FireCore is a leading solution within the domain of synthesizable IEEE-1394-2008 components, integrating both PHY and Link Layer Controller functionality in a single product. Geared to support data rates from S100 up to S3200, it seamlessly combines the data capture, verification, and analysis strengths into one robust engine. FireCore enhances flexibility through various host interface options and PIN density configurations, making it suitable for diverse applications such as avionics and multimedia.
FireCore's architecture is aimed at isolating the usual issues associated with off-the-shelf silicon and providing complete control over customization and optimization in-field. This means that users can readily adapt and upgrade their systems as needed, without the usual port, speed, or version constraints typical of commercial solutions. Key features include powerful error-handling, efficient bus management, flexible host connectivity, and both isochronous and asynchronous packet types, all with fast virtual-path computations.
A further advancement is the AS5643 integration, which allows the device to support highly demanding aerospace and defense systems. Through direct support for the Mil1394 protocol, FireCore can be tailored for systems that demand reliability and precision, impacting sectors needing meticulous testing and sophisticated network architecture management.
