LASTEST SPECIFICATION

1394b S3200 Electrical Specification

This specification defines the electrical parameters for transmission at S3200 in 1394b Beta mode over short haul copper connections. It is written as an amendment to 1394-2008.

1394 Copper Automotive Standard (Supplement to IDB-1394)

The 1394 Copper Automotive Specification extends the IDB-1394 Automotive Specification to include operation over low-cost, high-performance copper cabling media. It defines the features and mechanisms that provide high-speed extensions in a forward and backward compatible fashion and the ability to signal over single hop distances of up to 8 meters with a minimum of 5 inline connectors, in an automotive environment. Critical vehicle functions and services are addressed that are non-safety related, including but not limited to multimedia and telematics applications at data rates of S400 or S800.

LATEST WHITE PAPER

IEEE1394: versatility, performance, security, flexibility

The advent of digital representations of all media types has fundamentally changed the way consumers use electronic products and blurred the distinction between computers and consumer electronics. Today, consumers demand products that interoperate whether a device lives in the office or the living room. IEEE 1394 remains the single best interconnect across the range of computer, data storage, consumer electronic, and service-provider supplied products in terms of performance and versatility. This paper provides a complete review of these features, including the results of recent benchmark tests and a heads-up about the future of 1394 and related products.
