Ethernet Controller - Configurable MAC solutions for speeds from 10Gbps to 10Mbps

Overview

Key Features

• High-performance DMA with advanced AXI offloading capabilities and descriptor caching, QoS, and IEEE1588
• Time-Sensitive Networking/Audio-Video Bridging (TSN/AVB) functionality enables unified Ethernet communication of critical data without traffic congestion in shared networks
• IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), VLAN, TCP/IP offload, and remote network monitoring (RMON)
• Multiple client interfaces: AXI, AHB, with optional DMA support
• MII, RMII, GMII, RGMII, USXGMII, and SGMII interface support
• Enhanced active functional safety features

Benefits

• Designed for Performance: High-performance, highly featured DMA engine makes optimal use of pipelining capabilities of AXI system fabric to maintain highest line rates even in the presence of high system latencies
• Standards Compliant: Compliant with IEEE 802.3 Standard, UNH tested, and ISO 26262 ASIL-B qualified
• Designed by an Industry Leader: Cadence is an active contributor to the IEEE 802.3 standards working groups
• Automotive Ready: Infotainment, digital cockpit, driver monitoring system, and ADAS applications are driving the need for high bandwidth in-vehicle networking solutions in automotive. The Cadence Controller for Automotive Ethernet is the ideal technology to address these requirements
