Tsi310TM 133-MHz PCI-X Bridge Product Brief (R) Device Overview The IDT Tsi310 is a 64-bit PCI-X bus bridge that operates at speeds up to 133 MHz, and supports transfer rates up to 1 GBps. The PCI-X protocol is backward compatible with the PCI 2.2 bus standard ensuring that legacy PCI-based systems are portable to the faster PCI-X environment. The Tsi310 connects two electrically separate PCI-X bus domains, allowing concurrent operations on both buses. This results in optimal use of the buses in various system configurations, and enables hierarchical expansion of I/O bus structures. The device also supports configurations of PCI or PCI-X mode on either bus, and in any combination. In addition, the Tsi310 provides extensive buffering and prefetching mechanisms for efficient data transfer between two buses, facilitating multi-threaded operation and high system throughput.

Each of these identical units contains separate buffers for burst read, posted write, and single data phase operations. Also included in these blocks are write queues, queue compare logic, address decoding upstream for forwarding, control logic, and other control functions. The clocking and reset control unit manages these common device functions. Block Diagram Primary Clock PLL allow full frequency range as required by the bus architecture. The two bus clocks may be run synchronously or asynchronously, and a spreadspectrum clock input is supported for either or both interfaces. The device has I/O and Memory Base Address registers and Prefetchable Memory Base Address registers for downstream forwarding, as well as inverse decoding for upstream forwarding, VGA-compatible addressing, and palette snooping for upstream transactions. The Tsi310 uses a flat addressing model and supports 64-bit addressing and dual address cycles. The Tsi310 responds as a medium-speed device on both PCI-X Interfaces, and supports fast, back-to-back transactions as a bus slave. Bus Slave PCI Bus Arbitration The Tsi310 uses an arbiter for the secondary bus, which can be disabled if an external arbiter is employed. When enabled, bus arbitration is provided for the Tsi310 and up to six external masters. Each bus master can be assigned high or low priority, or be masked off. Secondary Bus Arbiter 80B6000_BK001_03 PCI-X Interfaces The Tsi310 has two identical PCI-X Interfaces that each handle PCI and PCI-X transactions for its respective bus, and, depending on the type of transaction, can act as either a bus master or a bus slave. These interfaces transfer data and control information flowing to and from the blocks shown in the figure. Opaque Addressing (Optional) The Tsi310 has an optional feature that can define an opaque (undecoded) memory address region to facilitate applications with embedded processors. The Tsi310 uses the 3.3V signaling environment. It employs two phaselocked loops (PLLs), one for the primary clock domain and one for the secondary clock domain. The PLL for each domain is used when the bus is operating in PCI-X mode. In PCI mode, the PLL is bypassed to IDT and the IDT logo are registered trademarks of Integrated Device Technology, Inc. 1 of 2 2008 Integrated Device Technology, Inc.
