Defense Ethernet Controller IP
Client Requirement
One of our North American Clients approached us with their requirements of designing a 100Mbps Ethernet controller to transmit the data from their high-security module over a high skew and noise lines. The challenge here is to design Ethernet PHY which can work with high noise and high skew signals.
Our Work
Sionsemi has suggested various encoders and decoders to reliably transmit over an ethernet network. The client has chosen the one that is best fit for their requirements, and architected, coded, verified and tested such Ethernet encoder and decoder along with its associated robust PHY that works for a wide range of noise and skew over an ethernet network.
