Overview

The CetraC EndSystem IP coreis the ideal solution to link your Avionic Computer System to a safe & secure embedded network as ARINC664p7, TSN or Safe Ethernet.
It brings a high performance, low latency, safe and cyber-secure link between your software application and the ARINC664p7/Ethernet network.

The CetraC technology is fully compliant with ARINC664 Part 7 and Ethernet standards. It allows both cyclic and event-driven communications in full duplex. A 100% hardware solution with embedded ARINC664 Part 7 redundancy management feature to free more power to your CPU.

It uses a PCI, PCI Express or AXI backend interface to connect to a large portfolio of processors within a very short Time To Market.
By using our CetraC technology you get a safe and cyber secure link from your end user software application up to the network with the smaller footprint in the market.

The IEEE1588 PTPV2 protocol is also available at any port to synchronize the overall devices connected to the network. The CetraC EndSystem IP core acts as GrandMaster or simply distributes the clock to each connected equipment requiring a common clock.

Several IP core switches can be connected together through a 10Gbps optical fiber link to create any of the three kinds of flexible network architectures for critical systems:
• High speed redundant ring architecture (at up to 10Gbps)
• High speed hierarchical architecture (at up to 10Gbps)
• Mesh network by mixing the two previous architectures.

Key features

  • Ethernet/TSN/ARINC664P7 EndSystem with customizable number of ports up to 1 Gbps.
  • Support IEEE 1588 PTPV2 as GrandMaster or User

IO and multiprotocol processing in highly demanding embedded architectures

Low physical I/O protocols or device management have always been handled by a hardware device, simply because line survey or reaction to a bus change need very short reaction time. It would require a huge amount of processing power in order to be fast enough to comply with the bus management physical and timing requirements.

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.
