Arasan Chip Systems, Inc. (“Arasan”), a leading provider of Total IP Solutions, introduced the 10/100 Ethernet MAC IP in 2006. The family now includes a complete spectrum of Ethernet MAC IP from “Fast” 10/100 Mbps to “XGMAC” 10Gbps, with options for IEEE 1588, and AVB.
Its flagship Ethernet IP, the 10 Gbps (XGMAC) IP core is compliant with the Ethernet IEEE 802.3-2012 standard and enhances system performance by enabling an AHB/AXI master and a 64-bit scatter-gather DMA transfer packets between the internal FIFOs and host memory. The XGMAC provides features such as transmit and receive message data encapsulation, framing, error code detection, dynamic FCS generation and calculation on frame by frame basis, automatic pad insertion and deletion to enforce minimum frame size requirements.
“We are excited about the market acceptance of our 10G Ethernet MAC IP core,” said Ramana Kalapatapu, Chief Architect, Arasan Chip Systems. “The XGMAC core supports full-duplex operation at 10Gbps and all standard features such MDIO/MDC PHY management, MIB, SNMP, RMON network management.”
As more and more enterprise and service providers look to standardize network based infrastructure, 10G Ethernet provides a cost-effective way to consolidate multiple networks onto the ubiquitous Ethernet platform while boosting network bandwidth. The higher bandwidth also enables enterprise wide virtualization, resulting in more efficient use of compute resources. Arasan’s 10G Ethernet MAC IP core can be used in diverse applications ranging from custom networking ASICs to data and traffic intensive enterprise-wide applications such as large corporate database access, and data backup and recovery operations.
