SmartDV’s AFDX 1G MAC IP is a silicon-proven, deterministic Ethernet MAC solution purpose-built for safety-critical avionics and aerospace SoC applications. Fully compliant with ARINC 664 Part 7 and IEEE 802.3-2018, it delivers ultra-low latency, high-integrity data transfer across Aircraft Data Networks (ADN) at speeds up to 1 Gbps. Designed as the MAC layer foundation for next-generation avionics systems, it provides the determinism, reliability, and bandwidth control that safety-critical airborne applications demand.
What sets this IP apart is its comprehensive TSN feature set combined with AFDX-specific capabilities. With support for Virtual Link traffic shaping, frame replication and elimination, traffic scheduling, and class-based flow control, it gives avionics SoC teams everything needed to build a fully standards-compliant AFDX end system without compromise. Its in-house UNH compliance testing further validates its readiness for demanding aerospace certification environments.
Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations, with a strong focus on area optimization, power management, and peak performance. Its fully synthesizable, static synchronous design with scan test readiness enables confident integration and streamlined bring-up across a wide range of process nodes and target applications.
