DESCRIPTION
The PDI1394P23 provides the digital and analog transceiver functions needed to implement a two/one port node in a cable-based IEEE 1394–1995 and/or 1394a–2000 network. Each cable port incorporates two differential line transceivers. The transceivers include circuitry to monitor the line conditions as needed for determining connection status, for initialization and arbitration, and for packet reception and transmission. The PDI1394P23 is designed to interface with a Link Layer Controller (LLC), such as the PDI1394L40, or PDI1394L41.

FEATURES
• Fully supports provisions of IEEE 1394–1995 Standard for high performance serial bus and the P1394a–2000 Standard.1
• Fully interoperable with Firewire and i.LINK implementations of the IEEE 1394 Standard.2
• Full P1394a support includes:
    – Connection debounce
    – Arbitrated short reset
    – Multispeed concatenation
    – Arbitration acceleration
    – Fly-by concatenation
    – Port disable/suspend/resume
• Provides two 1394a fully-compliant cable ports at 100/200/400 Mbps.
• Fully compliant with Open HCI requirements
• Interface to link-layer controller supports both low-cost bus-holder isolation and optional Annex J electrical isolation
• Supports extended bias-handshake time for enhanced interoperability with camcorders
• Data interface to link-layer controller through 2/4/8 parallel lines at 49.152 MHz
• Register bits give software control of contender bit, power class bits, link active bit, and 1394a features
• Cable ports monitor line conditions for active connection to remote node.
• Separate cable bias (TPBIAS) for each port
• Logic performs system initialization and arbitration functions
• Encode and decode functions included for data-strobe bit level encoding
• Incoming data resynchronized to local clock
• Single 3.3 volt supply operation
• Minimum VDD of 2.7 V for end-of-wire power-consuming devices
• Interoperable with link-layer controllers using 3.3 V and 5 V supplies
• Interoperable with other Physical Layers (PHYs) using 3.3 V and 5 V supplies
• Node power class information signaling for system power management
• Cable power presence monitoring
• Power down features to conserve energy in battery-powered applications include:
    – Automatic device power down during suspend
    – Device power down terminal
    – Link interface disable via LPS
    – Inactive ports powered-down
• While unpowered and connected to the bus, will not drive TPBIAS on a connected port, even if receiving incoming bias voltage on that port
• Can be used as a one port PHY without the use of any extra external components
• Low-cost 24.576 MHz crystal provides transmit, receive data at 100/200/400 Mbps, and link-layer controller clock at 49.152 MHz
• Does not require external filter capacitors for PLL
• LQFP package is function and pin compatible with the Texas Instruments TSB41LV02AE and TSB41AB2E 400 Mbps PHYs.
