Silicon agnostic Ethernet TSN MAC IP with speeds of 40G and 100G, based IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Layer 2 solution with support for key TSN features
The TSN MAC 40G/100G provides a complete IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Layer 2 solution with support for key TSN features including 802.1Qbu Pre-emption and 802.3br Interspersing Express Traffic. This enables the use of the MAC in high-speed time-critical applications. The MAC-core performs the Link function of the 40G/100G Ethernet Standard and is a low latency cut-through implementation, while keeping size at a minimum.
The core is fully configurable, interfaces easily to standard 40G/100G PCS due to its CGMII interface and can optionally include IEEE 1588 Timestamping Unit (TSU). The Ethernet MAC Core, on the Client side, implements a 256-bit AXI-Stream interface for Express and Preemptable traffic respectively while having a standard 256-bit CGMII interface on the PHY side.
