Applications that benefit from
IEEE 1394 include nonlinear
(digital) video presentation and
editing, des top and commercial
publishing, document imaging,
home multimedia, and personal
computing. The low overhead, high
data rates of 1394, the ability to
mix real-time and asynchronous
data on a single connection, and
the ability to mix low speed and
high speed devices on the same
networ provides a truly universal
connection for almost any
consumer, computer, or peripheral
application.
The Initio INIC-1430 is a third generation UDMA 100 ATA-to-1394a bridge controller
that provides a sol tion to connect ATAPI or ATA devices to IEEE-1394a-2000 interfaces.
It is designed to accelerate the time-to-market for 1394 capable peripheral devices
by integrating an already proven 1394a-2000 core and microprocessor with the
necessary IDE interface into a single ASIC. The SBP-2 (Serial B s Protocol) compliant
firmware is stored in an external ROM (Flash). S pporting data transfers of p to 400
Mb/sec., the INIC-1430 IDE interface s pports Ultra DMA (100/66/33) modes making
it feasible to be sed in many 1394 applications.
The INIC-1430, in conj nction with an external PHY provides a cost effective sol tion
to attach ATA/ATAPI devices s ch as HDD's and CD/DVD devices to the 1394 b s. The
firmware extracts ATA, MMC-2/3 and RBC command sets from the SBP-2 transport
layer and passes them to the ATA devices. The m ltiple transmit and receive FIFOs
of the DMA channels allow the INIC-1430 to handle transfers of asynchrono s data .
Expandable, easy-to- se and cost-effective, the INIC-1430 gives c stomers the ability
to meet the challenges of developing markets in new and exciting ways.
