Tsi578, Tsi577, Tsi576, Tsi574, Tsi572 and Tsi620 Serial RapidIO Switches set industry benchmarks for high performance and low power consumption through an innovative feature set. Providing up to 80Gb/s aggregate bandwidth, the Tsi57x enables customers to develop high performance systems for DSP processor and FPGA interconnect. The Tsi578 is also an ideal solution for backplanes. Lowest power is enabled by configurable multiple port width and speed. The Tsi578 can be configured as a 16-port x1 switch or an 8-port x4 switch (or combinations of x1 and x4 ports). Each of the ports can also be set to run at 1.25, 2.5, or 3.125 Gbaud. The Tsi620 is a multi-protocol switch, offering bridging to PCI and Serial RapidIO over XGMII interface to low cost, non- SERDES FPGAs.

The PICMG AMC.4 specification uses RapidIO as a high speed backplane interface. RapidIO enables distributed computing by making multiple processor architectures with globally shared memory easy to implement. Tundra offers three generations of high performance , low latency RapidIO switches with industry leading interoperability, configurability and lowest power per port.

Other features for the Tundra RapidIO product family include; multicast, traffic management through scheduling algorithms, programmable buffer depth, and fabric performance control and monitoring.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Best overall system performance – superior real time image processing resolution, size and frames per second in miltary and medical imaging systems
• Lowest power dissipation (120-200 mW per port) tunable power per port to optimize power for the application. With competing synchronous switches, all ports must operate at the frequency of the highest speed port resulting in higher overall power dissipation
• System level design – requires only one clock input simplifying board design
• Tsi57x family supports IEEE 1149.6 JTAG testing
• Signal integrity – superior signal integrity at the board and system level
• Tsi620 offers Serial RapidIO to PCI bridging and Serial RapidIO to XGMII to non-SERDES FPGAs to lower system cost
• Cost competative with Gigabit Ethernet and PCI Express

TECHNICAL SPECS

• Compliant to Rev1.3 of the RapidIO Inteconnect Specification
• Low latency with cut-through capability
• Extremely flexible port configuration – data rates from 1-10 Gbps per port
• High performance hardware multicast
• Full duplex, non blocking switch fabric
