FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CORE: Core module interconnects all the sub-modules in the ETHERNET 1G MAC IP. Ports of core module are the top level ports for the ETHERNET 1G MAC IP.

TX CTRL: Transmit Control block processes the data from system interface/AXI-interfaces and push the data into Transmit FIFO.

TX ASYNC FIFO: TX ASYNC FIFO module stores Transmitted data and process the data with the different read and write clock domain.

GMII/MII TX FSM: The TX FSM module receives the data from MAC client and maps them to the MAC 1G Interface by encapsulating the Ethernet packet and frame headers.

FLOW CTRL: Initiating the Transmission of pause frame based on the Receive FIFO's threshold or External requests.

PAUSE TIMER: Implements the Pause timer logic based on the Pause Quanta Value.

GMII/MII RX FSM: The Receive FSM receives the data from underlying physical layer and sends them to MAC client by decapsulating the Ethernet Packet headers.

RX ASYNC FIFO: RX ASYNC FIFO module stores Received data and process the data with the different read and write clock domain.

RX CTRL: Receive Control block processes the data from MAC 1G interface and push the data into RX ASYNC FIFO

MDIO: The MDIO Master serial interface is used to control the PHY registers with read and write frames.

CSR: CSR Module has all the configurable registers. The contents of the registers are decoded and assigned to its respective output ports based on its functionality.

Transmit Buffer: The Transmit Buffer handles the Packet transmission from PHY to EMAC.

Receive Buffer: The Receiver Buffer handles the Packet transmission from EMAC to PHY.

Back Pressure: This module handles the generation of pause frame request logic when the transmit buffer is having the less space to store the data which has been received by HSMAC
