An 800 Mb/s physical layer LSI with hybrid port architecture for consumer electronics networking

A physical layer LSI has one DS-port and two /spl beta/ports in accordance with IEEE1394-2000 and P1394b Draft 1.01 respectively. The 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS LSI realizes 800 Mb/s and 1.2 km peer-to-peer IEEE1394 networking through /spl beta/port. Each /spl beta/port requires 180 mW active power and is treated as ASIC macro for future large system integration.
