Collaboration between GDA Technologies and Arkados has resulted in the development of a fully functional, HomePlug-compliant powerline networking SoC
The XGEMAC is billed as the industry's first UNH-IOL compliance validated 10 gigabit Ethernet media access controller, and an important building block in the infrastructure needed to advance 10 Gigabit Ethernet transport technology into wide area, metro and local area networks. The XGEMAC is a rich featured, highly configurable core and is fully compliant with the IEEE802.3ae specification.
The XGEMAC has successfully completed interoperability testing conducted at the University of New Hampshire (UNH- IOL) InterOperability Laboratory on 25th July 2003.
"GDA's highly flexible system validation platform, exhaustively validated XGEMAC design and their in-house Ethernet expertise allowed them to complete the conformance testing very quickly, in just a few days", said Bob Noseworthy, 10 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium Manager at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab.
"GDA's XGEMAC IP successfully completed all the 10 Gigabit Ethernet conformance tests and hence offers additional confidence to its future licensees that their products will be in compliance with IEEE802.3ae specification.
We are very happy to see GDA leading this new trend in IP business in which the vendors are going all the way in creating system implementations and compliance validation.
It aligns very well with our charter at UNH IOL of fostering industry wide 10G Ethernet interoperability and compliance".

"The XGEMAC is a cost-effective, highly configurable and end-to-end system validated solution for switch, router and NIC designers", said Prakash Bare, Vice President of IP Business at GDA Technologies.
"Through the XGEMAC offering, we provide the system designers a 10 Gigabit Ethernet MAC design that has low latency, high throughput, small foot print, and is ready-to-go for easy integration into ASIC and FPGA implementations".
The XGEMAC adheres to the IEEE802.3ae standard and is available for both ASIC and FPGA implementations.
Its simple, configurable and modular architecture is independent of application logic, PHY designs, implementation tools and most importantly target technologies.
The XGEMAC provides XGMII interface to the line side and a flexible backend interface to the user logic on the system side.
The XGEMAC has an extensive set of filtering capabilities based on source, destination, unicast, multicast, and broadcast addresses as well as being VLAN aware.
The optional FIFO module supports configurable depths and watermarks with a variety of control options to support lossless flow control.
The core also provides rate matching for OC-192 PHY components and a full set of statistics counters to support SNMP/RMON.
The XGEMAC and the IP validation platform are available now.
