    IEEE 1394, also known as FireWire, is a high-speed serial bus standard that allows for transmission speeds up to 800 Mbps. Unlike USB which is centered around PCs, IEEE 1394 supports multiple devices on the same bus without a PC. It guarantees bandwidth making it suitable for digital video cameras. The physical layer defines the electrical signaling, mechanical connectors, arbitration, and serial data encoding and decoding to transfer data between devices connected by shielded cables at speeds up to 800 Mbps.

    IEEE 1394 (FireWire)

    IEEE 1394 is a standard defining a high speed serial bus. This bus is also named
    FireWire by Apple or i.Link by Sony.

    What exactly is IEEE 1394? It is a serial bus similar in principle to USB, but runs
    at speeds of up to 800 Mbit/s and is not centered around a PC (i.e. there may be none or
    multiple PCs on the same bus). It has a mode of transmission which guarantees
    bandwidth which makes it ideal for digital video cameras and similar devices.

    1394 family of specifications:

    1394 PHY Layer

    • The Physical layer provides the initialization and arbitration services

    – It assures that only one node at a time is sending data

    • The physical layer of the 1394 protocol includes:

    – The electrical signaling

    – The mechanical connectors and cabling

    – The arbitration mechanisms

    – The serial coding and decoding of the data being transferred or received

    – Transfer Speed detection


    1394 PHY

    Standard cable media

    • 3-pair shielded cable • Even smaller for 1394b

    – Two pairs for data transport CMOS transceiver

    – One pair for peripheral power – Differential drive, low voltage, low
    current
    • 2-pair used for most CE equipment
    – DC-coupled for legacy, AC-coupled in
    • Small and rugged connector new Beta mode

    – Two sockets in the same area as one


    mini-DIN socket
