TLK2711 Interface to GMII MAC

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLK2711-SP

Hi,

I am planning to use the TLK2711-SP as a 1000BASE-T PHY interfaced to a Xilinx Rad Hard V5 device with an embedded GMII MAC core.  GMII is an 8-bit data interface, while the TLK2711-SP datasheet shows a 16-bit data interface.  Does the TLK2711-SP support the 8-bit GMII MAC interface?  Are there any reference designs available showing this interface?

Kindly,

Denise

  • Denise, the TLK2711 does not interface with GMII.

    The 2711 is intended to be used as point to point link with flexible protocol.

    Please see application note that explains this a little better.
