Tachyon DX2 Architecture
The Tachyon DX2 advances the
Tachyon XL2 architecture, provid-
ing a complete hardware-based
solution in a dual channel Fibre
Channel device. The DX2 offers full
duplex capability within each
channel as well as full performance.
In addition, the DX2 has numerous
independent functional blocks
which concurrently process
inbound data, outbound data,
control and commands in hard-
ware. This results in the lowest
latency and highest performance in
a multi-function device.
Typical Subsystem Application
Figure 1 shows DX2 in an optional
high-performance configuration.
The DX2 chips interface between
the mass storage devices on the
Fibre Channel loops, the main
memory of the subsystem and the
host.
In this example, the DX2 chips inter-
face with main memory cache through
33/66 MHz PCI or 66/100/133 MHz
PCI-X backplane, with 32/64-bit
support in either mode.
Host Bus Adapter Example
Figure 2 shows an example of a
DX2 on a generic host bus adapter.
On the backplane, the DX2 inter-
faces directly to an industry
standard 33/66 MHz PCI or
66/100/133 MHz PCI-X bus. On the
frontplane, each channel can be
independently configured to use
either an HSPI-compatible 10-bit
external SERDES or an integrated
SERDES.
The onboard optional boot
ROM/Flash ROM is connected
directly to the DX2 chip.
