New VITA standards 41-VXS and 46-VPX are using RapidIO bus as a high-speed data path in
parallel with VME bus for local and control plane traffic. 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 Tsi57x product family include; multicast, traffic management
through scheduling algorithms, programmable buffer depth, and fabric performance
control and monitoring.
TECHNICAL SPECS

• Compliant to Rev1.3 of the RapidIO Interconnect Specification
• Low Latency with cut-through capability
• Extremely Flexible port Configuration – data rates from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps per port
• High Performance Hardware Multicast
• Full duplex, non blocking switch fabric

• Best Overall System performance – Superior real time image processing resolution, size
  and frames per second in military 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
