Ethernet Technology Summit, Booth #306 --
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a leader in global
electronic design innovation, today announced 40/100 Gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) media access controller (MAC) and physical coding
sub-layer (PCS) IP cores that enable the rapid deployment of SoCs
for networking and high-performance computing. With more than 50
tape-outs of Ethernet designs spanning from 1 GbE up to 40 GbE,
Cadence offers both the design IP and integration support required
to ensure silicon success. Cadence's Ethernet solutions include
unique capabilities in verification IP (VIP), emulation, virtual
prototyping and silicon-package-board co-design.
"For over a decade, Cadence has worked with the industry's
largest semiconductor companies to design leading Ethernet SoCs for
networking and high-performance computing applications, while also
helping drive the development of Ethernet standards," said Vishal
Kapoor, vice president, product marketing, SoC Realization at
Cadence. "As large scale data centers begin their transition to
40/100 GbE over the next three years, we want to empower our
customers with the tools they need to take advantage of the
anticipated rapid growth in the ultra high-speed Gigabit Ethernet
market."
The Dell'Oro Group forecasts robust growth in 40 Gigabit
Ethernet and 100 Gigabit Ethernet with the market for these
combined technologies expected to exceed $3B by 2016.
The Cadence 40/100 GbE MAC and PCS IP cores support the latest
version of the IEEE 802.3ba-2010 Ethernet specification and
sub-specifications including Energy Efficient Ethernet for power
savings during idle time. The IP includes a host of configurable
features such as Ethernet address match logic and frame- and
priority-based flow control mechanisms for application-based
customization of traffic control. In addition, a programmable
inter-frame gap feature enables precise packet flow control to
avoid equipment overload. Finally, the IP provides comprehensive
monitoring features including error/status word for each frame that
is transmitted and received; remote monitoring (RMON) and
management information base (MIB) support. The 40/100 GbE MAC IP
supports Gigabit media independent interfaces (XLGMII and CGMII)
for connection to the attached PHY layer device, whereas the 40/100
GbE PCS IP supports integration with four/ten 10 Gigabit
SerDes.
