Overview

Certus is pleased to offer Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) compliant IOs in advanced technology nodes. The Certus solutions support system-selectable 1.8V & 2.5V supplies, output enable, hysteresis receiver, and full interoperability with the feature-rich Certus General-Purpose IO libraries.

Built into our IO libraries, and also offered as a separate service, is our strong ESD expertise. Certus was founded by ESD engineers and our results speak for themselves. Not only do we consistently exceed the standard ESD targets of 2KV HBM and 500V CDM, but we also provide on-chip solutions for standards such as IEC-61000-4-2, system-level ESD and Cable Discharge Events (CDE).

Certus also offers SD, I2C, SMBUS, DDC, LVDS, Analog/RF, HV and numerous other IO variants across most major foundries and technology nodes. We are particularly suited at providing customized options in a cost-efficient framework. Please contact us for supplementary physical or electrical features that can suit your needs.

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.
