Flexibilis Redundant Switch - 3 to 8 Port Ethernet IP with HSR/PRP

Flexibilis Redundant Switch (FRS) is an IP core providing HSR/PRP functionality.

Overview

Flexibilis Redundant Switch (FRS) is an IP core providing HSR/PRP functionality. Thanks to its scalability, the single IP core can be used in both low- and high-end FPGA-based devices. FRS has been validated using methods such as hardware accelerated simulation to guarantee the quality of the IP. HSR is proven in use for applications in energy management (smart grid), industrial automation and transportation.

Key features

  • Can be configured as a 3- to 8-port layer 2 Ethernet switch
  • All ports are triple-speed (10 Mbit/s / 100 Mbit/s / 1 Gbit/s)
  • Internal wire-speed forwarding capability (gigabit Full-Duplex at all the ports at the same time)
  • Integral PTP support for applications where time synchronization is needed
  • Includes transparent end-to-end clock between ring ports
  • Peer-to-peer transparent clock possible with control software (e.g. XR7 PTP) running on an attached CPU
  • Achieves nanosecond class accuracy in clock transfer when using Gigabit fiber Ethernet

Benefits

  • Provides seamless redundant communication for critical traffic
  • Open, interoperable solution supporting HSR, PRP and IEEE 1588 PTP standards
  • Scalable IP core suitable for use in both low- and high-end devices
  • Fast and easy integration for planned and existing FPGA-based devices

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.
