Ethernet 40G TSN MAC
Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s Ethernet 40G TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) MAC IP Core provides deterministic and time-aware Ethernet communication for real-time and safety-critical applications. It is ideal for industrial automation, automotive networks, and professional audio/video transport, combining 40G Ethernet throughput with IEEE 802.1 TSN functionality.

The IP core supports TSN features such as time-aware scheduling (IEEE 802.1Qbv), frame preemption (IEEE 802.1Qbu/802.3br), and time synchronization (IEEE 802.1AS), along with traffic shaping, VLAN tagging, and ingress policing. It enables precise control over traffic timing and delivery in complex, latency-sensitive systems.

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. It integrates easily with standard interfaces such as XLGMII, allowing for fast deployment in real-time Ethernet applications.
