IP cores (7)

IP cores

MES — Managed Ethernet Switch

VHDL IP for FPGAs

Managed switch IP combining HSR/PRP redundancy with legacy Ethernet ports, supporting STP/RSTP/MSTP, IEEE 1588 transparent clock and 802.1 features.

IP cores

HPS — HSR/PRP Switch

VHDL IP for FPGAs (runs on low-cost devices)

Full hardware implementation of zero-recovery-time HSR/PRP redundancy (IEC 62439-3 Ed.4.0). Cut-through forwarding gives very low latency, for power system equipment.

VHDL IP for FPGAs (no CPU required)

Hardware-only IEEE 1588v2 slave clock IP requiring no CPU. Nanosecond-class accuracy, L2/L3 PTP support and an optimised MAC.

IP cores

MultiSync — PTP & IRIG-B

VHDL IP for FPGAs

Precision time synchronisation IP supporting multiple PTP profiles plus IRIG-B, to around +/-100 ns, with time-server and time-bridge functions.

IP cores

PTP Ordinary/Boundary Clock

VHDL IP for FPGAs

IEEE 1588v2 Ordinary and Boundary Clock IP (L2/L3, E2E/P2P) for high-accuracy synchronisation across the whole network.

IP cores

SAScrypt — communication encryption IP

VHDL IP for FPGAs

Wire-speed encryption IP for substation automation (IEC 61850/62351), protecting real-time traffic using AES-GMAC.

IP cores

SMVsubscriber — SMV processing IP

VHDL IP for FPGAs (Alveo version available)
