Ethernet 50G MAC
Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s Ethernet 50G MAC IP Core is a high-performance and feature-rich solution designed for modern networking, cloud computing, and edge infrastructure. Supporting IEEE 802.3by and 802.3cd standards, it delivers efficient full-duplex Ethernet communication at 50 Gigabits per second, with support for features such as VLAN tagging, priority-based flow control (PFC), jumbo frame handling, and checksum insertion/verification.

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. With a modular architecture and standard PHY interface compatibility, including XGMII and CGMII, the 50G MAC IP can be easily integrated into diverse Ethernet systems requiring low latency and robust performance.
