The IntelliProp IPC-GZ196A-ZM Gen-Z Physical Layer for 802.3 is an IP Core that allows companies to attach a Gen-Z core to an 802.3 Phy. The IPC-GZ196A-ZM is compliant with the Gen-Z 1.1 Physical Layer Specification and provides support for multi-lane links, lane reversal, and link width reduction. The IPC-GZ196A-ZM IP Core is designed for integration into FPGA and ASIC developments to minimize development time and familiarization required to develop this IP independently. The IPC-GZ196A-ZM is fully verified in pseudo random simulation.
