Basics FireWire Technology - 47
• A physically small thin serial cable - replaces today's
bulky and expensive interfaces
• Easy to use - no need for terminators, device IDs,
screws, or complicated set-ups
• Hot pluggable - devices can be added and removed while
the bus is active
• Scalable - the Standard defines 100, 200, and 400
Mbps devices and can support the multiple speeds on a
single bus
• Flexible - the Standard supports freeform daisy
chaining and branching for peer-to-peer
implementations
• Fast, guaranteed bandwidth - the Standard supports
guaranteed delivery of time critical data which enables
smaller buffers (lower cost)
• Non-proprietary - no licensing problems, adoption is
encouraged
