ultra-compact multi-chip modules

ultra-compact multi-chip modules are ready-to-use FireWire peripheral interface devices for integrating digital hardware, such as cameras, sensors, and other embedded devices, within a high-performance FireWire networking environment.

ultra-compact multi-chip modules

Implemented as tiny (30x36mm) surface mount PLCC devices, they combine all of the resources necessary to interface and control just about any hardware peripheral. On-board DSP, FPGA, and a wide variety of serial, analog, and configurable digital I/O resources provide the developer with a diverse range of plug & play and software programmable capabilities for IEEE 1394 FireWire connectivity, embedded peripheral control, signal and image processing applications.
