TSI721-16GIL

Specialized Overview

The TSI721-16GIL is a bridge integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed to facilitate connectivity between PCI Express and RapidIO networks. It functions as a PCIe-to-RapidIO bridge, enabling data transfer between these distinct interface standards. The component is housed in a 143-ball Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FCBGA) package with dimensions of 13x13 mm. It operates within a supply voltage range of 0.95V to 1.05V and supports a maximum data rate of 20 Gb/s. The device is rated for an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and features I2C and JTAG interfaces for configuration and debugging.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Provides hardware bridging functionality between PCI Express Gen 2 and Serial RapidIO Gen 2 protocols
• Supports high-speed data transmission with a peak throughput capability of 20 Gb/s
• Integrates standard management interfaces including I2C and JTAG for system control

Specialized Applications

• PCIe 2.0 to Serial RapidIO 2.0 interconnect solutions
• High-performance embedded computing systems requiring protocol translation
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing RapidIO backplanes

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix of the part number, as variations such as TSI721A1-16GILH or TSI721A1-16GILV exist within the same family. Confirm current availability status, as this series may be marked as obsolete or limited supply by distributors. Ensure compatibility with the specific voltage and thermal requirements of the target design before procurement.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when a direct hardware bridge between PCIe and RapidIO domains is required without software overhead. Consider the 143-FCBGA package constraints during PCB layout planning. Verify that the system power budget accommodates the specified 0.95V to 1.05V supply range and that the thermal environment remains within the -40°C to +85°C operational limits.

Specialized Part Context
