Starting from EUR 7'700 / USD 8'200 / CHF 8'600

Overview

Enclustra's UDP/IP Ethernet IP core is optimized for Intel (Altera) and Xilinx FPGAs and easily enables FPGA-based subsystems to communicate with other subsystems via Ethernet, using the UDP protocol. The IP core is highly configurable and optimally implemented for the use in current Intel® and Xilinx® FPGA architectures. It provides a simple to use interface to the user logic, and supports the common media independent interfaces MII, RMII, GMII and RGMII. With its 8-bit wide transmit and receive interfaces running at 125 MHz, the IP core is able to operate at full 1 Gbit/sec wire speed. 100 Mbit/sec and 10 Mbit/sec operation is also supported.

 

Highlights

  • Operates at full 1Gbit/sec wire speed
  • Complete UDP, IPv4 and Ethernet layer processing
  • Automatic ARP reply generation
  • Header pass-through mode:
    • Selectively override default UDP/IP/ETH header field values with values embedded in the transmit data stream
    • Selectively embed UDP/IP/ETH header field values in the receive data stream for easy delivery to the user application
