PMCFW2 - IEEE1394 Firewire Controller Module

The PMCFW2 is a three port IEEE1394 Firewire PMC module using Texas TSB12LV26 IEEE1394 OHCI compliant Host controller and TSB41AB3, three port transceiver/arbiter compatible with IEEE1394a-2000, cable supplied from PCI 12V power via a solid state fuse.

Features

• 32-bit PCI single chip IEEE1394 OHCI controller (Texas TSB12LV26).
• Conforming to IEEE1394-1995 and IEEE1394a-2000 for data rates up to 400Mbits/sec.
• Single chip three port cable transceiver/arbiter PHY (Texas TSB41AB03).
• PHY power is taken from either PCI +12V or cable power enabling a powered down PMC module to forward IEEE1394 data packets.
• Alternate power provider (does not supply power to the cable).
• Configuration EEPROM (1Kbit) for PCI subsystem, subsystem vendor ID and other configuration information.
• Conforms to PMC standard IEEE P1386.1/Draft 2.3 9^th October 2000.
• Conforms to PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2.

Applications

• High performance storage interface for industrial PC's or servers.
• Interface to high performance hard disc's.
• Interface to Video equipment for video capture/play-back and editing.
• Interface to document scanners.
