Xilinx 40G/100G Ethernet LogiCORE based on Sarance Technologies Best-In-Class Intellectual Property

Xilinx High-Speed Ethernet LogiCORE® (HSEC) is a high-performance and flexible implementation of the IEEE 802.3ba for 40Gbps and 100Gbps Ethernet. The HSEC implements the Multi-Lane Distribution (MLD) protocol layer, the 40G and 100G aggregate Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS), and a 40G and 100G Media Access Controller (MAC) module. The HSEC is world’s first implementation of the IEEE 802.3ba specifications and has been successfully deployed in a major ISP’s network in the USA. Xilinx also sells the CAUI and XLAUI PCS layers separate from the MAC. Xilinx 40G and 100G Ethernet LogiCORE is based on Sarance Technologies Intellectual Property and is delivered as a netlist implemented in Virtex® FPGA families.
