IEEE 1394 FireWire

This product family
supports FireWire


FireWire Interface Options

IEEE 1394 FireWire support is provided as standard or as an option for most micro-line embedded DSP hardware configurations. It provides a high speed next-generation network topology and communications protocol that operates at 100, 200, or 400MBits/s.

Guaranteed bandwidth is provided for mission critical applications, with live connect/disconnect and many other impressing features to provide a fast, reliable, durable and universal interconnection between micro-line systems, host computers, digital cameras, and and I/O devices.

It is particularly useful for for implement distributed networks consisting of multiple embedded micro-line DSP resources.

IIDC Protcol support is optionally available for imaging applications, allowing IIDC 1934a compatible FireWire cameras to be controlled an their image data captured by embedded micro-line DSP systems for real-time image processing.

C6x11CPU Systems

C6x11CPU boards provide developers with a straight forward embedded DSP board capability in a small form factor configuration. These boards can be complemented with an optional IEEE 1394 communications capability, in the form of the SC1394a FireWire interface module which plugs onto the C6x11CPU board.

Adding Peripherals via FireWire

FireWire is either a standard or optional capability with most micro-line DSP boards, offering a flexible 400MBit/sec high bandwidth serial communications capability with excellent real-time behavior.

A diverse range of commercially available FireWire devices are available and can be integrated within an embedded micro--line DSP System. Examples include Digital Cameras, Scanning devices, and Printers.

For developers wanting to integrate their own peripheral devices with FireWire, the UC1394a ultra-compact multi-chip module provides an ideal solution.

Taking the form of a 30mm x 36mm 116-pin PLCC surface mount component, the ultra-compact series of multi-chip module provide everything needed to integrate just about any sensor or application interface within a FireWire networking environment.
