Market Share of Ethernet Controller Industry
The Ethernet Controller Market is fragmented in nature due to high competition. Despite the fragmentation, the market is primarily tied to the regulatory requirements for establishment and operation. Further, with increasing innovation, acquisitions, and partnerships, market rivalry tends to rise in the future. The major players in the market are Intel Corporation, Broadcom Inc., Microchip Technology Inc, Cirrus Logic Inc., and Texas Instruments Incorporated, among others.
- December 2022 - Marvell Technology, Inc., one of the leaders in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, announced the Alaska CX9340P, a new 5nm 1.6T Ethernet PHY with 100G I/O capability, built-in Media Access Control security (MACsec) and total Precision Time Protocol (PTP) support communications network applications and for the cloud data center. PTP enables Ethernet networks to handle ultra-reliable timing-critical services, whereas MACsec allows data center operators to enable hardware-based link-layer security. The combination of the X9340P and the previously announced Alaska C X93160 PHY provides a pin-compatible, versatile platform for retiming, gear boxing, encryption, and timing applications at speeds up to 800 GbE.
- April 2022 - Cadence Design Systems Inc. announced the Cadence High-Speed Ethernet Controller IP family, enabling complete Ethernet subsystem solutions up to 800G. The company also introduced Cadence SerDes PHY IP in 7 nm, 5 nm, and 3 nm process nodes, optimized for power, performance, and area (PPA). The low-latency, high-speed controller IP expands Cadence's Ethernet Controller IP portfolio and is well suited for vast applications of Ethernet in new-age artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), cloud, and 5G infrastructures. The new controller family supports different aggregated bandwidths for 100G, 200G, 400G, and 800G Ethernet.
