The Flexibilis Ethernet Switch (FES) is an advanced Layer 2 Ethernet switch IP tailored for high data throughput and time-sensitive applications. It features a multi-gigabit forwarding engine that can handle 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds across its ports. Designed for integration into FPGA environments, FES serves exceptionally well in scenarios demanding dynamic traffic management and precise time synchronization.
FES supports advanced clock synchronization via the IEEE 1588 protocol, ensuring sub-microsecond accuracy, making it suitable for high-precision applications in sectors like power utilities and telecommunications. The switch combines this with packet prioritization and VLAN tagging functionalities, allowing for efficient network traffic segmentation and Quality of Service (QoS) management.
The switch's versatile design includes support for various physical interfaces, such as MII/GMII and optional SGMII/RGMII adapters, making it suitable for deployment in varied network setups. FES offers a robust framework for developing comprehensive network solutions that require high availability and precise timing control, addressing the complex needs of modern industrial and utility applications.
