10GEDEK is an evolution of the popular GEDEK IP offering, designed to harness the capabilities of 10 Gigabit Ethernet for FPGA implementations. This processor-less Ethernet IP is created to overcome the limitations of software-driven solutions, allowing high-speed data processing directly within FPGA frameworks without incurring the overhead of unnecessary complexities or need of a high-end SoC FPGA solution.
By ensuring the maximum theoretical throughput without data loss, 10GEDEK provides a robust framework that expands the horizons of Ethernet connectivity in FPGA applications. This IP supports full-duplex operation at impressive speeds, making it ideal for applications that demand high data rates, such as video streaming, high-speed data acquisition, and real-time controls. The flexibility provided by this IP extends to both short-range networks over copper cabling and long-range networks using optical fiber, allowing for broad applicability in diverse settings.
10GEDEK is designed to be easily integrated, using existing 10G chipset transceivers in Altera/Intel, AMD/Xilinx, Lattice, and Microchip FPGA devices. This eliminates the need for additional costly firmware, providing an easy onboarding process for developers and ensuring long-term applicability across industry-standard hardware configurations. Its introduction marks a significant enhancement in facilitating high-volume data exchange and offers a path for future scalability.
