Tundra Semiconductor Corporation has announced that Emerson Network Power’s new Embedded Computing business, formerly Artesyn Communication Products, has implemented Tundra’s industry-leading Tsi568A Serial RapidIO Switch into the Fat Pipe switch module in its new 12-slot MicroTCA development system, and is working with Tundra on a series of additional Serial RapidIO designs.
“Serial RapidIO is one of the technologies most desired for key MicroTCA applications like gateways and wireless base stations, and Tundra enabled us to provide this functionality in our newest development system,” said Todd Wynia, vice president of product management for Emerson’s new Embedded Computing business. “AdvancedTCA, AdvancedMC, and MicroTCA are quickly becoming the open architecture platforms of choice among network equipment providers, and Tundra provides a stable, scalable and high-performance interconnect solution that helps speed our time-to-market.”
“We are proud to be collaborating in the evaluation and design of Emerson Network Power’s next-generation Serial RapidIO-based systems,” said Rick O’Connor, chief technology officer at Tundra. “We recognize AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA as fast-growing markets and we are committed to ensuring that the RapidIO ecosystem, and Serial RapidIO interconnect, are a driving force behind the momentum.”
Tundra continues to lead in the development of the RapidIO standard and was the first semiconductor vendor to bring Parallel and Serial RapidIO switches to market. With numerous RapidIO switches launched and in production and partner development platforms available, Tundra is recognized as the market leader for advanced RapidIO System Interconnect. Tundra is committed to bringing high-performance RapidIO products to market to meet the rapidly growing demand from customers now designing with the RapidIO technology.
