Overview
This chapter discusses the functional characteristics of the Tsi620 evaluation board. It describes the
board’s key specifications, system architecture, and hardware implementation approaches.
The Tsi620 evaluation board serves the following purposes:
•
To demonstrate the Tsi620’s potential application in a typical wireless baseband processing system
•
To provide a hardware platform for customers to assess the Tsi620’s major features and to evaluate
the performance of the device in a real wireless base station system
•
To function as a design reference for customer’s Tsi620 hardware development

Baseband Processing Data Flow
The Tsi620 evaluation board can function as a baseband processing module in a wireless base station
application. The board can connect to an RF module with OBSAI/CPRI links. It is assumed that the
board will be functioning in an MicroTCA chassis with AMC-sRIO backplane, which provides
networking and system management interconnection.
