TSI310A-133CE

The Renesas TSI310A-133CE is a specialized interface IC designed as a 64-bit PCI-X bus bridge. It operates at speeds of up to 133 MHz, facilitating high-speed data transfers with rates reaching 1 GBps. This device is backward compatible with the PCI 2.2 standard, ensuring seamless integration with legacy PCI-based systems.

The Tsi310 connects two electrically separate PCI-X bus domains, allowing for concurrent operations on both buses. This architecture optimizes bus utilization in various system configurations and supports hierarchical expansion of I/O bus structures. The device can be configured for PCI or PCI-X mode on either bus, in any combination.

Key features include extensive buffering and prefetching mechanisms for efficient data transfer between the two buses, which facilitates multi-threaded operation and high system throughput. The Tsi310 utilizes 3.3V signaling and incorporates two phase-locked loops (PLLs) for clock management in PCI-X mode. It is supplied in a 304-SBGA package and is designed for surface mount applications.

This bus bridge is suitable for applications requiring high-performance data transfer and flexible bus management. Its design supports efficient data handling between different bus domains, making it a valuable component for complex system architectures.
