The Arasan Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller IP is compliant with the Ethernet IEEE 802.3-
2008 standard. The Gigabit Ethernet IP provides a 10/100 Mbps Media Independent Interface (MII)
and a 1000 Mbps Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII). It also supports optional Reduced
MII (RGMII), and Serial GMII (SGMII). The Gigabit Ethernet IP also implements Hardware assisted
1588 Protocol for Timestamping the Receive and Transmit PTP Packets. The Gigabit Ethernet IP is
designed for SoC and mobile applications such as integrated networking devices, PCI-Express
Ethernet controllers, and Ethernet adapter cards. The Gigabit Ethernet IP supports half-duplex
mode at 10/100 Mbps and full- duplex mode at 10/100/1000 Mbps.
