3.6 Q/SGMII Board Design and Layout Guidelines

This section discusses guidelines when designing a system that includes serial Gigabit Ethernet. Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (SGMII) interfaces on the device are commonly used for communication with Ethernet PHY devices. Quad-Ethernet (QSGMII) is the combination of four Ethernet PHYs onto a single serial stream.
