2-port FireWire800 to PCI Express Host Adapter - FWB-PCIE10

FWB-PCIE10 Host Adapter

2-port FireWire800 to PCI Express Host Adapter

The FWB-PCIE10 is a 2-port OHCI 1.1 Compliant FireWire800 (IEEE 1394b) to PCI Express Host Adapter.

FWB-PCIE10 is designed with three key components:

  • PCI Express to PCI Bus Translation bridge
  • Texas Instruments TSB82AA2 - IEEE 1394b OHCI-Lynx Controller
  • Texas Instruments TSB81BA3 - IEEE 1394b 3-port Cable Transceiver/Arbiter

The PCI Express to PCI local bus translation bridge takes advantages of the 2.5 Gb/s burst rate of 1-lane PCI Express bus and the PCI bus interface is connected to a IEEE 1394b OHCI-Lynx host controller and a three-port 1394b PHY. This solution provides full PCI Express and 1394b functionality and performance.
