Overview

Silicon-Agnostic, Compact and Highly flexible Ethernet Switch IPs

Unmanaged Ethernet Switch IP cores are a family of Ethernet switching IPs that provide a variety of port configurations, including 1G, 1G/10G, 10G, and 10G/25G options. The unmanaged Ethernet switch IP cores family is a size-optimized implementation of non-blocking crossbar switches designed to support wire-speed packet processing and forwarding.

The unmanaged Ethernet switch IP cores family features FCS validation/recalculation, MAC learning/forwarding/ageing and VLAN tagging including implementing a store-and-forward switching architecture.

The number of ports is configurable at compile time, making the unmanaged Ethernet switch IP cores solution highly flexible and the solutions from Comcores are silicon-agnostic, making them suitable for implementation in any ASIC, FPGA, or ASSP technology.

Three Ethernet Design Challenges in Industrial Automation

As factories, process plants, and robotics platforms become increasingly intelligent and interconnected, the demand for stable, low-latency data links has pushed Ethernet deeper into embedded systems. However, since designing Ethernet connectivity into industrial chips comes with its technical and logistical hurdles, engineers may face challenges when implementing Ethernet in industrial designs.

Powering Scale Up and Scale Out with 224G SerDes for UALink and Ultra Ethernet

At the recent ECOC 2025 conference in Copenhagen, Cadence showcased its key role in enabling the future of AI infrastructure with live silicon demonstrations of several essential IP technologies for emerging 800G and 1.6T networks. Powered by Cadence's 224G SerDes IP, Cadence's Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink 1.0) scale-up and Ultra Ethernet scale-out networking solutions deliver the performance, flexibility, and interoperability needed for next-generation AI factories and hyperscale data centers.

Ultra Ethernet Security: Protecting AI/HPC at Scale

As artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (AI/HPC) reshape industries, the need for robust, scalable, and secure connectivity has never been greater. Built from tightly integrated CPUs, GPUs, and SmartNICs, today’s compute clusters demand high-throughput, low-latency networks that can scale from die-to-die to multi-rack deployments.
