2.4.3 XGMII (TO Gigabit Media Independent Interface)
The XGMH provides the interface between the RS and the PHY layers. The XGMII is
divided into four lanes with each lane comprising 8 bits of data (TXD), 1 bit control
(TXC), and a common clock signal (TCLK) for all the lanes. The control line determines
if the information being sent is a special character or ordinary data. If TXC is 1, then the
information conveyed by the TXD line is a special character. If TXC is 0, then the
information conveyed by the TXD line is data. The XGMII has RXD, RXC, and RCLK
signals on the receive side similar to the TXD, TXC and TCLK signals on the transmit
side. Table 2.1 shows the Transmit and Receive Lane associations.
