Cadence completes Ethernet subsystem with controller IP
High speed Ethernet controller IP released by Cadence enables complete Ethernet subsystem solutions up to 800G. Optimised for power, performance and area (PPA), the low latency, high speed controller IP expands Cadence’s Ethernet controller IP portfolio and supports aggregated bandwidths for 100G, 200G, 400G and 800G Ethernet.
It also offers support for both single- and multi-Ethernet channel solutions and complies with IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet Technology Consortium specifications.
The IP provides full-featured media access control (MAC), physical coding sub-layer (PCS), forward error correction (FEC) and physical medium attachment (PMA) blocks, for a complete architecture, says Cadence.
The integrated RS(528,514), RS(544,514), Firecode and Ethernet Technology Consortium Low Latency RS FEC support allows customers to choose the best option for an application’s requirements.
“The exploding bandwidth demand from cloud, AI / ML and 5G has driven Ethernet protocols to evolve and has accelerated 800G market adoption,” said Rishi Chugh, vice president of product marketing, IP Group at Cadence. The company also supplies 112G / 56G and other Ethernet SerDes PHY IP for a sub-system with integrated PHY and controller that enable customers to integrate and streamline SoC designs.
Cadence has more than 30 years of computational software expertise. The company applies its underlying Intelligent System Design strategy to deliver software, hardware and IP. Cadence’s customers develop electronic products from chips to boards to systems for consumer, hyperscale computing, 5G communications, automotive, mobile, aerospace, industrial and healthcare.
