Flexibilis Redundant Switch - 3 to 8 Port Ethernet IP with HSR/PRP
Flexibilis Redundant Switch (FRS) is an IP core providing HSR/PRP functionality.
Overview
Flexibilis Redundant Switch (FRS) is an IP core providing HSR/PRP functionality. Thanks to its scalability, the single IP core can be used in both low- and high-end FPGA-based devices. FRS has been validated using methods such as hardware accelerated simulation to guarantee the quality of the IP. HSR is proven in use for applications in energy management (smart grid), industrial automation and transportation.
Key features
- Can be configured as a 3- to 8-port layer 2 Ethernet switch
- All ports are triple-speed (10 Mbit/s / 100 Mbit/s / 1 Gbit/s)
- Internal wire-speed forwarding capability (gigabit Full-Duplex at all the ports at the same time)
- Integral PTP support for applications where time synchronization is needed
- Includes transparent end-to-end clock between ring ports
- Peer-to-peer transparent clock possible with control software (e.g. XR7 PTP) running on an attached CPU
- Achieves nanosecond class accuracy in clock transfer when using Gigabit fiber Ethernet
Benefits
- Provides seamless redundant communication for critical traffic
- Open, interoperable solution supporting HSR, PRP and IEEE 1588 PTP standards
- Scalable IP core suitable for use in both low- and high-end devices
- Fast and easy integration for planned and existing FPGA-based devices

Ethernet Auto-Negotiation: Enabling Seamless Link Optimization
Ethernet has evolved significantly from 10 Mbps shared media to today’s multi-hundred gigabit high-speed links. One foundational feature that has enabled this scalability and ease of deployment is Auto-Negotiation (AN).
Enhancing Ethernet Security with MACsec
Ethernet was originally designed for high-speed data transfer and interoperability between devices. However, traditional Ethernet does not provide built-in mechanisms for securing data traffic, such as encryption or authenticity protection. This is where MACsec comes into the picture.
What Makes Ethernet IP Truly Automotive-Grade
This blog examines what separates truly automotive-grade Ethernet IP from generic implementations across functional safety, time-sensitive networking, security, observability, lifecycle management, and the integration disciplines that only become visible once a program is deep into development.
