Provides an ideal interconnect

for multimedia applications

Allows the development of true

plug-and- play solutions

Supports UDMA 100 for high

speed data transfers

Ideal for 1394 RAID

configurations

Integrated microprocessor

Applications that benefit from

IEEE 1394 include nonlinear

(digital) video presentation and

editing, desktop 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

network 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 solution 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 Bus Protocol) compliant

firmware is stored in an external ROM (Flash). Supporting data transfers of up to 400

Mb/sec., the INIC-1430 IDE interface supports Ultra DMA (100/66/33) modes making

it feasible to be used in many 1394 applications.

The INIC-1430, in conjunction with an external PHY provides a cost effective solution

to attach ATA/ATAPI devices such as HDD's and CD/DVD devices to the 1394 bus. 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 multiple transmit and receive FIFOs

of the DMA channels allow the INIC-1430 to handle transfers of asynchronous data .

Expandable, easy-to-use and cost-effective, the INIC-1430 gives customers the ability

to meet the challenges of developing markets in new and exciting ways.
