10G-400G Ethernet/FiberChannel/FlexO Core

The  10G-400G Multi-channel Multi-rate Ethernet/FiberChannel/FlexO Core (Epak400G_ZX)  core from Precise-ITC is a multi-channel multi-rate Ethernet aggregator that supports tributaries at 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 50GE, 100GE, 200GE, and 400GE in combinations up to 100GE for the Epak100G_ZX, 200GE for the Epak200G_ZX or 400GE for the Epak400_ZX.

The Epak 400G_ZX cores provide FlexE 2.1/2.0/1.1/1.0 functionality as an add-on option and implement multi-rate Ethernet PCS and MAC. This versatile device allows users to add or drop sub-channels (for example 10GE) or merge channels (for example 4x25G = 100GE). These dynamic changes do not affect traffic on existing channels.

The north-bound interface from the multi-channel MAC provides a configurable system interface. The Multi-channel MAC manages the mapping between individual MACs and the assigned I/O or I/O group.

The southbound interface is mapped (at the PMA layer) to the on-chip SERDES. The core is responsible for channel alignment and FEC (where applicable).

High-Speed Communication Core

All Precise-ITC cores have been tested on both Intel/Altera and Xilinx FPGA hardware. Precise-ITC partners with leading test equipment vendors like Spirent and Viavi to prove interoperability. SOC cores have been implemented with ASIC/FPGA partners using the latest technology nodes.

Precise-ITC cores are designed for efficiency. Built-in data buffers are efficiently implemented to reduce overall delay through the data path. Variable delay (or jitter) is tightly managed to ensure 1588v2 time-stamp accuracy. Precise-ITC can provide simulation models and routable RTL along with detailed interface documentation.
