Tsi109 Host Bridge for PowerPC™
Product Brief
®
Device Overview
Simplifying Design
The IDT Tsi109 is an advanced host bridge for PowerPC processors that
supports PCI-X, DDR2-400 SDRAM, Gigabit Ethernet, and Flash. The
device contains numerous integrated features that enable customers to
reduce system design complexity and system costs. As a result, the
Tsi109 has the best price/benefits ratio on the market.
The Tsi109 builds on a decade of IDT design experience in PowerPC
host bridging. It delivers industry-leading performance for customers in
the wireless infrastructure, storage networking, network access, printer,
military, and industrial automation markets.

Effective Power Management
The Tsi109 is the lowest, power-consuming host bridge on the market. It
minimizes active power by disabling unused ports and clocks, while its
integrated Clock Generator saves power over discrete devices. Its
support for DDR2 provides memory power savings of up to 50 percent
when compared with DDR. It also supports precharge power-down and
quiet stand-by power reduction modes on memory. In addition, the
Tsi109 conforms to the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification.

Tsi109’s flexible configuration options empower designers to develop
their systems quickly and efficiently. Selection of PCI/PCI-X modes, an
integrated Clock Generator, DDR2 support, and the ability to configure it
as a PCI Host/Agent, all enable the Tsi109 to be used in a range of
applications. The JTAG Interface also simplifies the debug process by
allowing access to Tsi109’s registers without impacting active transactions.

Enhancing System Performance
The advanced Switch Fabric architecture of the Tsi109 allows designers
to significantly enhance system performance. The Ethernet Controller
and PCI-X Interface offer superior data transfer rates. In addition, CPU
to memory performance is exceptional due to features like configurable
port arbitration priority and queuing reads ahead of writes.
Minimizing System Cost
The Tsi109 feature set provides system designers with an array of integrated functionality to assist in lowering overall system cost, such as an
integrated Clock Generator with spread-spectrum capabilities, a DDR2400 Memory Controller, and internal processor and PCI/X bus arbiters.
Memory Controller
• Supports DDR2-400 devices
• Operates up to 200 MHz
• Enhanced memory pipeline
Other Features
• Integrated bus arbiters for processors and PCI/X devices
• Integrated power management of processors and memory
devices
• Four independent DMA/XOR channels
• Clock generator with spread-spectrum capability
• Two independent Gigabit Ethernet ports
• HLP Interface for Flash and other simple I/O devices
• Two UARTs

Typical Applications
The following examples illustrate the Tsi109 in two typical applications.
Printer Controller Board
The Tsi109 feature set is ideally suited for printer applications. The
Clock Generator eliminates the need for external clock circuitry and
provides spread-spectrum capability for reducing EMI. The device
provides power management for processors, memory, and PCI/X
devices, in order to keep idle power at a minimum. In addition, the
Tsi109’s support for various PowerPC processor lines allows performance scalability with a common design.
Processor PMC
The Tsi109 is well suited for a variety of Processor PMC (PrPMC)
embedded applications (see figure). The Clock Generator eliminates the
need for external circuitry on the limited real estate of the PrPMC form
factor, while the DDR2 Memory Controller provides cost, power, and life
expectancy advantages over DDR. Aggressive active power management modes also makes the Tsi109 the lowest power-consuming host
bridge product on the market.
