Overview

Accelerated confidence in simulation-based verification of RTL designs with Ethernet networking interfaces

Avery TSN Ethernet Verification IP provides a complete simulation-based func tional verification solution for core-level and SoC-level verification, including MAC and PHY models, protocol checking, and optional compliance test suite based on UNH-IOL test specifications. Additional integration with ARM® Fast Model integration enables running the TSN IP’s software stack in one fully integrated testbench.

With the advanced capabilities of Avery VIP, engineers can work more efficiently, develop more complex tests and work on more complex topologies, such as bifurcation. Avery compliance test suites offer effective core through chip-level tests, including those used in compliance workshops as well as extended tests developed by Avery to cover the specification features.

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.
