Overview

NetTimeLogic’s Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) Node is a full hardware (FPGA) only implementation of an ESMC frame Handler and State selector. The whole ESMC frame sending and receiving & decoding as well as State selection according to the selected option mode are implemented in the core, no CPU is required. This allows running SyncE synchronization completely independent and standalone from the user application. The core can be configured either by signals or by an AXI4Lite-Slave Register interface.

All calculations and corrections are implemented completely in HW.

Key features

  • Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) Node
  • Supports ESMC and Enhanced ESMC Message according to ITU-T G8264
  • Automatic selection of State according to SSM codes for SyncE option 1 or 2 networks and QL values as defined in ITU-T G.781
  • Manual State override mode
  • AXI4Lite register set or static configuration
  • Clock Mux Module
  • PPS Generator Module
  • Tx Clock Generator Module

NetTimeLogic offers full time synchronization, network redundancy, and time sensitive networking solutions as vendor independent FPGA IP cores and design services in these fields. We provide full hardware implementations of synchronization IP cores such as PTP-Transparent-, Ordinary-, Grandmaster- or Hybrid-Clocks as well as IRIG-, PPS-, NMEA-Masters and Slaves, a NTP Server and Client and a RTC-Master and a DCF-Slave. For network redundancy we provide a full hardware implementation of the HSR and PRP protocols and for time sensitive networking we provide also a full hardware implementation of TSN suporting all major standards. All IP cores can be combined to a complete synchronization or network redundancy solution which can act e.g. as bridge between the different times synchronization protocols or as a network redundancy solution with time synchronization support. We also offer design services in the field of FPGA and Embedded Software development. With our 20+ years of experience and certification in FPGA and software development as well as product and project management we bring in our expertise to design the best possible solution for you. We understand your needs and can give you support to develop a best in class product. We offer swiss quality engineering - highest quality, always on time!

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.
