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 I

C interface.
1.1.1
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 DSPs used for chip rate
processing assist and symbol rate processing. This provides a scalable architecture to support more
subscribers per card.
