Simple to use, a light version of the 10Gb Ethernet MAC chip, perfect for chip-to-chip or backplane communications. Features In/Out of Band backpressure, packet counters, IPG insertion w/ deficit idle counter, undersize/oversize/error packet handling, and similar features you'd expect in such an implementation. The small size (11 kLE's, 9 M9K memory blocks) allows you to save resources for other critical functions.
