1. About the 1G/2.5G/5G/10G Multi-rate Ethernet PHY Intel® FPGA IP Core

Updated for:
Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Suite 19.1
The 1G/2.5G/5G/10G Multi-rate Ethernet PHY Intel® FPGA IP core for Intel® Stratix® 10 devices (L- and H-tiles) implements the Ethernet protocol as defined in the IEEE 802.3 2005 Standard. It consists of a physical coding sublayer (PCS) function and an embedded physical media attachment (PMA). You can dynamically switch the PHY operating speed.
Note: Intel® FPGAs implement and support the required Media Access Control (MAC), PHY (PCS + PMA) IP to interface in a chip-to-chip or chip-to-module channel with external MGBASE-T and NBASE-T PHY standard devices. You are required to use an external PHY device to drive any copper media.
