Overview

Fast, customizable data transfer supported by expert engineering and design services to optimize the performance of your product.

User Datagram Protocol (UDP/IP) is a communications protocol used for establishing connections between applications on the Internet. The UDP Protocol is a transport layer that runs on top of the Internet Protocol (IP) Layer and is used for connections where high sustained throughput  is a priority and some data loss is expected, such as with video and audio streaming. Chevin Technology’s 10G /25G/40G/100G UDP Ethernet IP core for FPGAs  has low latency and bandwidth overhead, as it sends packets of data without confirming receipt. De-fragmentation is available as an option, so large UDP datagrams can be easily sent and received. The UDP IP core provides individual port numbers to differentiate between user requests, and receipt of data is verified using the checksum functionality.

The 10G /25G/40G/100G UDP Ethernet IP core is configurable for Intel & AMD Xilinx FPGAs and simplifies integration by handling the complete Ethernet frame assembly.

The UDP IP core is a mature IP core with proven success in customers’ projects. Reference designs are available for various boards to assist with integration and we offer our customers bespoke, expert engineering support packages to help meet their project goals.

A simple AXI4 streaming interface is all that is required to start sending and receiving UDP datagrams, and only the user data payload is exchanged between the application and the UDP core. For a single port application the port number can be set to a constant, hard coded or software configurable. A multi-port application is supported by a single UDP IP core by using the TDEST sideband embedded in the streaming interface.

Benefits

  • Chevin Technology’s 10/25/40/100G UDP Ethernet IP is FPGA Synthesisable EndPoint with Checksum Offload for ultra low-latency connectivity.
  • The 10/25/40/100G UDP IP cores simplify FPGA integration of an ultra fast UDP/IP layer in any FPGA by handling the complete Ethernet frame assembly.
  • A simple AXI4 streaming interface is all that is required to start sending and receiving UDP datagrams, and only the “user data” payload is exchanged between the application and the UDP block. For a single port application the port number can be set to a constant, hard coded or software configurable. A multi- port application is supported by a single UDP IP core by using the udp port sideband embedded in the streaming interface.

Chevin Technology delivers high performance, configurable Ethernet IP Cores for Intel and AMD Xilinx FPGAs. Our goal is to provide reliable, hardware accelerator capabilities for high end FPGAs that are cost effective and straightforward to implement into client’s projects, using a minimum of FPGA resources. Our Ethernet IP cores are developed and comprehensively tested in-house, so we can offer valuable, expert knowledge and responsive engineering support to smooth the path for successful integration into client products. Chevin Technology’s IP Cores achieve high throughput and sustained data rates to maximise link utilization. The compact, ‘all logic’ architecture requires no CPU/SW, therefore reducing complexity, latency and energy consumption, while leaving maximum space for further design logic on customer FPGAs. Chevin Technology’s Ethernet IP Cores also feature our patented Silicon Software Solution, which provides further design flexibility and cost efficiency, as clients have the option of adding extra features as required throughout the design cycle. Client projects include international defence; medical research, scientific research, industrial imaging, data storage.

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.
