DESCRIPTION
TheIDT88P8344isaSPI(SystemPacketInterface)ExchangewithfourSPI-
3 interfaces and one SPI-4 interface. The data that enter on the low speed
interface (SPI-3) are mapped to logical identifiers (LIDs) and enqueued for
transmission over the high speed interface (SPI-4). The data that enter on the
high speed interface (SPI-4) are mapped to logical identifiers (LIDs) and
enqueued for transmission over a low speed interface (SPI-3). A data flow
betweenSPI-3andSPI-4interfacesisaccomplishedwithLIDmaps.Thelogical
port addresses and number of entries in the LID maps may be dynamically
configured. Various parameters of a data flow may be configured by the user
such as buffer memory size and watermarks. In a typical application, the
IDT88P8344 enables connection of multiple SPI-3 devices to a SPI-4 network
processor. In other applications SPI-3 or SPI-4 devices may be connected to
multiple SPI-3 network processors or traffic managers.
