Design Gateway’s 10GbE MAC IP Core is a compact, cost-effective, and low-latency Ethernet MAC solution tailored for Altera FPGA platforms. Featuring full interface compatibility with Altera’s native MAC and supporting the Avalon-ST interface, it seamlessly integrates into existing systems while achieving best-in-class performance. With transmission latency as low as 19.2ns and reception latency of 44.8ns, it is ideal for real-time applications requiring deterministic Ethernet communication. Optimized for use with Design Gateway’s UDP10G-IP and TOE10G-IP, this MAC core minimizes FPGA resource usage without sacrificing throughput or reliability. Its streamlined, hardware-only design eliminates CPU dependency, enabling efficient and stable operation for aerospace, industrial, and high-frequency trading systems—all while keeping total system costs low.
