Ethernet 200G MAC IP
Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s Ethernet 200G MAC IP Core is engineered to meet the increasing data throughput demands of next-generation networking, cloud computing, and AI/ML infrastructure. Supporting full-duplex 200Gbps line rates, this IP core is ideal for high-bandwidth, low-latency environments where performance and reliability are critical.

Compliant with IEEE 802.3bs and other relevant Ethernet standards, the IP core offers advanced features such as jumbo frame support, frame filtering, VLAN tagging, statistics counters, and error checking. It supports interoperability with a wide range of PHY devices and Ethernet configurations, making it a highly versatile solution for evolving system architectures.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. Its robust architecture and ease of integration make it a strong fit for data center, telecom, and high-performance networking applications.
