We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ethernet MAC",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release FPGA expansion targets networking niche from
Xilinx, which we summarised at the time by saying "New devices will enable new levels of cost-optimisation for industrial networking, medical imaging, motor control, defence and high-performance computing applications".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Free IP core range expanded from
Xilinx: "Xilinx' 10/100 Ethernet MAC Lite and IIC interface IP cores can now be licensed at no additional charge".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Xilinx
concerning its Virtex-5 SXT
- take a look at DSP-optimised FPGAs available in volume
which says: "All three devices in the 65nm Virtex-5 SXT family are production-qualified and supported by the XtremeDSP portfolio of development tools and IP".
Take a look also at the news release from Asix Electronics Corporation, USB-to-LAN ICs are easy route to embedded Ethernet,
as well as MCUs have Ethernet MACs and open source stacks from Cyan Technology,
and Simulation kit matches FPGA progress from Zuken.
