Fiber Channel Avionics Environment IP Core (FC-AE IP Core)
FZ-020051
The Fiber Channel Avionics Environment IP Core (FC-AE IP Core) is a high-performance FPGA IP module developed in compliance with international standards including FC-FS, FC-LS, and the FC-AE-ASM protocol. Designed for real-time, deterministic, and reliable data transmission, it supports 2, 4, or 8 FC-AE ports with configurable line rates of 1.0625/2.125/4.25/8.5Gbps. The IP Core integrates a complete FC-AE protocol stack internally, significantly reducing CPU workload and ensuring high stability and low latency in mission-critical systems.
With its lightweight resource utilization and advanced protocol support, this IP Core enables rapid development of FC-AE terminal network interface cards. Its compact design and low power consumption make it ideal for embedded systems with strict size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints. Widely applicable in aerospace, defense, and naval platforms, the FC-AE IP Core helps developers accelerate design cycles, reduce integration risks, and achieve faster time-to-market.
