IDT, Integrated Device Technology Inc TSI564A-10GCLY

Description
The IDT Tsi564A is a Serial RapidIO switch that supports 40 Gbps aggregate bandwidth. It is part of a family of switches that enable customers to develop systems with robust features and high performance at low cost. The Tsi564A 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.
Based on the Serial RapidIO Specification, the Tsi564A incorporates SerDes functionality, error recovery, priority-based fabric routing, high payload efficiency, and table-based fabric packet routing. In addition, the Tsi564A supports RapidFabric extensions including data streaming packet switching for interworking and encapsulation.
The device goes beyond standard specification requirements to solve system level issues by optimizing performance, lowering power consumption, and supporting hot swappable I/Os. The extensive buffering and traffic management architecture is specifically designed for line rate termination and the prevention of head-of-line blocking.
