Description:

The RapidIO® Interconnect Architecture is an industry-standard, high performance, packet-based interconnect technology that provides a high-speed interconnect between network processing units (NPUs), central processing units (CPUs), and digital signal processors (DSPs). It addresses the need for a standards-based, high-speed, reliable interconnect and is targeted at the networking, embedded, and storage markets. RapidIO allows chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and system-to-system communications scaling to 10 Gbps and beyond.

Tundra Semiconductor is the industrys leading supplier of RapidIO® System Interconnect Solutions, providing a broad portfolio of switches and development platforms for the growing RapidIO market. Silicon Logic Engineering Inc. (SLE), Tundras Design Services Division, will be offering and supporting the Tundra Serial RapidIO Endpoint Intellectual Property (IP). Leveraging Tundras Serial RapidIO IP library will enable customers to enjoy the benefits of RapidIO - a high performance, packet-oriented interconnect protocol for chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and chassis-to-chassis applications in their designs. With the RapidIO Endpoint IP and SLEs design services, customers can access a full service RapidIO solution to create a customized application while lowering design risk and accelerating time-to-market.

The RapidIO Endpoint IP is compliant with the RapidIO Interconnect Specification (Revision 1.3). It has proven interoperability between endpoints in customers designs to be fully interoperable with Tundras Serial RapidIO portfolio, including the Tsi578, Tsi576, Tsi574, Tsi568A, and Tsi564A switches. This RapidIO Endpoint IP also works with off-the-shelf SerDes IP from leading technology vendors. The ability to use proven SerDes IP, coupled with proven Serial RapidIO Endpoint IP, means fast RapidIO integration into your design. Ease of IP integration reduces development cost and time resulting in your end product reaching the target market faster. The Tundra RapidIO Endpoint IP is specifically designed and tested to be easily synthesizable into 130 nm (or better) CMOS technology.
