Xilinx Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC Offerings and Software Requirements

Hardware Evaluation Time Out Period * : ~ 1-8 hrs

Soft TEMAC Cores Software Requirements Table

Xilinx offers the following Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC solutions:

  • Soft TEMAC Cores (licensed separately)
  • Hard TEMAC Blocks

The Xilinx® Soft Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC cores must be licensed separately under either a Project or Site License.

  • Use the soft Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC cores:
    • When targeting 7 Series devices, or
    • When targeting Spartan® family devices, or
    • To add additional TEMAC blocks to designs which require more TEMACs than what is available as hard blocks on some Xilinx FPGA family devices.

Download the required software from the Xilinx.com Downloads page. For information on New Features, Known Issues, and Patches please refer to the Licensing Solution Center.

* A Hardware Evaluation license for any of the IP cores above will enable you to parameterize, generate and instantiate these cores in your design. You will also be able to perform functional and timing simulation and generate a bitstream that you can use to download and configure your design in hardware.

The IP cores in this table will be fully functional in the programmed device for certain amount of time. After this time, the IP will "time out" (cease to function) and you will need to download and configure the FPGA again.
