UC1394a-1 Multi-Chip Module
The ultra-compact
UC1394a-1 is the first in a series
of ready to use embedded FireWire peripheral interface devices for
integrating digital hardware, such as cameras, sensors, and other
embedded devices, within a high performance FireWire networking environment. It is implemented
as a 116 pin PLCC
surface mount multi-chip module, which measures only
30mm x 36mm.

On-board DSP, FPGA
and a wide variety of serial, analog, and configurable digital I/O
resources
provide the developer with an extensive range of
plug & play and software programmable capabilities for IEEE 1394 FireWire
connectivity, embedded peripheral control, and signal processing applications.
Key functional
resources within the
UC1394a-1 include a TMS320C5509A DSP, a Xilinx Spartan-II 50kGate FPGA,
TSB12LV32 Link Layer and TSB41AB2 Physical Layer [IEEE 1394a] controllers.
8MBytes of SDRAM and 512kBytes of FLASH ROM provides program and data storage for the DSP and FPGA. |
 |
| Two 400MBit/s
IEEE 1394a ports are provided, together with a wide variety of universal
interfaces to enable integration with a hardware design. These include
a 32MByte/s 16-bit wide plug & play data streaming interface,
RS-232, USB, McBSP, I2C, JTAG, integral analog to digital conversion
for four analog inputs, and user configurable digital I/O. All of
the interfaces are accessed via the PLCC pin connectors. |
