µ PD72891,72893
IEEE1394 Link Layer Controller with DV Codec
Description
The µPD72891 and 72893 are a IEEE1394 link layer controllers developed for digital AV systems and feature an on-
chip 32-bit RISC CPU (V850E) for IEEE1394 processing.
These link layer controllers have two stream interface channels to transmit/receive image data conforming to the
IEC61883 Standard, such as MPEG and DV, and these channels can be independently used for transmission and
reception. In addition, a total of 8 Kbytes of FIFO buffer space is provided to transmit/receive isochronous signals. This
buffer space can be allocated as transmit and receive FIFO buffers in 2 Kbytes units.
The µPD72891 and 72893 support IEEE1394 bus control and AV/C commands via the on-chip CPU, as well as
external control using either a serial or a parallel interface.
