Digital Interface Standards
1394a and 1394b (Firewire™)- As the market leader for 1394 (Firewire), TI’s portfolio offers many solutions to meet your needs --from integrated 1394 products to discrete PHYs and Links. As a multi-media network standard, 1394 is perfectly-suited for consumer electronics, computers and peripherals. 1394 is also ideal for situations that benefit from true peer-to-peer operation and maximum flexibility.
PCI Express- With PHYs, Bridges, Switches, and End-points, TI offers an ever-growing selection of PCI Express® devices. PCI Express delivers the best features and ideas from PCI and combines them with TI’s more than 10 years of industry experience. The result: a robust, scalable, flexible and cost-effective I/O interconnect that is ready to serve users for decades to come.
USB- TI's high-performance Universal Serial Bus (USB) portfolio includes fully-compliant hub controllers, peripheral devices and power management products. In addition to its broad range of silicon solutions, TI has experience working with customers to solve problems, simplify designs and deliver products to market faster. USB is available in three speeds: low-speed (1.5 Mbps), full-speed (12 Mbps or USB 1.1), and high-speed (480 Mbps or USB 2.0). All three speeds offer both asynchronous and isochronous (real-time) data transmission over a simple and inexpensive four-wire cable. This design meets the requirements of many peripherals, including a: keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner, speakers, external storage devices and digital still cameras.
UART- As an industry-leading supplier of Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitters (UARTs), TI gives you the design ability to increase performance in next-generation applications. TI offers a wide portfolio of single-, dual-, and quad-channel UARTs in highly-integrated, space-saving configurations. These configurations allow an increase in system performance and a decrease in space requirements. Applications such as telecommunication base stations and cell phones, PCs, fax servers and rack modems can all benefit from TI's high-performance UARTs. As one of the world's leading high-volume semiconductor manufacturers, TI provides designers and OEMs the satisfaction of knowing they are backed by a company with the resources to meet their needs across the glove. These resources include dedicated marketing and technical support teams to support them.
