SmartDV’s Ethernet 400G PCS (Physical Coding Sublayer) IP Core is engineered for ultra-fast, high-reliability data transmission in modern networking and hyperscale computing systems. Aligned with IEEE 802.3bs and 802.3ck specifications, it performs critical PCS functions including 64b/66b encoding/decoding, lane distribution and alignment, forward error correction (FEC), and deskew for 400 Gigabit Ethernet links.

Supporting multiple FEC modes such as RS-FEC (Reed-Solomon), the PCS core ensures robust error correction over high-speed serial lanes, making it suitable for PAM4-based interconnects and long-reach applications. It interfaces easily with 400G MAC and PMA/PHY layers via CDMII or similar high-speed interfaces.

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 scalable and modular design makes it ideal for use in carrier-grade switches, routers, and data center backbone networks.
