Ethernet PCS

200G/400G

Size optimized, Silicon agnostic, Silicon Proven Ethernet PCS IP core for High Speed Ethernet applications

Overview

The 200G/400G Ethernet PCS IP core is a silicon agnostic implementation of the Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) described in the Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3-2020 and its compliant with Clause 117 and Clause 119 of IEEE 802.3 specification.

Ethernet PCS 200G/400G   IP from Comcores provides an interface between the Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) through a 8 or 16-lane parallel interface and offers a 200GMII or 400GMII interface on the other side.

Comcores 200G/400GEthernet PCS IP core is verified using advanced methodologies for RTL design, verification, HW verification and interoperability testing. It has been optimized for size and is a highly tested solution that will fast-track any project.

The 200G/400G Ethernet PCS IP supports 200G or 400G line rates, however, other Ethernet PCS speeds are also available, including the 100G Ethernet PCS and 800G Ethernet PCS.
