IEEE 1394 (F
The IEEE 1394 connector, also known as iLink
is a serial bus standard used for rapid digital data exchange.
A
PPLICATION
•
Connection of digital devices of the entertainment
industry, such as set-top speakers, digital video
and camcorder, 'Digital Video Disk' (DVD), televi-
sion etc.
•
Multimedia applications and video processing.
•
Input and output devices such as printers, scan-
ners, etc.
T
ECHNICAL
•
Depending on the application, the maximum data
transfer is about 100, 200 or 400 Mbit/s, corre-
sponding to a data throughput of up to 50 MB per
second.
•
The device can be plugged in or unplugged during
operation (hot plugging).
•
The standardized cord ('Shielded Twisted Pair' -
STP) includes 6 strands. Two lines are live (8V up
to 40V, 1.5 A max.) and can be used as an exter-
nal power supply. The four signal lines transfer
data or control information. Some devices do not
require a power supply via the cord so that four
pole plugs are used.
•
The voltage output of the 6-pole IEEE 1394 jack is
protected by a fuse (limited power source accord-
ing to EN60950).
