FireWire to IDE bridge chip supports RAID
Firmware enhancements to the popular OXFW911 FireWire to IDE bridge chip enable the development of simple, low cost RAID storage products for personal and small business application.
Integrated solution for high-speed data streaming
Combining an 800Mbit/s 1394B link layer and PHY controller with a 480Mbit/s USB2.0 PHY, the OXUF922 programmable bridge chip provides a fully integrated solution for high-speed data streaming.
With an optimised host controller and transaction translator, the OXU210HP offers complete backwards compatibility with full-speed (12Mbit/s) and low-speed (1.5Mbit/s) USB devices.
Enabling a non-PC product to act as host and sync or transfer files with a high-speed USB peripheral, the OXU210HP also gives the product the ability to act as a peripheral in order to sync with a PC or other host device.
Where space is at a premium, the chip's On-The-Go controller provides both host and peripheral connectivity through a single mini port.
For added system flexibility, the chip offers simultaneous operation of both ports.
The OXU210HP is supported with USB device drivers and the Oxford Semiconductor USBLink product suite, which includes USBLink host, peripheral and On-The-Go stacks ported to a wide variety of RTOS.
In addition, low-level controller drivers for other native USB stacks, such as Windows and Linux, are available.
Providing 16 and 32bit processor interfaces, the OXU210HP is compatible with a wide range of CPUs.
The integration of 72Kbyte of SRAM provides data transfer buffer space to help reduce interrupts and minimise CPU overhead.
Power management features include multiple clock domains and three power states.
Sampling now, the OXU210HP is available in 128-pin LQFP and 84-ball BGA packages and is priced at US $5.5 in 10,000-unit volumes.
