25GE/10GE MAC/RS

The Precise-ITC 25GMAC/RS IP core is an excellent solution to the 25G or 10G Ethernet application. It supports both the MAC and RS layer functions based on IEEE 802.3by (DRAFT-3.0).

The 25GMAC is compliant with IEEE 802.3-2012 and 802.3by.  It supports the MAC function, MAC control function with PAUSE frame and the RS function according to Clause 2-4, 31, Annex 31A/B, and Clause 80-81, TBD of the IEEE 802.3-2012 and 802.3by DRAFT-3.0. The 25GMAC core can be used in a switch, interface card, or can operate as a performance monitor (collecting MAC/RS statistics). For a complete Ethernet application, the 25GMAC seamlessly integrates with the Precise-ITC 25G/10G PCS/PMA cores.
