Overview
10G Unmanaged Ethernet Switch IP core (10G UES) is an evolution of our 1G Unmanaged Ethernet Switch IP Core (UES). The 10G UES implements a plug-and-play Ethernet switch for reconfigurable devices. It does not require external configuration and it has been designed to address the maximum throughput using the minimum resources.
The 10G Unmanaged switch IP implements a non-blocking crossbar matrix that allows wire-speed communication among all the ports. The IP Core buffers and verifies each frame before forwarding it. Nevertheless, the latency time has been minimized to nanoseconds order. Furthermore, the switch IP Core supports IEEE 1588 V2 Transparent Clock functionalities. This feature, corrects PTP frames introducing the error generated by the switch, allows the interconnection of IEEE 1588 synchronized devices maintaining the highest levels of accuracy.
10G Unmanaged Switch IP Core is the perfect Ethernet Switch IP to implement Ethernet based Industrial Networks. It provides MII/GMII/RGMII native interfaces for Ethernet PHY devices and it can be combined with Xilinx Ethernet 1G/2.5G BASE-X PCS/PMA, it can support RMII or SGMII among other interfaces. It also supports and AXI4-Stream interface to be connected to other IP Cores that do not feature MAC based interfaces.
10G Unmanaged Switch can be supported on the following Xilinx FPGA Families:
* 6-Series (Spartan, Virtex)
* 7-Series (Zynq, Spartan, Artix, Kintex, Virtex)
* Ultrascale (Kintex, Virtex)
* Ultrascale+ (Zynq MPSoC, Kintex, Virtex)

Crius uses SOC-E’s PreciseTimeBasic (PTB) IP core to implement the IEEE 1588 slave function, with a hardware timestamping unit inserted between the MAC and PHY layers so that PTP event messages are timestamped in logic rather than in software.
SOC-E had the privilege to be selected among a variety of other relevant companies to demonstrate the newest progress around deterministic ethernet in the context of the NGWS/FCAS Remote Carrier (pillar 3).
SOC-E and SafeCore Devices are preparing the launch of a new TSN End Point IP Core designed to bring deterministic Ethernet communications closer to the needs of next-generation Aerospace, Defence and Space systems.
For the Kronos 3R, NovaTech selected SOC-E solutions to implement two critical capabilities: IEEE 1588 PTP grandmaster functionality and IEC 62439-3 PRP Ethernet redundancy. Both are implemented directly in the FPGA programmable logic of the platform via the SOC-E SMARTzynq System-on-Module, built on the AMD Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC.
For DRAGO-3, the IAC selected a SOC-E solution to implement communication between the camera and external systems through SpaceWire, a standard widely used in space systems for high-speed onboard data links in satellites and spacecraft.
This agreement enables SOC-E to support its Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) solutions on Wind River’s VxWorks RTOS, reinforcing its commitment to delivering fully deterministic networking solutions.
