SmartDV’s Ethernet Tri-Speed MAC IP is a silicon-proven, fully featured Media Access Controller solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring flexible, multi-speed Ethernet connectivity across networking, embedded, and industrial applications. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3-2022, it delivers complete MAC functionality across 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps operation with both full-duplex and half-duplex mode support, GMII and MII interfaces, and comprehensive statistics gathering for network diagnostics.
Designed for the practical integration requirements of modern multi-speed networking SoC designs, the IP supports programmable Inter Packet Gap and preamble length, IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, IEEE 802.1Q and 802.1ad VLAN tagging, Wake-on-LAN, control frame and jumbo frame handling, FCS generation and checking, and Pause frame-based flow control in full-duplex mode. Its transmit and receive FIFO interface architecture gives networking SoC teams a production-tested, spec-complete Tri-Speed MAC implementation suited for flexible port speed configuration across enterprise, industrial, and embedded networking designs.
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 parameterized speed mode architecture and clean host interface enable fast integration across a wide range of networking and embedded process nodes.
