Overview

 A combined silicon agnostic implementation of the PCS layer compliant with Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3-2018 and CPRI Specification V7.0 based solution

The vendor offers a PCS IP core that can be used for both Ethernet and CPRI. The PCS Ethernet and CPRI IP core is a silicon agnostic implementation of the PCS layer compliant with Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3-2018 and CPRI Specification V7.0.

The IP-core supports 1G, 2.5G, 5G, 10G, and 25G Ethernet data rates as well as CPRI data rate option 1 (614.14M) to option 10 (24.33024G).

The PCS Ethernet and CPRI IP core can be dynamically configured to enable either 8b10b or 64b66b encoding/decoding.

In order to ensure easy integration, built-in test capabilities are provided in the core. The IP core has been optimized for size and is a highly tested solution that will fast-track any project.

How a 16Gbps Multi-link, Multi-protocol SerDes PHY Can Transform Datacenter Connectivity

Increasingly, more of the focus on mobile has centered around cloud datacenters and the networking to get the data back and forth between these datacenters and the mobile device. Functions like voice recognition and mapping depend on the ability to split the functionality between the smartphone, for local processing like encryption and compression, and the back end, where a large number of servers can do the heavier lifting before returning the results.

One PHY, Zero Tradeoffs: Multi-Protocol PHY for Edge AI Interface Consolidation

The Cadence 10G multi-protocol PHY was architected to address this exact challenge. Designed to scale across multiple process nodes, it consolidates PCI Express (PCIe), USB, DisplayPort, Ethernet, and other interfaces into a single, compact, silicon-efficient block. What sets it apart is simultaneous multi-protocol support, which enables multiple data paths without duplicating hardware, requiring extra board connectors, or paying the area and power penalty of separate IP blocks.
