TI offers first 1394 design kits Texas Instruments offers the industry's first broad range of affordably priced 1394 design kits. These kits will help designers of computer, consumer electronics and telecommunications systems develop products incorporating the 1394 technology. As the first company to offer 1394 silicon, TI continues in its leadership role of providing 1394 solutions by offering five design kits. A PCI to 1394 kit with a TI digital signal processor (DSP) is planned for the near future. Each kit contains one evaluation board, one 1394 cable, software and programmers guide, data books, setup instructions/schematics and information about the 1394 Trade Association. Kits are available here or by calling (800) 317-8354. 1394 design kits PCILynx™and 200 Mbps PHY -- PCI/1394 value board (TSBKPCI) Features: serial EEPROM, power circuit, Windows 95™drivers, 1394 Bus Manager and Transaction Layer software. Price: $275 PCILynx and 200 Mbps PHY -- PCI/1394 feature-rich board (TSBKPCITST) Features: Zoom Video signals on header, test connectors, SRAM, serial and flash EEPROM, power circuit, room for additional circuitry, Windows 95 drivers, 1394 Bus Manager and Transaction Layer software. Price: $1,000 PCI 100 Mbps Card (TSBKPCI12C01A) Features: Uses the PCI Bus so designer can communicate with TI's TSB12CO1A link layer controller and TI's 100 Mbps, 3-port, 1394 physical layer device. The kit includes Windows 95 and Windows™3.1 sample software to allow the link layer controller registers to be examined and modified. This software can be used to run Sony's new 1394 desktop camera. Price: $1,000 Backplane Card and 200 Mbps PHY (TSBKBACKPL) Features: Three TSB12C01A link layer controllers connected to a backplane, 100 Mbps and 200 Mbps cable ports. Card is controlled by the TMS320C52 DSP and includes example "C" software to transmit and receive packets (DMA). Price: $2,000 100 Mbps Peripheral Card (TSBKPRPHRL) Features: ISA (PC/104) expansion I/F, RS232 I/F, and Voice Band A/D converter. Card is controlled by a TMS320C52 DSP and includes example "C" software to transmit and receive packets (DMA). Price: $1,000
