Adoption of IEEE-1394 as a Replacement for Existing Power Jacks on Laptop Computers By Joseph Birgen
Outline • Problems encounters and changes to original project • More information on Firewire • Benefits and recommendation
Prime Information Sources • www.ieee.org • www.1394ta.org • www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/bus/1394 • http://www.tomshardware.com/
Corrections • IEEE-1394a = 400Mbps USB 2.0 speed = 480Mbps USB 1.1 = 12Mbps • 40volts 1.5 amps confirmed • 12v devices exist • AC adapter vs. power supply
Names • Apple: Firewire, Firewire800, Firewire400 • Sony iLink • Creative SB1394 • IEEE-1394a, IEEE-1394b
IEEE-1394b / Firewire800 • Longer distance: over 100m vs. 5m • Higher speed: 800-1600Mbps vs. 400 • Different connector
