[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nTundra Tsi572(TM) Offers Customers Maximum Functionality and Lowest Power\n\n\nOTTAWA, May 28 /CNW Telbec/ - Tundra Semiconductor Corporation (TSX:TUN),\na leader in System Interconnect, today announced the Tundra Tsi572 Serial\nRapidIO Switch. This scalable, low power switch, adds another processor\naggregation solution to Tundra's industry-leading portfolio of RapidIO(R)\nproducts.\n\n\nCost sensitive applications can now take advantage of the powerful\nfunctionality of Tundra's proven RapidIO Switches, including; scalability,\nperformance, hardware multicast, and low latency. The Tsi572 is ideally suited\nfor a broad spectrum of wireless, wireline, and imaging/video applications.\n\n\n"Tundra is committed to responding to customer requirements and this\nproduct is a perfect example of our dedication to answering a specific\ncustomer need. By reducing the port count and adjusting the packaging, our\nexpert design team has created a RapidIO Switch which offers our customers a\ncompetitive edge," said Tracy Richardson, Vice President Marketing, Tundra\nSemiconductor.\n\n\nThe new Tsi572 Switch is the lowest power RapidIO Switch available on the\nmarket today, compliant with the RapidIO 1.3 specification. Tundra's new\nTsi572 Switch offers designers the performance and reliability of RapidIO with\nlower port count and lower power consumption, at a cost that suits their high\nvolume applications. Designers can rely on the proven interoperability of the\nTsi57x product line and socket compatibility of the Tsi572 with the\nTsi576(TM).\n\n\n"Tundra's Tsi572 RapidIO Switch coupled with Texas Instrument's high\nperformance single-core TMS320TCI6482, TMS320TCI6484 DSP or multi-core\nTMS320TCI6487/88 DSP enables wireless base station OEMs to develop flexible,\nhigh-performance and board-area efficient channel card designs," said Kathy\nBrown, TI's DSP Wireless Infrastructure Business Manager.\n\n\n"Recently PICMG approved the AMC.4 specification, for x4 RapidIO on the\nbackplane in MicroTCA. The Tsi572 complies with the AMC.4 specification and\nprovides an ideal solution for RapidIO connection on AMC's and to the\nbackplane. System OEMs can use RapidIO x1 ports for processor aggregation on\nAMC's and a RapidIO x4 port for interface to the AMC.4 backplane," said Tom\nCox, Executive Director of the Rap...
