Triple-Port 1394b PCIe OHCI Adapter Card

Triple-Port 1394b PCIe OHCI Adapter Card Overview

The Triple-Port 1394b PCIe OHCI Adapter Card (FW-1x-PCIe-400) is a PCIe x1 lane 1394 (also known as FireWire) implementation using the Texas Instruments XIO2213B OHCI Link Layer and TSB41BA3 PHY. This non-transformer isolated standard PCIe form factor board has three IEEE-1394 Beta ports. The port speed/mode configuration switches allow the maximum port speed to be set to S100β, S200β or S400β.

Triple-Port 1394b PCIe OHCI Adapter Card Features

• Single OHCI IEEE-1394 Beta (1394b) node
• IEEE-1394-2008 compliant
• Three Beta only ports per node supporting:
  • S100β (122.88Mb/s)
  • S200β (245.76Mb/s)
  • S400β (491.52Mb/s)
• Configurable maximum connection speeds of: S100β or S200β or S400β
• Three IEEE-1394 Bilingual Connectors
• Texas Instruments XIO2213B OHCI Link Layer Controller and TSB41BA3 PHY
• Powered via PCIe connector; No external PSU needed
• One Lane PCIe generation 1.1 support

Triple-Port 1394b PCIe OHCI Adapter Card Applications

• Vehicle Software, Hardware, and System emulation labs
• Non-transformer coupled IEEE-1394b desktop computer host adapter
• Flight Control and Mission Systems emulation environments

Triple-Port 1394b PCIe OHCI Adapter Card Benefits

• Uses industry standard Texas Instruments TSB41BA3 Physical Layer and XIO2213B 1394 OHCI Link Layer Controller
• Implemented without transformer isolation to reduce costs
• No power over 1394b I/O cable eliminates power and ground shift concerns
