The ARINC 664 (AFDX) End System is designed to implement an Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) Network, compliant with ARINC 664 Part 7. It supports multiple physical interfaces including MII, RMII, GMII, and SGMII, capable of handling data transmission at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps efficiently. This IP core enables robust communication between avionics systems, utilizing AXI interfaces for host control, status management, and message transactions.
The core employs internal buffering to handle message loads without requiring external memory, improving system performance and reliability. This optimization is pivotal in sustaining efficient data flow and minimizing latency in avionics applications. Developed to Design Assurance Level A standards per DO-254 guidelines, it also includes a Certification Kit to support regulatory compliance efforts for its users.
Enhanced with optional radiation-hardened configurations, the ARINC 664 (AFDX) End System is built to endure rigorous conditions, making it ideal for in-flight and other high-security communication environments. The IP's modular design ensures it can be easily incorporated into a variety of system architectures, further broadening its applicability across the aviation industry.
