The XIO2200AZHH is an IC (integrated circuit) component, specifically a PCIe-to-1394b (FireWire) controller. This single-chip solution is designed to provide high-speed data transfer between PCI Express (PCIe) and IEEE 1394b (FireWire) devices. It offers several key features that make it a versatile and efficient choice for various applications.
1. PCIe Interface: The XIO2200AZHH is equipped with a PCI Express bus interface, allowing it to be easily integrated into systems with PCIe slots. This enables high-speed data transfer and low latency communication between the controller and the host system.
2. IEEE 1394b/FireWire Support: This IC component supports the IEEE 1394b standard, also known as FireWire 800, which provides fast and reliable data transfer rates of up to 800 Mbps. It allows seamless connectivity with FireWire-enabled devices such as cameras, external hard drives, audio interfaces, and more.
3. Multiple Ports: The XIO2200AZHH features up to three 1394b ports, which can be used simultaneously for connecting multiple FireWire devices. This multi-port capability enhances system flexibility and allows for daisy-chaining of FireWire peripherals.
4. DMA (Direct Memory Access) Support: The IC supports DMA for data transfer, which offloads data movement tasks from the CPU, resulting in reduced CPU utilization and improved overall system performance
