Overview

The 400G High Speed Ethernet (400G HSEC) Subsystem provides the 400G Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) with a Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) including Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (RS-FEC) or a standalone 400GAUI-16 PCS/PMA with RS-FEC.                                                                 

The 400G Ethernet Subsystem is designed to the IEEE 802.3bs standard. Increased demand from mobile traffic and cloud computing is forcing next generation routers and switches to 400G and beyond.

Key features

  • Designed to IEEE 802.3bs standard
  • Includes complete Ethernet MAC and PCS/PMA functions (including RS-FEC), or standalone PCS/PMA (including RS-FEC)
  • LBUS packet-oriented user interface
  • Comprehensive statistics gathering
  • Status signals for all major functional indicators

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.
