FDC37C78-HT

The FDC37C78-HT (also referred to as ‘HT’) is a specialty interface IC developed by National Semiconductor and is used in many applications. It is used mainly in applications that require high speed and/or parallel communications capability. The FDC37C78-HT is a multi-function device intended for use in applications where I/O continuity, flexibility and dependability are needed.

The FDC37C78-HT provides the ability to interface to a wide range of different types of devices such as keyboards, mice, game controllers, memory modules, hard disk drives and digital cameras. It supports multiple data transfer modes, including multi-level interrupts, programmable DMA and parallel data exchange. Additionally, the FDC37C78-HT supports High Speed Universal Serial Bus (USB) 1.1 and 2.0, PCI Express, SCSI, IEEE 1394 and ATA/ATAPI 5. It is also compatible with IEEE 1284 parallel port and Serial ATA.

The FDC37C78-HT is well-suited for a variety of applications including desktop PCs and servers, communications systems, networking and storage, industrial automation and embedded control. It is capable of supporting multiple data transfer types simultaneously.

The FDC37C78-HT is a mixed-signal device with a 32-bit processor, an 8-bit simultaneous asynchronous serial interface, and an 8-bit synchronous serial interface. Its integrated voltage regulator provides power supply regulation for the device and system peripherals. It includes two configurable ‘ChipSelect’ pins that can be used to support a variety of address-based systems.

The working principle of the FDC37C78-HT is based on a two-stage process of data transfer and data interpretation. It begins with the transfer stage, where the FDC37C78-HT first transmits the data to the device and then receives the response back. This data is then interpreted and the FDC37C78-HT autonomously decides which action to take depending on the data received. The second stage of the process is data interpretation, where the data is converted into an action such as a command or an input/output (I/O) operation.

The FDC37C78-HT is a highly flexible and cost-effective solution for many types of applications. It is a reliable, high-performance device that provides the necessary components for building a robust, scalable, and cost-effective digital data transfer system.
