Multi-standard Serial Switch
Mon, 01/14/2008 - 4:30am
Tundra Semiconductor Corporation introduces the Tsi620, a multi-standard serial RapidIO switch that lowers 3 G baseband costs by bridging RapidIO-based DSP clusters to low cost embedded processors and FPGAs. The Tundra Tsi620 lowers 3 G baseband processing costs by directly connecting a switched cluster of RapidIO-enabled DSPs to low cost PCI-enabled microprocessors, in many cases leveraging investment in existing software solutions. Further cost savings are realized by taking advantage of the Tsi620s unique RapidIO port for FPGA interconnect. This port allows baseband designers to select cost competitive FPGAs without integrated SerDes.
