HiGig™ MAC
Overview
The
HiGig™ MAC
transmits and receives data between a host processor and a HiGig™ / Ethernet
network that enables networking customers to add features like quality of service (QoS), port trunking,
mirroring across devices, and link aggregation at higher layers of the OSI network model. The HiGig™
MAC ensures that the Media Access rules specified in the 802.3ae IEEE standard and HiGig™ Protocol
definitions are met while transmitting a frame of data over Ethernet. On the receive side, it extracts the
different components of a frame and transfers them to higher applications through a FIFO interface.
The
HiGig™ / Ethernet MAC IP core
is a user-configurable IP core, which allows the configuration of the IP and generation of a netlist and
simulation file for use in designs. Please note that generating a bitstream may be prevented or the bitstream may have time logic present
unless a license for the IP is purchased. The HiGig™ MAC IP core from Lattice supports the
LatticeECP3
and
LatticeSC/M
FPGA families.
Features
Compliant to the Broadcom HiGig and HiGig2 Protocol Definitions
64-bit wide internal data path operating at a maximum frequency of
187.5 MHz (LatticeECP3 maximum 156 MHz)
XGMII interface to the PHY layer (using IODDR external to the core)
XAUI interface to the PHY layer (using PCS/SERDES external to the core)
Simple FIFO interface with user’s application
Optional multicast address filtering
Transmit and receive statistics vector
Optional statistics counters of length from 16 to 40 (external to the core)
Variable-sized packet transmission with fixed sized messaging capability
(HiGig2 Only)
Programmable Inter Frame Gap
Supports:
Full duplex operation
Flow control using PAUSE frames (for HiGig) and messaging (for
HiGig2)
Automatic padding of short frames
Optional FCS generation during transmission
Optional FCS stripping during reception
Jumbo frames up to 16k
Inter frame Stretch Mode during transmission
Deficit Idle Count

1. Performance and utilization data are generated using an LFE3-35EA-7FN672CES device with Lattice Diamond 1.1 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 HiGig Ethernet MAC IP 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 LatticeECP3 series FPGA. Thus the application implementing the HiGig MAC specification will utilize I/O pins.

Evaluate/Purchase:
Unlike other LatticeCORE IP, the HiGig™ MAC IP core cannot be directly downloaded from the Lattice IPexpress Server.
Please request this IP from Lattice at
lic_admn@latticesemi.com
and include your name, company, and complete contact information. A
setup file for installation of the IP into IPexpress will be sent to you. Execute the setup file and then use IPexpress to evaluate and configure
the IP core. For more information on customizing an IP please read the
IPexpress Quick Start Guide.
Purchase:
To find out how to purchase the IP Core, please contact your
local Lattice Sales Office.
