SGMII and Gb Ethernet PCS
Overview
The Lattice
SGMII
and
Gb Ethernet PCS
IP core implements the PCS functions of
both the
Cisco SGMII
and the
IEEE 802.3z (1000BaseX)
specifications. The PCS
mode is pin selectable. This IP core may be used in bridging applications and/or PHY
implementations.
The Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (SGMII) is a connection bus for Ethernet Media Access Controllers (MACs)
and Physical Layer Devices (PHYs) defined by Cisco Systems. It replaces the classic 22-wire GMII connection with a low pin
count, 4-pair, differential SGMII connection. The classic GMII interface defined in the IEEE802.3 specification is strictly for
Gigabit rate operation. However, the Cisco SGMII specification defines a method for operating 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps
MACs over the interface. Moreover, the Cisco SGMII specification is
comprised of more than just a bus interface definition; it defines a bridging function between SGMII and GMII buses.
These applications can be completely implemented in
LatticeECP3™, LatticeECP2M™ and LatticeSC™
Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices. As an example, Lattice has developed a reference design for a complete SGMII-
to-(G)MII bridge. This reference design is included with the SGMII and Gb Ethernet PCS IP Core package and is described
in detail in Appendix C.
The core can be instantiated, synthesized and simulated through
IPexpress™
software.

1. Performance and utilization data are generated targeting an LFE3-70EA-7FN484CES device using Lattice Diamond 1.1 and Synplify Pro
D-2010.03L-SP1 software. Performance may vary when using a different software version or targeting a different device density or
speed grade within the LatticeECP3 family.
2. The SGMII requires operation at 125 MHz, therefore a higher frequency is not stated. However this core can easily attain frequencies
above 140 MHz in a LatticeECP3 speed grade 7 device.
