TSN-EP


The TSN-EP implements a configurable controller meant to ease the implementation of endpoints for networks complying to the Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards. The controller core is designed to enable high-precision timing synchronization and flexible yet accurate traffic scheduling. Requiring minimal software assistance for its initialization, it features extremely low and deterministic ingress and egress latencies and simplifies the development of time-aware applications.


Features and Benefits


  • TSN Ethernet Endpoint :
    • One Ethernet port & one host processor port
    • Suitable for star-topology networks
    • 10/100/1000 Mbps (10+ Gbps soon)
