TSI308-600CLV

Specialized Overview

The TSI308-600CLV is a specialized interface integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It functions as a HyperTransport to PCI-X bridge, providing protocol bridging between HyperTransport operating at 600 MHz with an 8-bit width and PCI-X buses running up to 133 MHz. The device supports a primary 32-bit PCI-X bus. It is housed in a 388-pin TEPBGA package measuring 27.0 x 27.0 mm with a pitch of 1 mm. The component operates within a moisture sensitivity level of 3 (168 hours) and is lead-free.

Specialized Feature Summary

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the obsolete status of this part number through official Renesas channels before procurement planning. Confirm that the 388-pin TEPBGA package dimensions and pinout requirements align with existing board layouts. Ensure supply chain sources can provide valid traceability for this discontinued component. Check for any specific handling requirements related to its moisture sensitivity level during storage and reflow processes.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component only when a direct bridge between 600 MHz HyperTransport and 133 MHz PCI-X is required. Evaluate the physical constraints of the 388-pin TEPBGA package against available PCB space. Consider the availability of alternative solutions given the product's end-of-life status. Verify system compatibility with the specific electrical characteristics of the supported bus standards.

Specialized Part Context

The TSI308 series belongs to Renesas' portfolio of specialized interface controllers designed for high-performance computing environments. This specific model addresses the need for interoperability between different high-speed serial link technologies. It serves as a critical connectivity solution in systems requiring data exchange between HyperTransport-enabled processors and PCI-X peripheral architectures.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available for this discontinued component. Engineers must evaluate redesign options or source remaining inventory from authorized distributors. Alternative bridge solutions may require significant schematic and layout modifications due to differing pinouts and interface protocols.
