination: Virtex-6 FPGAs The receiver termination must be set correctly. The default setting is 2/3 VTTRX. See the Virtex-6 FPGA GTX Transceivers User Guide [Ref 9]. Protocol escription ata nterface: nternal nterfaces nternal 64-bit SR Client-side nterface The 64-bit single-data rate (SR) client-side interface is based upon the 32-bit XGM-like interface. The bus is demultiplexed from 32- bits wide to 64-bits wide on a single rising clock edge. This demultiplexing is done by extending the bus upwards so that there are now eight lanes of data numbered 0-7; the lanes are organized such that data appearing on lanes 4 7 is transmitted or received later in time than that in lanes 0-3. LogiCORE RXAU v2.4 www.xilinx.com 64

Chapter 3: esigning with the Core The mapping of lanes to data bits is shown in Table 3-1. The lane number is also the index of the control bit for that particular lane; for example, XGM_TXC[2] and XGM_TX[23:16] are the control and data bits respectively for lane 2. Table 3-1: efinitions of Control Characters Reference is regularly made to certain XGM control characters signifying Start, Terminate, Error and others. These control characters all have in common that the control line for that lane is 1 for the character and a certain data byte value. The relevant characters are defined in the EEE Std. 802.3-2008 and are reproduced in Table 3-2 for reference.

Alternatively the start of the data frame can be marked by the occurrence of a Start character in lane 0, with the data characters in lanes 1 to 7. LogiCORE RXAU v2.4 www.xilinx.com 65

Chapter 3: esigning with the Core When the frame is complete, it is completed by a Terminate character (the T in lane 1 of Figure 3-9).

These can be used to drive a 3-state buffer either in the FPGA SelectO interface buffer or in a separate device. The type_sel port is registered into the core at FPGA configuration and core hard reset; changes after that time are ignored by the core. Table 3-3 shows the mapping of the type_sel setting to the implemented register map. The prtad[4:0] port sets the port address of the core instance. Multiple instances of the same core can be supported on the same MO bus by setting the prtad[4:0] to a unique value for each instance; the RXAU core ignores transactions with the PRTA field set to a value other than that on its prtad[4:0] port.
