FireCard 400™

General Specification

• Fully compliant with provisions of IEEE Std 1394-1995 for a high-performance serial bus and IEEE Std 1394a-2000
• Fully interoperable with FireWire and i.LINK implementations of IEEE Std 1394
• Full IEEE Std 1394a-2000 support includes: connection debounce, arbitrated short reset, multispeed concatenation, arbitration acceleration, fly-by concatenation, and port disable/suspend/resume PCI and CardBus register support

1394 Ports :

Two IEEE Std 1394a-2000 fully compliant cable ports at 100Mbits/sec, 200Mbits/sec and 400Mbits/sec for flexible peripheral interconnection. Cable ports monitor line conditions for active connection to remote node.

Design Issues

• Separate cable bias (TPBIAS) for each port
• PCI burst transfers and deep FIFOs to tolerate large host latency
• Extended resume signaling for compatibility with legacy DV components
• Low-cost 24.576-MHz crystal provides transmit and receive data at 100Mbits/sec, 200Mbits/sec and 400Mbits/sec
• Serial 2-wire EEPROM interface for product configuration

Mechanical

• Card Size: 119mm x 54mm x 15mm (4.69" x 2.13" x 0.6")
• TYPE II CardBus PC card package

Low Power Specifications

• Compliant with Intel Mobile Power Guideline 2000
• Power-down features to conserve energy in battery-powered applications include: automatic device power down during suspend, PCI power management for link-layer and inactive ports powered down
• Ultralow-power sleep mode
• Node power class information signaling for system power management

Humidity :

10% to 90% non condensing

Operating Temperature :

0°C to 70°C
