Introduction
The IOI-4601 is a dual OHCI 1.1 Compliant FireWire (IEEE 1394a) to PCI Host Adapter.

IOI-4601 is designed with two key components.

  • PCI-to-PCI bridge.
  • OHCI 1.1 Compliant IEEE 1394a Single Chip Host Controller.

The PCI-to-PCI bridge takes advantages of the 133MB/s burst rate of primary PCI bus and the secondary PCI bus interface is connected to two OHCI 1.1 Compliant IEEE 1394a Single Chip Host Controller (TSB43AB22A). This solution provides full PCI and dual 1394a functionality and performance.

IOI-4601 delivers the performance and connectivity required for servers and I/O demanding applications such as CD-ROM servers, Video-On-Demand, database servers, workstations, high-end desktops, software RAID sub systems, and image systems. On a single PCI slot, connecting up to 126 devices. It transfers data rate up to 50 MBytes/second per independent channel and takes advantages of the 133MB/s burst rate of PCI bus to provide unmatched I/O performance.
