Evaluation for ARM-based bridge chip
A new IDE bridge board from Oxford Semiconductor provides "plug and go" evaluation of the OXUF922 bridge chip in FireWire 800 (IEEE1394b) and USB 2.0 compliant hard disk drive applications.
A new IDE bridge board from Oxford Semiconductor provides "plug and go" evaluation of the OXUF922 bridge chip in FireWire 800 (IEEE1394b) and USB 2.0 compliant hard disk drive applications By connecting the EV-OXUF922-1394B-800 evaluation board into an ATA/ATAPI drive via a standard IDE cable and applying power, users can instantly create a high speed FireWire 800 or USB 2.0 drive

Integrated solution for high-speed data streaming
Combining an 800Mbit/s 1394B link layer and PHY controller with a 480Mbit/s USB2.0 PHY, the OXUF922 programmable bridge chip provides a fully integrated solution for high-speed data streaming.
At the heart of this compact reference design, a new BGA packaged version of the ARM7-backed OXUF922 bridge chip handles 800Mbit/s FireWire 800, 480Mbit/s USB 2.0 and 133MHz, 80Mbyte/s IDE connections.
Device firmware is a second-generation version of that used in the industry leading OXFW911 bridge chip.
In non-storage applications, the OXUF922's IDE controller can also be configured as a high performance DMA interface, while an integrated 12Mbit/s UART provides an additional direct data communication interface.
