Overview

Silicon agnostic implementation of the structure agnostic mapping method described in the IEEE 1914.3 standard

The Radio Over Ethernet Structure Agnostic Mapper/Demapper IP core is a silicon agnostic implementation of the structure agnostic mapping method described in the IEEE 1914.3 standard. The RoE IP core takes multiple streams of CPRI data and map these into one or several 10G/25G Ethernet data streams and vice versa. The RoE IP core does as well allow for local injection and retraction of Ethernet traffic.

The RoE IP core allows easy configuration for various synchronization methods and works with CPRI in both slave and master mode. The RoE IP core has been successfully tested in HW and at system level.

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.
