The Tsi620 evaluation board serves the following purposes:
•To demonstrate the Tsi620’s potential application in a typical wireless baseband processing system
•To provide a hardware platform for customers to assess the Tsi620’s major features and to evaluate
the performance of the device in a real wireless base station system
•To function as a design reference for customer’s Tsi620 hardware development
1.2Board Architecture
1.2.1Baseband Processing Data Flow
The Tsi620 evaluation board can function as a baseband processing module in a wireless base station
application. The board can connect to an RF module with OBSAI/CPRI links. It is assumed that the
board will be functioning in an MicroTCA chassis with AMC-sRIO backplane, which provides
networking and system management interconnection.

Figure 1: Baseband Processing Data Flow
The major baseband processing engine on the evaluation board is a TI triple-core DSP TCI6488 with
3-GHz processing capability. Altera’s Stratix3 FPGA with up to 150K LE functions as the DSP
accelerator of the baseband data processing. Two antenna OBSAI/CPRI links provide the interface to
an RF module through SFP optical transceiver over optical cable. The low-speed OBSAI link with
780 Mbps is directly connected to the FPGA, and another high-speed OBSAI with up to 3 Gbps is fed
directly into the DSP antenna interface. One OBSAI/CPRI link is also supported between the AMC
backplane at port 17 and the DSP antenna interface.
The Tsi620 functions as the central traffic hub to provide high-bandwidth data flow of the AMC
backplane, FPGA, DSP, and PrPMC module. The processed data can be transmitted to the AMC sRIO
backplane through the Tsi620 sRIO switch. Both upstream and downstream data flow can be
implemented. The data transfer between the DSP and FPGA is through the Tsi620 using two 1x sRIO
links so that the FPGA can function as a powerful accelerator to assist DSP baseband processing. The
