The Ethernet MAC block is integrated into the FPGA as a hard block in Virtex-5 devices. The Ethernet MAC is available in the Xilinx design environment as a library primitive, named TEMAC. The ...
Doing so, however, limits the performance of a system. Today's DSP-oriented FPGAs such as Xilinx Virtex 4 and Altera Stratix II provide far greater performance than a floating-point DSP processor for ...
