The Flexibilis Ethernet Switch (FES) is an efficient Ethernet Layer 2 switch IP, designed to provide gigabit forwarding capabilities per port. Operable across multiple speed settings, FES integrates PTPv2 end-to-end transparent clock processing, contributing significantly to the synchronization and management of high-performance Ethernet networks.
FES is a versatile IP core that supports a wide array of interface standards, offering various configurations from 3 to 12 ports. This flexibility allows it to be tailored to specific applications, such as connecting FPGA blocks or external PHYs. The core's advanced memory management system ensures efficient use of FPGA resources, making it a cost-effective solution for network developers.
Furthermore, FES's integration of multiple prioritization queues per port, coupled with Quality of Service measures, ensures critical data is prioritized effectively even under network congestion. Its synchronization via the IEEE 1588 protocol empowers precise application in domains demanding exact timing, enhancing its utility in industrial automation and telecom environments.
