The SH IP-CORE-ARCCTRL is an ARCNET network controller IP core for use in FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). It has been designed in VHDL and was developed for Altera FPGAs and Xilinx FPGAs. The design can be transferred to other FPGA types.

The IP core is completely compatible to ARCNET standards.

Due to its high flexibility the design may be used for or adopted to a wide field of applications:
• One-Chip PCI-Express ARCNET card
• Simple and cost-effective node for versatile digital I/O
• universal ARCNET-ARCNET or ARCNET-Ethernet bridge with virtual node-mapping
• Highspeed point-to-point connections
• Embedded networking
• System-On-Chip solutions

We already use SH IP-CORE-ARCCTRL ourselves in the following product lines of our company: SH ARC-USB, SH ARC-Mx-HUB and SH ARC-HUB.

We've successfully proven that IP-CORE-ARCCTRL brings companies, such as BOSCH Rexroth, using ARCNET benefits thru optimizing their ARCNET by having full control over the ARCNET controller with IP-CORE-ARCCTRL.
