DescriptionThe TSB83AA22A is an IEEE Std 1394b-2002 link-layer design and Phy design combined in a single package to meet the demanding requirements of today's 1394 bus applications. The TSB83AA22A device 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 TSB83AA22A device also 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.
The TSB83AA22A operates as the interface between 33-MHz/32-bit PCI local bus and an IEEE Std 1394a-2000 or IEEE Std 1394b-2002 serial bus interface. It is capable of supporting serial data rates at 98.304, 196.608, 393.216, 491.52, or 786.432 Mbps (referred to as S100, S200, S400, S400B, or S800 speeds, respectively). When acting as a PCI bus master, the TSB83AA22A device is capable of multiple cacheline bursts of data, which can transfer at 132M bytes/s for 32-bit transfers after connecting to the memory controller.
Due to the high throughput potential of the TSB83AA22A device, it possible to encounter large PCI and legacy 1394 bus latencies, which can cause the 1394 data to be overrun. To overcome this potential problem, the TSB83AA22A implements deep transmit and receive FIFOs (see Section 1.1, Features, for FIFO size information) to buffer the 1394 data, thus preventing possible problems due to bus latency. This also ensures that the device can transmit and receive sustained maximum-size isochronous or asynchronous data payloads at S800.
The TSB83AA22A LLC section implements other performance enhancements to improve overall performance of the device, such as: a highly tuned physical data path for enhanced SBP-2 performance, physical post writing buffers, multiple isochronous contexts, and advanced internal arbitration.
The TSB83AA22A LLC section also implements hardware enhancements to better support digital video (DV) and MPEG data stream reception and transmission. These enhancements are enabled through the isochronous receive digital video enhancements register at TI extension offset A80h (see Section 6.3.4, Isochronous Receive Digital Video Enhancements Register). These enhancements include automatic time stamp insertion for transmitted DV and MPEG-formatted streams and common isochronous packet (CIP) header stripping for received DV streams.
The CIP format is defined by the IEC 61883-1:1998 specification. The enhancements to the isochronous data contexts are implemented as hardware support for the synchronization timestamp for both DV and audio/video CIP formats. The TSB83AA22A device supports modification of the synchronization timestamp field to ensure that the value inserted via software is not stale - that is, less than the current cycle timer when the packet is transmitted.
The TSB83AA22A performance and enhanced throughput make it an excellent choice for today's 1394 PC market; however, the portable, mobile, and even today's desktop PCs power management schemes continue to require devices to use less and less power, and Texas Instrument's 1394 product line has continued to raise the bar by providing the lowest-power 1394 devices in the industry. The TSB83AA22A device represents the next evolution of Texas Instruments commitment to meet the challenge of power-sensitive applications. The TSB83AA22A device has ultralow operational power requirements and intelligent power management capabilities that allow it to conserve power autonomously based on the device usage. The TSB83AA22A LLC section fully supports D0, D1, D2, and D3hot/cold power states as specified in the PC 2001 Design Guide requirements and the PCI Power Management Specification. PME wake event support is subject to operating system support and implementation.
