Overview
The IDT Tsi578 is a third-generation RapidIO switch supporting 80 Gbits/s aggregate bandwidth. The
Tsi578 is part of a family of switches that enable customers to develop systems with robust features and
high performance at low cost.
The Tsi578 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.
Building on the industry leading Tsi568A
TM
Serial RapidIO Switch, the Tsi578 contains all the benefits
of its predecessor 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.
