Scottsdale, Arizona – May 5, 2008 -Tundra Semiconductor Corporation (TSX: TUN), a leader in System Interconnect, announces that VMETRO, a leader in embedded computing solutions, has selected Tundra’s Tsi578™ Serial RapidIO® Switch for its new Quad-Core Processing Engine and Single Board Computer. VMETRO recently launched two new 6U VPX-REDI offerings, which use the Tsi578 for large-scale DSP aggregation and also Tundra’s Tsi148™ VME Bridge, the highest bandwidth VMEbus bridge available today.

“RapidIO is the fabric of choice for our customers’ embedded multi-processing applications and RapidIO switches from Tundra are the ideal interconnect choice for VMETRO. By using Tundra’s Tsi578 RapidIO switch, our VPX multi-processor boards provide a system fabric with the features our customers demand – low latency, low overhead, high throughput, peer-to-peer communication, reliability, and scalability. No other fabric offers this complete set of features,” said Mike Jadon, Chief Technology Officer, Embedded Products for VMETRO, Inc. “Customer’s deploying VMETRO’s new MPE730 and SBC731 with RapidIO across the VPX backplane will get the performance and reliability they need for their multi-processing applications,” continued Jadon.

“VMETRO’s selection of the Tsi578 demonstrates the positive market response to our leading edge products,” said Tracy Richardson, Vice President Marketing, Tundra Semiconductor. “In addition to using Tundra’s industry-leading VME Bridge, the Tsi148, Critical Embedded System customers are now making use of RapidIO Switches to enhance performance and add scalability to their next generation designs.”

VMETRO’s MPE730 is a VPX-REDI quad-core processing board with dual PMC/XMC mezzanine sites and on-board Serial RapidIO and PCI Express® fabric connectivity. Utilizing dual Freescale Power ArchitectureTM MPC8641D processors, the four cores provide significant processing power while still meeting rugged, extended temperature convection and conduction-cooled requirements. Combining this processing power with the flexibility of dual PMC/XMC sites and the Serial RapidIO fabric enables powerful distributed multi-processing subsystems to be deployed and customized for a variety of applications such as radar and signal intelligence.

VMETRO’s SBC731 is a VPX-REDI PowerPC™ single board computer with dual PMC/XMC mezzanine sites and on-board Serial RapidIO and PCI Express fabric connectivity. Utilizing a single Freescale MPC8641D processor while maintaining the same PMC/XMC, I/O and interconnect capabilities of the MPE730, the SBC731 is suitable for host board applications such as mission and control processors.
