TSI721A1-16GCL

Specialized Overview

The TSI721A1-16GCL is a bridge integrated circuit manufactured by Renesas Electronics, designed to interconnect PCI Express and RapidIO networks. It functions as a PCIe2-to-S-RIO2 interface, facilitating data transfer between these distinct protocol domains. The component is housed in a 143-BGA FCBGA package with dimensions of 13x13 mm. It supports surface mount technology for PCB integration. This device belongs to the Tsi721 series and serves specialized connectivity roles in embedded systems requiring protocol translation.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Provides hardware-level bridging between PCI Express and Serial RapidIO protocols
• Supports PCIe Gen2 and S-RIO Gen2 standards for interoperability
• Utilizes a compact 143-pin FCBGA surface-mount package

Specialized Applications

• PCIe2-to-S-RIO2 network bridging
• Embedded system connectivity solutions
• Protocol conversion in industrial or aerospace architectures

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify part status carefully as listings indicate obsolete or limited availability. Confirm manufacturer documentation directly from Renesas Electronics Corporation rather than relying solely on distributor descriptions. Ensure the specific suffix matches required specifications, as variations exist within the TSI721 family. Check moisture sensitivity levels and handling requirements before procurement.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component only when explicit PCIe2 to Serial RapidIO bridging is required. Compare against other TSI721 variants to ensure pinout and feature compatibility. Verify that the 143-FCBGA package fits the target board layout constraints. Consider end-of-life status and long-term supply chain stability for production designs.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the Tsi721 series of bridge controllers. It addresses the need for connecting legacy or standard PCIe devices to modern Serial RapidIO networks. The design supports high-speed data exchange in constrained environments where direct protocol support is unavailable.
