The TSN Network Core (Switched End Node) from NetTimeLogic is a standalone Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) core according to IEEE 802.1, IEEE 1588, and IEC 62439-3 standards. It supports TSN features like time synchronization, scheduling, priority queues, network redundancy, credit-based shaping, cyclic forwarding, and preemption completely in hardware, which allows running TSN protocols completely independent and standalone from the user application. It can run as a redundant endpoint, bridge between a redundant and a non-redundant network, or daisy chain node.

Key Features
- Up to 8 different priority queues, with freely definable VLAN priorities
- Up to 64 phases per cycle according to priority queues
- Cycle time and phase durations freely configurable (max 1 ms, min 15.625 us)
- Cut-Through (<2us delay @ 1G) or Store-And-Forward frame forwarding
- Frame scheduling according to IEEE 802.1 Qbv, Cyclic forwarding according to IEEE 802.1 Qch, Credit based shaper according to IEEE 802.1 Qav, Frame preemption according to IEEE 802.1 Qbu and IEEE 802.3 br can be enabled for the lowest priority to allow maximum bandwidth usage
