VT6306

Note: Stress above the conditions listed may cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation of this device should be restricted to the conditions described under operating conditions.

The VT6306 IEEE 1394 OHCI Host Controller provides high performance serial connectivity. It implements the Link and Phy layers for IEEE 1394-1995 High Performance Serial Bus and 1394a Draft 4.0. It is compliant with 1394 Open HCI 1.0 and 1.1 with DMA engine support for high performance data transfer via a 32-bit bus master PCI host bus interface.

The VT6306 supports 100, 200 and 400 Mbit/sec transmission via an integrated 3-port PHY. The VT6306 services two types of data packets: asynchronous and isochronous (real time). The 1394 link core performs arbitration requesting, packet generation and checking, and bus cycle master operations. It also has root node capability and performs retry operations.

The VT6306 is ready to provide industry-standard IEEE 1394 peripheral connections for desktop and mobile PC platforms. Support for the VT6306 is built into Microsoft Windows 98, Windows ME, and Windows 2000.
