Description
The Agere Systems FW801BF device provides the analog physical layer functions needed to implement a one-port node in a cable-based IEEE 1394-1995 and IEEE 1394a-2000 network.

Distinguishing Features
■ Compliant with IEEE® Standard 1394a-2000, IEEE Standard for a High Performance Serial Bus Amendment 1.
■ Low power consumption during powerdown or microlow-power sleep mode.
■ Supports extended BIAS_HANDSHAKE time for enhanced interoperability with camcorders.
■ While unpowered and connected to the bus, will not drive TPBIAS on a connected port even if receiving incoming bias voltage on that port.
■ Does not require external filter capacitors for PLL.
■ Does not require a separate 5 V supply for 5 V link controller interoperability.
■ Interoperable across 1394 cable with 1394 physical layers (PHY) using 5 V supplies.
■ Interoperable with 1394 link-layer controllers using 5 V supplies.
■ 1394a-2000 compliant common mode noise filter on incoming TPBIAS.
■ Powerdown features to conserve energy in battery-powered applications include the following:
    — Device powerdown ball.
    — Link interface disable using LPS.
    — Inactive ports power down.
    — Automatic microlow-power sleep mode during suspend.
■ Interface to link-layer controller supports Annex J electrical isolation as well as bus-keeper isolation.

Features
■ Provides one fully compliant cable port at 100 Mbits/s, 200 Mbits/s, and 400 Mbits/s.
■ Fully supports 1394 Open HCI requirements.
■ Supports arbitrated short bus reset to improve utilization of the bus.
■ Supports ack-accelerated arbitration and fly-by concatenation.
■ Supports connection debounce.
■ Supports multispeed packet concatenation.
■ Supports PHY pinging and remote PHY access packets.
■ Fully supports suspend/resume.
■ Supports PHY-link interface initialization and reset.
■ Supports 1394a-2000 register set.
■ Supports LPS/link-on as a part of PHY-link interface.
■ Supports provisions of IEEE 1394-1995 Standard for a High Performance Serial Bus.
■ Fully interoperable with FireWire® and i.LINK® implementations of IEEE 1394-1995.
■ Reports cable power fail interrupt when voltage at CPS ball falls below 7.5 V.
■ Provides separate cable bias and driver termination voltage supply for port.

Other Features
■ 48-ball VTFSBGAC package.
■ Single 3.3 V supply operation.
■ Data interface to link-layer controller provided through 2/4/8 parallel lines at 50 Mbits/s.
■ 25 MHz crystal oscillator and PLL provide a 50 MHz link-layer controller clock as well as transmit/receive data at 100 Mbits/s, 200 Mbits/s, and 400 Mbits/s.
■ Multiple separate package signals provided for analog and digital supplies and grounds.
