Chapter 1 Overview

This chapter explains the overview of MB86617A.
MB86617A is Fujitsu's IEEE1394 serial bus controller based on both IEEE1394 Standard (IEEE Std. 1394-1995) and P1394.a
Standard Draft (rev.2.0).
This MB86617A has three ports for network under the 1394 cable environment, differential transceiver, and comparator, and the
transfer data rate supports S400.
MB86617A integrates PHY and LINK layers into single-chip, and plans for degression of component side product and saving power
consumption.
MB86617A has two exclusive ports (one is the combined use for receiving a message of interface for DV) for MPEG2 and DSS data
transfer, and performs isolating and packeting of Header and Data department with these two ports automatically. This function is
suited for maintaining continuum of transfer.
