1G Ethernet Switch IP Core

Ultra compact Ethernet Switch designed for easy use, targets applications requiring low size and a versatile solution

The 1G Ethernet Switch IP is a switching core that is a highly configurable and size-optimized implementation of a non-blocking crossbar switch that allows continuous transfers between up to 16 ports Ethernet ports via 1 Gbps GMII interfaces.

The 1G Ethernet switching IP supports MAC learning and implements a store-and-forward switching approach to fulfill Ethernet standard policy regarding frame integrity checking.

The 1G Ethernet switching IP supports up to 16 ports, where each port provides GMII native interface for Ethernet PHY devices. The number of ports 2-16 is configurable at compile time. Comcores 1G Ethernet Switch IP core is a silicon agnostic implementation targeting both ASICs and FPGAs.
