Generations of Ethernet in One Chip

Ethernet is everywhere. AMD FPGAs and adaptive SoCs provide the ability to scale Ethernet with baud rates from 10M to 112G PAM4 and beyond. Whether on the edge supporting a client that is growing from a single 10M port to 1G or 10G, or in the core scaling from 100G to 800G to high FlexE rates, AMD provides a solution.

Evolving Specifications; Hardware that Enables

As new specifications emerge, AMD enables the fastest time-to-market solutions. Integrated programmable logic enables new protocols and services leveraging best-in-class hard IP and high-speed SerDes.

Throughout the 10+ year life cycle of communications systems, protocols continually evolve, and AMD keeps pace. AMD enables the widest variety of serial protocols with a combination of world-class transceiver technology, highly flexible integrated IP, and the programmable logic to leverage both.

Timing

Speed is no longer the only metric that matters. Networks now rely on accurate timing information, lowest latency, and responsiveness to a wide variety of network traffic. AMD solutions provide:

• High-precision 1588 timing accuracy
• World-class round-trip transceiver latency
• Timing solutions to enable next generation 5G networks and beyond

Integral to the Internet

Transport networks (OTN and IP) provide the backbone of the internet, and AMD is an integral part of that infrastructure. The reason for our ongoing presence is adaptability: flexible use of integrated IP, high speed transceiver configurability, and high-performance programmable logic.

Integrated IP for Enhanced Payload Termination

AMD integrated IP provides lower power, higher performance and easier to implement features for the most challenging functionality. Systems often require terminating client or line side FEC or, increasingly, varying levels of encryption. Versal offers integrated solutions for both of these features: reusable FEC in a variety of integrated Ethernet and Interlaken IP and independent High Speed Crypto (HSC) blocks for implementing AES-128/256.

Legacy PDH/SDH Services

Maintaining legacy services can be more challenging than implementing the cutting edge. AMD provides an elegant gateway for incorporating existing PDH or SDH services into newer systems via proprietary OTN mapping or packet networks (via circuit emulation). High-speed transceiver features allow regeneration of emulated services. SyncE and 1588 support further enhances the ability to accurately recreate clocks between remote clients.

xPON Services

Converged access carries not only 5G data but enables the same hardware to be software configurable for use with xPON networks. This ability creates a converged access solution that brings RAN and broadband access together. The various PON interfaces drive specific requirements that impact transceiver hardware. Beyond nominal rates and voltages, CDR lock time is paramount to facilitate dense time-domain multiplexing. Burst CDR is supported for all UltraScale+™ and Versal NRZ transceivers.

Adaptable, Efficient Hardware Solutions

Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC ZU28DR and ZU48DR are ideal devices for remote PHY applications. The integrated ADCs and DACs backed by programmable logic and integrated SD-FEC offer a uniquely adaptable solution for cable access as standards continue to evolve and consolidate.

Soft Decision Forward Error Correction is fundamental to achieving low error rates on the QAM and OFDM signaling used for DOCSIS implementations. By integrating 8 SD-FEC blocks into the ZU28DR and ZU48DR, it’s possible to achieve 80% lower operating power compared to a soft implementation.
