SmartDV’s Ethernet 40G PCS (Physical Coding Sublayer) IP Core delivers the essential link-layer processing required for 40 Gigabit Ethernet systems. Based on IEEE 802.3ba specifications, it includes 64b/66b encoding and decoding, block synchronization, lane alignment, and support for forward error correction (FEC) when used with external FEC logic.

The core supports scalable integration into multi-lane systems and connects seamlessly with 40G MAC and PHY layers through XLGMII or similar interfaces. Its efficient architecture ensures reliable high-speed data transfer with low latency and high signal integrity.

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 compact and modular design enables quick deployment in various high-bandwidth networking solutions.
