Overview

The Cadence® Verification IP (VIP) for Ethernet 5G Networking provides a mature, highly capable compliance verification solution for the 5G network protocol stack incorporating bus functional model (BFM) and integrated protocol checkers and coverage. The VIP for Ethernet 5G Networking is designed for easy integration in test benches at IP, system-on-chip (SoC), and system levels, helping to reduce time to test, accelerate verification closure, and ensure end-product quality. Th VIP for Ethernet 5G Networking is compatible with the industry-standard Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) and runs on all leading simulators.

5G Networking is a family of protocols primarily of the data link layer and a couple of layers above it in the OSI Communication model, which defines the behavior of communication in low-latency systems such as automotive, industrial automation, and professional audio/video devices. These networks are usually designed to work over a framework of Ethernet MAC and PHY layers.

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.

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.
