The Tundra Tsi310™ PCI/X bridge is the industry standard, 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X to PCI-X bridge. The device's interfaces can be independently configured to operate in PCI or PCI-X mode allowing for efficient, hierarchical expansion of I/O bus structures. The Tsi310 feature set supports applications with embedded subsystems on the secondary bus of the bridge.

The evolutionary PCI-X I/O technology increases system performance with greater throughput and efficiency. It provides up to eight times more speed than PCI bus technology, and delivers the high performance required for enterprise, telecommunications, and data communications systems.

The Tsi310 transparently connects two electrically separate PCI-X bus domains, allowing concurrent operations on both buses. This results in good utilization of the buses in various system configurations and enables hierarchical expansion of I/O bus structures. The Tsi310 can handle 64-bit data at a maximum bus frequency of 133 MHz (depending upon the bus topology and load), and is backward compatible with all 3.3V I/O PCI interfaces. The Tsi310 also provides extensive buffering and prefetching mechanisms for efficient transfer of data through the device, facilitating multi-threaded operation, and high system throughput.
