The Low Latency Ethernet 10G/25G MAC developed by Missing Link Electronics in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute delivers cutting-edge Ethernet communication for FPGA-based systems. This MAC core provides low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity, essential for applications operating at speeds of 10 to 25 Gigabits per second.
Key attributes of the MAC include platform and device vendor independence, facilitating broad adaptability across different projects. It incorporates AXI4-Stream support on both transmit and receive interfaces, ensuring efficient data throughput with minimal latency, down to 19.2 nanoseconds at 156.25MHz for 64-bit operations. The design emphasizes resource efficiency, keeping usage minimal while supporting essential features such as VLAN tagging, CRC-32 integrity checks, and customizable frame length.
This technology caters to various applications requiring fast and reliable network communication, from video handling in multi-system setups to storage-intensive solutions. Customers benefit from reduced latency, pivotal in environments where rapid data exchange dictates system performance, positioning the MAC IP as a critical component for high-speed Ethernet solutions.
