Introduction

FWB-PCI3205 is a three port FireWire 800 (IEEE-1394b) to PCI Host Adapter featuring Texas Instruments
TSB83AA23 IEEE Std 1394b-2002 PHY and OHCI Link Device.

The FWB-PCI3205 is an IEEE Std 1394b-2002 link-layer design and physical layer (PHY) design combined
in a small P.C.B (Printed Circuit Board) to meet the demanding requirements of today’s 1394 bus applications.

The FWB-PCI3205 is capable of exceptional 800-Mbps performance; thus, providing the throughput and
bandwidth to move data efficiently and quickly between the PCI and 1394 buses.

The FWB-PCI3205also provides outstanding ultralow power operation and intelligent power-management capabilities. The device provides the IEEE 1394 LLC function and PHY function and is compatible with 100-Mbps, 200-Mbps, 400-Mbps, and 800-Mbps serial-bus data rates.
