The Tsi108\nprocessor bus operates up to 200MHz and was the first host bridge for PowerPC\nto support DDR2 memory. With such integrated features as spread spectrum clock\ngeneration, the Tsi108 increases system performance, reduces system design\ncomplexity and lowers overall system cost.\nTundra also announced that the Tsi109 Host Bridge is now available for\ngeneral sampling. Building on the extensive benefits of the Tsi108, the Tsi109\nis capable of dual processor support that enables higher system compute\nperformance. The Tsi109 has an improved memory pipeline that increases memory\nbandwidth and integrated power management features to address demanding, low\npower applications. The Tsi108 and Tsi109 offer designers best system\nperformance-per-watt as well as best system performance-per-dollar.\n\nIncreased Performance and Functionality Brings Highly Optimized Systems\nto Market Faster\n\nTundra's growing portfolio of Host Bridges for PowerPC delivers industry-\nleading system performance, power and cost for customers in the wireless and\nwireline networking, storage and embedded computing markets. The Tsi108 and\nTsi109 have received broad support from several leading customers in a range\nof markets, including Momentum Computer Inc.\nMomentum Computer Inc., a leading provider of high-performance embedded,\nsingle board computer and compression solutions, designed Tundra's Tsi108 and\nTsi109 into their board-level computer solutions for the\ndata/telecommunications, military and aerospace markets, meeting the critical\nproduction and quality requirements of the leading industries in these\nmarkets.\n\"We are pleased to see production availability and general sampling of\nTundra's Tsi108 and Tsi109 high performance host brid...
