49.5.13.3.2 GbE Ethernet Interface — RGMII Mode
This section describes the GbE Ethernet reference clock transmit and receive timings
when operating in RGMII mode. RGMII works in source synchronous mode, where
transmission and receive are done with respect to TXCLK and RXCLK. In RGMII mode,
TXCLK and RXCLK run at 2.5/25/125MHz. In 2.5/25MHz mode, both transmit and
receive occurs on rising edges of the clock. At 125MHz, data transfer (both Tx and Rx)
occurs on both edges of the clock (same as DDR2).
The RGMII interface gets Rx clock from the PHY and Tx clock from the MAC. Both MAC
and PHY receive a 125MHz reference clock from the board. The RGMII outputs uses
2.5V drivers that are 3.3V tolerant. Figure 49-34 shows the GbE block diagram with the
signal connections in RGMII mode.
