The latest developments in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1394 (FireWire/i.Link) technology will be on the floor of the semi-annual Intel Developers' Forum, including the following: -- LSI LSI: see integrated circuit. (Large Scale Integration) Between 3,000 and 100,000 transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, VLSI and ULSI. Logic will present a comprehensive interoperability demonstration featuring a pair of Sony PlayStation Sony Playstation - Playstation (R) 2 machines playing Gran Turismo For other uses of "Gran Turismo", see Gran Turismo (disambiguation). Gran Turismo is Italian for Grand Touring or "Grand Tourisme." in reference to the Grand Tour. The GT naming tradition comes from Italy, eg. Alfa Romeo and Ferrari named often their cars as Gran Turismo. 3 using an i.Link head-to-head format. The network also will show the capabilities of LSI Logic's fully-interoperable PHY See physical layer and physical. core, as well as a PC running DV editing software and a digital video camera linked together while the PlayStation 2 systems compete. "This demonstration highlights the 1394 interoperability of the PlayStations in a common network configuration," said Matt Pujol, LSI Logic's 1394 Product Manager. "LSI Logic's 1394 CoreWare silicon powers the interface in the PlayStation 2." Located at the 1394 Trade Association booth, number 826. -- Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. will provide a demonstration of its new 1394b device technology at booth 623. TI's demonstration will feature two computers transmitting fully 1394b compatible, 800 Mbps packets using 1394b cables from Molex, Inc. A 1394b Data Analyzer from Yokogawa Corporation will be connected to the two computers to validate 1394b data transmission. TI will also showcase the devices' ability to be fully backward compatible with the existing IEEE 1394a-2000 standard.
