6 years agoHi,
I suggest you refer to below TSE IP user guide doc (page 26, table 19) to learn more about the IP setting and supported configuration.
- https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_ethernet.pdf
- You can see there are option to configure the TSE IP to either MAC only or PCS + PMA only or MAC + PCS + PMA.
- Typically user select either MAC or PHY only is due to they want to connect the IP to their own MAC or PHY but since you are using both MAC and PHY from TSE IP, not sure why you want to split them into 2 TSE IP instead.
Anyway, below is AN647 application note where you can learn more about TSE example design usage and connection for your reference.
Thanks.
