CHIPSET FIRM Silicon Integrated Systems (SIS) claimed it had released the first chipset with an integrated 1394 host controller.

The 745 supports the AMD Athlon XP and the firm said its chip avoids the need for independent north/south bridge implementations for Firewire.

The 1394 host controller embedded in the 745 conforms to IEEE 1394/1395 and 1394A for the serial bus, at transfer rates of 100Mbit/s, 200Mbit/s and 400Mbit/s.

It is compatible with PCI 2.2 and PCI power management v1.2, said SIS. µ
