TSI350-66CQ

Specialized Overview

The TSI350-66CQ is a PCI-to-PCI bridge controller manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It facilitates data transfer between two PCI buses operating at frequencies up to 66 MHz in 32-bit mode. The device supports standard PCI specifications, enabling connectivity for peripheral expansion and system integration. Key electrical parameters include a maximum clock frequency of 66 MHz and a 32-bit data bus width. The component is designed for reliable bridging applications within computer systems requiring high-speed interconnectivity between PCI segments.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Provides bridging functionality between two independent PCI buses
• Supports operation at clock frequencies up to 66 MHz
• Handles 32-bit data transfers in standard PCI mode

Specialized Applications

• Connecting multiple PCI buses in server architectures
• Expanding PCI slot availability in desktop or industrial PCs
• System integration requiring isolated PCI segment communication

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Renesas documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm current production status as interface ICs may have lifecycle changes. Ensure compatibility with existing system BIOS and hardware requirements before procurement.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated hardware solution is required to link two distinct PCI domains. Consider the 66 MHz speed capability if higher bandwidth than 33 MHz is necessary. Verify that the available packages match the PCB layout constraints of the target design.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the TSI350 family of PCI bridge controllers. The family includes variants such as the TSI350A and TSI350B, which offer similar bridging capabilities with potential differences in pinout or specific feature sets. These components are foundational for legacy PCI system expansion and interconnection.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements like the TSI350A-66CLV. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting. Ensure the alternative maintains support for 66 MHz operation and 32-bit mode.
