FireBoard800™ is a 64bit PCI OHCI Host Adapter capable of exceptional 800Mbit/sec performance, providing the throughput and bandwidth to move data efficiently and quickly between the PCI and 1394 busses. This board also provides outstanding ultra-low power operation and intelligent power management capabilities, being compliant with all the latest 1394, OHCI and PCI specification/standards.

FireBoard800™ operates as the interface between a selectable 64-bit 33-MHz or 32-bit 33-MHz PCI Local Bus and a compatible 1394b bus. Its PHY-layer device is capable supporting serial data rates of s400 and s800.

Unibrain's FireBoard800™ offers the following features:

• Fully Supports Provisions of IEEE P1394b revision 1.33 at 1Gigabit Signaling Rates
• Fully Supports Provisions of IEEE 1394a-2000 and 1394-1995 Standard for High Performance Serial Bus.
• Fully Compliant with Open HCI Requirements
• Provides Three Fully backward compatible (1394a- 2000 Fully-Compliant), Bilingual 1394b Cable Ports at up to 800 Megabits per second (Mbits/sec)
• Cable Power Presence Monitoring
• Cable Ports Monitor Line Conditions for Active Connection to Remote Node
• 3.3V and 5V PCI bus signaling
• 33-MHz/64-Bit and 33-MHz/32-Bit selectable PCI interface
• Power Management Interface Specification
• Implements PCI burst transfers and deep FIFOs to tolerate large host latency:
- Transmit FIFO-3K asynchronous
- Transmit FIFO-2K isochronous
- Receive FIFO-2K asynchronous
- Receive FIFO-2K isochronous
• Serial Data Rates: 400Mbits/sec and 800Mbits/sec

FireBoard800™ can transmit FireWire data at rates of up to 800Mbps, equivalent to 100MB/sec!
