1``FWDG 1.0TA03/02/2010FireWire Design GuideAbstract: Guidelines for implementing FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports on both high level complex devices such as personalcomputers and simple devices such as inexpensive consumer electronics products. Includes references to normative specifi-cations as well as full reference designs that can be used as is or, with the careful consideration of the trade-offs, as a startingpoint for a more optimized design.2FireWire Design GuideFWDG 1.0TA03/02/20101394 Trade Association Specifications are developed within Working Groups of the 1394 TradeAssociation, a non-profit industry association devoted to the promotion of and growth of the market for IEEE 1394-compliant products. Participants in Working Groups serve voluntarily and withoutcompensation from the Trade Association. Most participants represent member organizations of the 1394Trade Association. The specifications developed within the working groups represent a consensus of theexpertise represented by the participants. Use of a 1394 Trade Association Specification is wholly voluntary. The existence of a 1394 TradeAssociation Specification is not meant to imply thatthere are not other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the 1394 Trade AssociationSpecification. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a specification is accepted and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and comments received fromusers of the specification.
