Ethernet

Although Ethernet is known as a networking and system-to-system protocol, it has been adapted to other applications, including the backplane. Ethernet is a popular protocol choice in FPGAs because of its flexibility, reliability, and performance.

Why use the Adaptive Computing solutions for Ethernet?

Whether you are designing low cost 10/100 Mbps Ethernet applications with Spartan™ 6 FPGAs or 400G Ethernet applications with Virtex™ UltraScale+™ or Versal™ FPGAs, AMD has an Ethernet solution for you.

Implemented in 7-nm technology, the Versal ACAP device incorporates an integrated dynamically switchable 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G and 100G multrate Ethernet Subsystem (MRMAC) and a 100G, 200G, and 400G channelized multirate Ethernet Subsystem (DCMAC). These two IP blocks also support IEEE and consortium FECs for PAM-4 and NRZ applications as well 1588 hardware timestamping. In additional, these blocks allow for configurations such as FEC only, PCS only, and MAC only modes.

Benefits of Versal Devices Integrated 100G Multirate Ethernet MAC Subsystem

  • Reduce design and verification effort
  • Reduces power
  • 100G Multirate Ethernet MAC Subsystem saves equivalent logic density of a UltraScale+ VU3P
  • 600G Multirate Ethernet MAC Subsystem saves equivalent logic density of a UltraScale+ VU9P
  • No charge
