Overview

Silicon agnostic Ethernet MAC IP for lower speeds from 10M to 2.5G 

Ethernet MAC 10M/100M/1G/2.5G IP is a solution that enables the host to communicate data using the IEEE 802.3 standard for 10M, 100M, 1G, 2.5G speeds and is suited for use in networking equipment such as switches and routers. The Client-side interface for the IP is AXI-S and the Ethernet MAC IP comes with GMII, RGMII or MII interfaces on the PHY side.

The Ethernet MAC 10M/100M/1G/2.5G IP features a compact and low latency solution, it is highly configurable and can optionally include IEEE 1588 Timestamping Unit (TSU). The Silicon agnostic Ethernet MAC IP, suitable for ASICs and FPGAs, is prepared for easy integration with Ethernet PCS 10M/ 100M/1G/2.5G IP.

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.
