FEATURES
Device Overview
The Tsi576TM is part of IDT’s third generation RapidIO switch family supporting 40 Gbps aggregate bandwidth.
The Tsi576 enables customers to develop systems with robust features and high performance at low cost.
The Tsi576 provides designers and architects with maximum scalability to design the device into a wide
range of applications. Flexible port configurations can be selected through multiple port width and frequency
options. Each of the ports can be run at 1.25 Gbaud, 2.5 Gbaud or 3.125 Gbaud.
Building on IDT’s industry leading RapidIO switch family, the Tsi576 contains all the benefits of its
predecessors plus enhances the fabric switching capabilities through the addition of multicast, traffic
management through scheduling algorithms, programmable buffer depth, and fabric performance monitoring
to supervise and manage traffic flow.
Embedded applications further benefit from the ability of the Tsi576 to route packets to multiple endpoints
through hierarchical lookup tables, independent unicast and multicast routing mechanisms, and error
management extensions that provide proactive issue notification to the fabric controller. In addition, the
Tsi576 supports both in-band serial RapidIO access and out-of-band access to the full fabric register set
through the I2C interface.

Typical Applications
The Tsi576 can be used in many embedded communication applications. It is designed for systems with
chip-to-chip DSP and processor aggregation, and connecting to network/backplanes.
The Tsi576 provides traffic aggregation through packet prioritization when it is used with RapidIO-enabled
I/O devices. When it is in a system with multiple RapidIO-enabled processors it provides high performance
peer-to-peer communication through its non-blocking switch fabric.
In wireless baseband, the Tsi576 provides a local interconnect between DSP used for chip rate processing
assist and symbol rate processing. This provides a scalable architecture to support more subscribers per card.

In video infrastructure cards, equipment vendors must maximize the number of DSPs per card to manage
compression and decompression algorithms. These DSPs are controlled by a local processor and all these
components are linked together by a low power, small form factor, low latency, multicast enabled Tsi576.
