I am looking today at the different ways to connect a MAC with a PHY.
I found a lot of things, which I summarise here:

Protocol --- Eth. Speed --- Signale --- Clock speed
MII --- 10/100 --- 16 --- 2,5 / 25 MHz
RMII --- 10/100 --- 6 / 7 --- 5 / 50 MHz
SMII --- 10/100        --- 4 --- 125 MHz
GMII --- 10/100/1000 --- 27 --- 125 MHz
RGMII --- 10/100/1000 --- 12 --- 2,5 / 25 / 125 MHz
SGMII --- 10/100/1000 --- 4 diff.pairs --- 625 MHz (clk) / 1,25 GHz
(data)

Unfortunatly, I am missing infos about the Ten Bit Interfaces TBI and
RTBI. According to a paper from HP (http://www.hp.com/rnd/pdfs/
RGMIIv2_0_final_hp.pdf) page 3, it seems that there are just a few
differences between RTBI and RGMII. What about TBI and GMII?

I didn't found any specs fot TBI oder RTBI on the net. Does anyone
know more about them?

have a nice week-end :-)

The Ten Bit Interface is connected to SerDes (serialiser/deserialisers)
which transport data serially at 1.25G/s. As the data has been 8 bit to 10
bit encoded this is equivalent to a 1 Gbs throughput.

Two SerDes can be connected directly to each other or to opto-electronics
for fibre optic transmission.

You can find more information in Clause 36 of IEEE 802.3

Hi Marris!

I don't have access to the IEEE 802.3. If you know it, could you just
tell me how many single signals or differential pairs are needed for
TBI and RTBI and which clock frequency they require?

regards,
Francis
