Design Challenges,
Tundra Answers
With demand and competition in global
communications markets increasing,
infrastructure vendors are racing to provide ever-
greater, well-managed bandwidth.
As a systems designer, you know that to achieve
these cost and performance advantages, you need
off-the-shelf, standards-based, latest-generation
technology. This includes System Interconnect.
Tundra Semiconductor Corporation is the leader
in System Interconnect. Our products deliver the
interface and throughput features you need to
lead markets and build the networks
of tomorrow.
The Tundra Universe II is the industry's leading high performance 64-bit VMEbus to
PCI interconnect. Universe II is fully compliant with the VME64 bus standard, and
tailored for the next-generation of advanced PCI processors and peripherals. With a
zero-wait state implementation, multi-beat transactions, and support for bus-parking,
Universe II provides high performance on the PCI bus. Designers can conserve board
space by using the Universe II DBGA (25mmx25mm 361-contact dimpled ceramic
BGA) package. The device is also available in the standard 35mmx35mm 313-contact
plastic BGA package.
The Universe II eases development of multi-master, multi-processor architectures on
VMEbus/PCI systems. The device is ideally suited for CPU boards functioning as
both master and slave in the VMEbus system, and that require access to PCI systems.
Bridging is accomplished through a decoupled architecture with independent FIFOs
for inbound, outbound, and DMA traffic. With this architecture, throughput is
maximized without sacrificing bandwidth on either bus.
On the VME side, a rich set of features
ensures that the device fits within a wide
range of applications. A full suite of
addressing and data modes is
implemented, including BLT and MBLT
support. In addition, a fully featured
system controller, interrupter, interrupt
handler, and Linked-List DMA make
Universe II a very flexible System
Interconnect device. Other key Universe II
features include location monitors,
mailboxes, and semaphores.
With the Universe II, you know that as
your system becomes more complex, you
have proven silicon that continues to
provide everything you need in a
PCI-to-VME bridge.

Universe II PBGA
The Universe II is the industry standard PCI
bus-to-VMEbus bridge and it supports the
latest generation of VME applications.
As a VMEbus bridge, the device's most
important function is data transfer. Data
transfer is performed by its three channels: the
PCI Slave Channel, the VME Slave Channel,
and the DMA Channel.
The device's programmable DMA controller
with Linked-List mode (Scatter/Gather)
support enables highly efficient and effective
data transfer.
The Universe II provides sustained transfer
rates of up to 60-70 Mbytes/s, which enhances
overall system performance.

Applications
Tundra understands the need to increase performance throughout today's
communications networks. From premise equipment to local carrier gear
to high-end digital switches, designers need to deliver ever-faster traffic
through the same or smaller footprint at reduced cost. Tundra System
Interconnect helps in that effort by providing features and benefits across
all levels of the network. The Universe II enables engineers to integrate
PCI devices in a VMEbus backplane system.
Applications:
Single-board computers
Telecommunications equipment
Test equipment
Command and control systems
Factory automation equipment
Medical equipment
Military
Aerospace
Typical Application:
Single Board Computers
The Universe II is widely used on VME-
based Single Board Computers (SBC)
that employ PCI as their local bus and
VME as the backplane bus, as shown in
the accompanying diagram. These SBC
cards support a variety of applications
including telecom, datacom, medical,
industrial, and military equipment.
The Universe II high performance
architecture seamlessly bridges the PCI
and VME busses, and is the VME
industry's standard for single board
computer interconnect device.
