Toshiba has launched a new Ethernet bridge IC \u2013 the TC9563XBG -. It is intended for use in automotive zonal-architecture, infotainment, telematics or gateways as well as industrial equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new bridge IC incorporates two 10 Gbps Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) supporting a number of interfaces including USXGMII, XFI, SGMII, and RGMII[1]. Both ports support Ethernet IEEE802.1 audio\/video bridging (AVB) for real-time processing and low-latency IEEE802.1 time-sensitive networking (TSN) for synchronous processing. The ports also support \u2018simplified\u2019 single root I\/O virtualisation (SR-IOV) on PCIe devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The TC9563XBG includes a PCIe Gen 3 switch with three external ports for communications with the host-controller SoC and additional devices equipped with PCIe interfaces like 5G-modem modules. The PCIe switch upstream port supports up to four lanes (32GT\/s) for connection with the host SoC, whereas, depending on the configuration, the downstream ports can connect with one and two lanes to PCIe-capable devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automotive networks are evolving toward zonal architecture that requires real-time transmission between the zones using multi-gigabit Ethernet communication. As such, the TC9563XBG with its dual 10 Gbps AVB and TSN capable Ethernet interfaces is ideal for next-generation automotive networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As automotive communication requirements increase in terms of the amount of data as well as the required speeds, the new bridge IC will support various automotive applications including in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) and telematics. It can also replace the existing ethernet-to-PCIe TC9560 and TC9562 bridges, thereby upgrading system throughput and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently the use of PCIe interfaces has proliferated for device-to-device communication such as Wi-Fi, often leaving designers short of PCIe interfaces on the host SoC. Using the TC9563XBG\u2019s 3-port PCIe switch function for these connections will address this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Housed in a 10mm x 10mm, 0.65mm pitch P-FBGA package, the TC9563XBG bridge IC will be compliant with AEC-Q100 (Grade 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. USXGMII, XFI, SGMII, RGMII: Standards for Ethernet interfaces. USXGMII = Universal Serial 10 Gigabit Media Independent Interface; XFI = 10 Gigabit serial Interface; SGMII = Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface; RGMII = Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
