Hi,
I'm designing an external computer audio interface (192 kHz, 24 bit,
stereo using the Cirrus CS5381 ADC) and, I'd like to connect it using
firewire.
I'd thought of using an Oxford Semi OXFW... chip, but they got taken
over by some outfit called PLX last year and all I can find is NAS/DAS
storage chips (SATA) and PCI(e) bridges...
What I was looking for was the simplest sort of serial to FW bridge.
I suppose a TI TSB41AB1 transceiver and TSB12LV01B link layer controller
(plus serdes used the wrong way round?) would do it, but (as an amateur)
I'm wondering whether I'll be able to get this going without the IEEE
standard since the datasheet for the TSB12LV01B does fairly warn
"This document is not intended to serve as a tutorial on 1394; users are
referred to the IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus standard for detailed
information regarding the 1394 high-speed serial bus."
I guess I'll end up using the FT2232H USB Hi-Speed UART ... :-(
Thanks,
colin
