03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology2INTRODUCTIONPOWERFUL TECHNOLOGY FROM A POWERFUL COLLABORATION Incredibly fast input/output technology.Close technical collaboration between Intel and Apple.Thunderbolts first appearance in Apples MacBookPro.Thunderbolt the most powerful, most flexible I/O technology ever in a personalcomputer.

03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology33Whats thunderbolt(TB)?Thunderbolt is new, high-speed, dual-protocol I/O technology.Interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via anexpansion bus.High speed data transfer technology based on an Intel project called Light Peak, which replaces copper-based connections with optic fibres.Supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices through a single, compact port.New breakthrough technology that allows you to daisy chain multiple devices (up to 6 devices) together.

One Small Port- One Giant Leap In Possibilities.All Thunderbolt devices use the same connector (unlikeUSBtechnology) so you can connect one device to another with interoperable cables.just need one Thunderbolt port to chain them all, dont have to worry how many USB ports your computer comes with, and whether you need a USB hub or not.


High-resolution display and high-speed peripherals with one compact port. Since, Thunderbolt is based on two fundamental technologies: PCI Express and DisplayPort.PCI Express links all high-performance components in a Mac. And its built into Thunderbolt. Means you can connect external devices like RAID arrays and video capture solutions directly to MacBook Pro and get PCI Express performance.With PCI Express, you can use existing USB and FireWire peripherals even connect toGigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks using simple adapters.03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology6COMPONENT OVERVIEWThunderbolt technology works on data streams in both directions, at the same time, so users get the benefit of full bandwidth in both directions, over a single cable.

The two independent channels, provide a full 10Gbps bandwidth for the first device, as well as additional downstream devices.

03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology7ContinuedAll Thunderbolt devices share a common connector, allowing users to daisy chain devices one after another with interoperable cables.Thunderbolt ports can supply power to connected devices, which can pass power through down the chain.With this technology users can get real-time processing by synchronizing high-bandwidth audio and video between PCs and other devices, cutting the lag time that exists with other technologies. 03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology8Continued03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology9

03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology10 PROTOCOL ARCHITECTURE

03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology1103-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology12Physical Layer->for link maintainence including hot-plug detection and data encoding to provide highly efficient data transfer.

Electrical/Optical layer->TB cables may be electrical or optical; both use the same TB connector. electrical-only cable provides for connections up to 3 meters in length, active optical cable provides for much greater lengths; tens of meters.

Transport Layer->heart of TB protocol architecture.

03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology13DisplayPort and PCI Express protocols are mapped onto the transport layer. The mapping function is provided by a protocol adapter ,responsible for efficient encapsulation into transport layer.Mapped protocol packets between source device & destination device may be routed over a path that may cross multiple Thunderbolt controllers. At the destination device, a protocol adapter recreates the mapped protocol in a way that is indistinguishable from what was received by the source device.

03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology14CONTROLLER ARCHITECTUREHost-side TB controllers have one or more DisplayPort input interfaces, a PCI Express interface, along with one or more Thunderbolt technology interface.


03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology16Thunderbolt controller ->building block used to create Thunderbolt products.Thunderbolt controller contains: A high-performance, cross-bar Thunderbolt protocol switch.One or more Thunderbolt portsOne or more DisplayPort protocol adapter portsA PCI Express switch with one or more PCI Express protocol adapter ports

CHARACTERISTICSThunderbolt technology is a new, high-speed, dual-protocol I/O technology designed for performance, simplicity and flexibility.

High speed data transfer technology has got the following features:

->Dual-channel at 10Gbps per channel->Dual-protocol(PCI Express and Display Port)->Compatible with existing Display Port devices->Daisy-chained devices

03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology1703-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology18->Electrical or optical cables->Uses native protocol software drivers->Power over cable for bus-powered devices

Supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices through a single, compact port.provides native support for theApple TB displayand Mini DisplayPort displays. HIGH PERFORMANCE ON DISPLAYIt also supports DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, and VGA displays through the use of existing adapters.

So you can connect your Apple LED Cinema Display or other display, along with multiple high-speed devices, all from a single port.

Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology,which is the video standard for high-resolution displays.03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology19

03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology20HIGH SPEED DATA TRANSFERworks on data streams in both directions, at the same time, so users get the benefit of full bandwidth in both directions, over a single cable.

No sharing of bandwidth between ports or between upstream and downstream directions.

The two independent channels, provide a full 10Gbps bandwidth for the first device, as well as additional downstream devices.

03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology21TB is bi-directional, means that you can transfer and receive data at the same time, both with the same 10Gbps bandwidth .it take a mere 30 seconds to transfer a full-length HD movies .a mere 10 minutes to transfer a year of continuous MP3 playback.you can now transfer them in/out at lightning speed.


TB combines high-speed data and HD video connections onto a single cable by using PCI Express for data transfer and DisplayPort for HD video. TB is compatible with DisplayPort displays and adapters , can drive greater than 1080p resolution displays and up to eight channels of audio simultaneously.All devices supporting TB technology share a common connector, and let individuals simply daisy chain their devices one after another connected by electrical (copper cable) or optical (optical fiber) cables.

03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology23 CONCLUSIONFastest I/O technology that supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices through a single, compact port. Mapping two of the most fundamental I/O protocols at the heart of computing (PCI Express and DisplayPort).Thunderbolt technology opens doors to entirely new system and product designs.03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology24!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!03-Aug-15ThunderBolt Technology25
