RadiSys recently launched the Advanced\nTelecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) Digital Signal Processing\n(DSP) blade, which uses the Tsi578 as its Serial RapidIO interconnection for\nlarge-scale DSP aggregation.\n\n\n"The Promentum ATCA-9100 responds to increasing customer demand for high\nperformance solutions that address the growing number of applications\nrequiring media processing," said V. Prasannan, Senior Director ATCA Product\nManagement, at RadiSys Corporation. "We selected Tundra's Tsi578 with\nmulticast because this Serial RapidIO switch offered large-scale DSP\naggregation capabilities with proven interoperability, lower power and minimal\nlatency - all critical requirements for the highly intensive network\napplications that the ATCA-9100 targets."\n\n\n"RadiSys selection of the Tsi578 demonstrates the advantages of high\nperformance, hardware multicast, low power and latency that RapidIO enables in\ndemanding communications applications, " said Benny Chang, Chief Technology\nOfficer, Tundra Semiconductor. "The Tsi578 optimizes DSP performance by\nenabling the DSPs to focus on the media processing instead of interconnect\ntermination. Like RadiSys, many of our Tier 1 customers are choosing Tundra\nSerial RapidIO switches for their wireless baseband, VoIP, media processing\nand media gateways solutions that require proven, DSP aggregation to gain\nsuperior processing performance," added Chang.\n\n\nIn February 2006, Tundra launched the Tsi578, a 8/16 port Serial RapidIO\nSwitch with hardware multicast, responding to designers demand for low\ninterconnect processing overhead, low power consumption, minimum latency as\nwell as board layout with high signal integrity. The Tsi578 supports the 1.3\nRapidIO Specification and has been qualified by RIOLAB(TM), the world's only\nindependent RapidIO interoperability testing facili...
