Dual OHCI Compliant 4-port IEEE 1394a FireWire to PCI Express Card Host Adapters featuring Ti TSB43AB22A IEEE 1394 Host Controller
Introduction

The FWx2-PCIE10 is a dual OHCI 1.1 Compliant FireWire (IEEE 1394a) to PCI Express Host Adapter.

FWx2-PCIE10 is designed with two key components.

  • PCI Express to PCI Bus Translation bridge.
  • OHCI 1.1 Compliant IEEE 1394a Single Chip Host Controller.

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 two OHCI 1.1 Compliant IEEE 1394a Single Chip Host Controller (TSB43AB22A). This solution provides full PCI Express and dual 1394a functionality and performance.
