Overview
High-performance TCP and UDP IP offload engine cores offer a reliable, ultra-low-latency solution for financial and network applications. They address the data center industry’s growing need for throughput and hardware acceleration and provide network protocol offload for applications such as financial data processing, reprogrammable Smart NICs, and high-performance computing.
Three FPGA IP core versions are available through standard licensing options, including TCP/IP Offload Engine (ToE), UDP/IP Offload Engine, and a version supporting both TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols offload.
Easily integrated with innovative technologies such as our ultra-low-latency Ethernet MAC PCS and PCIe DMA controllers, these cores radically change the way we think about speed and efficiency.

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.
