Contact Provider Request Datasheet

Overview

The Giga MAC IP is an embedded Fast Ethernet controller module. It is compliant with IEEE 802.3 specification for 10/100Mbps Ethernet and the IEEE802.3ab specification for 1000Mbps Ethernet MAC. The integrated checksum offload engines enable the automatic generation TCP Level checksum for received and transmitted Ethernet Frame, support TCP segmentation and UDP fragment to offload the task from the CPU for Linux OS applications. By using a 32-bit CPU local bus and memory local bus, it provides a standard interface to the host CPU. The Ethernet Controller interfaces to the IEEE Std 802.3u MII interface as well as RMII interface, to the IEEE Std 802.3ab RGMII interface, and also support IEEE 802.3x full-duplex flow control.

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.
