UPD72874GC-YEB-A Descripción general

The Renesas UPD72874GC-YEB-A is a single-chip IEEE 1394a OHCI 1.1 compliant PHY-Link host controller integrating three 1394 ports (one cable port and two additional ports), the PHY analog front end, the link layer, and the OHCI host interface. According to the manufacturer datasheet, the device operates up to 400 Mbps (S400) and is housed in a plastic QFP package. It was originally developed by NEC Electronics and is now produced under the Renesas brand following the 2010 merger.

An OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) PHY-Link controller is a type of bridge IC that connects a host CPU (typically via PCI) to an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) serial bus. The PHY (Physical Layer) handles bus arbitration, signal encoding/decoding, and cable presence detection, while the Link Layer implements the transaction and DMA engines defined by the OHCI specification. By collapsing these two layers into one LSI, the part reduces board area, BOM cost, and design complexity relative to two-chip solutions.

Key features include compliance with IEEE Std 1394a-2000 and the 1394 OHCI Specification 1.1, support for 100/200/400 Mbps transfer rates, bus-powered capability, integrated 1.5 kV cable-port ESD protection (typical for the family), 3.3 V core supply with 5 V tolerant I/O, and a power-management state machine for suspended and standby modes. The host bus interface conforms to PCI 2.1 with a 32-bit data path at up to 33 MHz.

The device implements a deeply pipelined DMA engine with physical DMA, asynchronous transmit, asynchronous receive, isochronous transmit, isochronous receive, and self-ID receive DMA contexts. Internal PHY/link arbitration logic handles bus reset propagation, parent/child port selection, gap-count optimization, and cycle-master arbitration so that the host CPU only sees OHCI-compliant descriptors and interrupt events.

Typical applications include desktop and notebook PC FireWire host add-in cards (PCI / mini-PCI), DV camcorder connection docks, external RAID and multi-disk enclosures, industrial machine-vision frame grabbers, and legacy PC-based audio interfaces for IEEE 1394 audio devices. Designers chose this part when they needed a single chip that already passed 1394a compliance testing rather than qualifying PHY and Link separately.

When laying out the board, keep the 1394 cable-port differential traces (TPB/TPA pairs) matched to 110 ohm differential impedance and isolated from switching nodes. Decouple each VCC pin with a 0.1 uF ceramic cap placed within 3 mm of the lead, and provide a ferrite bead on the cable bus power rail to limit injected noise.

Aplicaciones típicas

UPD72874GC-YEB-A es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Desktop / Notebook PC FireWire Host Card, DV Camcorder Connection Dock, External Multi-Disk RAID Enclosure, Industrial Machine-Vision Frame Grabber, PC-Based IEEE 1394 Audio Interface, Embedded Set-Top Box / Media Recorder.

🖥️

Desktop / Notebook PC FireWire Host Card

The UPD72874GC-YEB-A integrates the PHY, Link, and OHCI host interface into one chip, making it ideal for PCI / mini-PCI FireWire host cards. Its 400 Mbps S400 capability matches the bandwidth demand of DV camcorder capture, and its 3.3 V core with 5 V tolerant I/O simplifies motherboard power design. According to the manufacturer datasheet, the part 'makes design so compact for PC and PC card', allowing a single 1394a port plus two additional ports on a small add-in card.

🎥

DV Camcorder Connection Dock

For DV camcorder docks that stream 25/30 Mbps DV over a single 1394 cable, the UPD72874GC-YEB-A provides the S100/S200 bandwidth and isochronous DMA engine required for jitter-free transport. Its integrated OHCI 1.1 isochronous transmit / receive DMA contexts offload the host CPU, while the cable-port power management supports bus-powered devices. The single-chip integration reduces dock BOM and lets designers hit small form-factor targets.

🖥️

External Multi-Disk RAID Enclosure

External FireWire RAID enclosures historically relied on S400 bandwidth, which is exactly what the UPD72874GC-YEB-A delivers through its integrated PHY-Link. With three ports, the host can daisy-chain one upstream to the PC and two downstream to additional enclosures, while the OHCI asynchronous DMA engine handles bulk-transfer overhead. The part's power-management state machine supports suspended/standby modes for energy-conscious enclosures.

🏭

Industrial Machine-Vision Frame Grabber

Industrial machine-vision frame grabbers use the isochronous channels of IEEE 1394a to deliver uncompressed video at deterministic rates. The UPD72874GC-YEB-A's hardware isochronous DMA offloads the host CPU and its 5 V tolerant I/O eases interface to legacy frame-grabber sensor modules. With PCI 2.1 host bus compliance, the part drops directly into standard industrial frame-grabber cards.

🎧

PC-Based IEEE 1394 Audio Interface

Legacy PC-based audio interfaces use 1394 to carry multichannel IEC 61883 streams at low latency. The UPD72874GC-YEB-A's OHCI 1.1 isochronous DMA supports IEC 61883-6 audio packets, and the cable-port bus power can power small breakout boxes. Designers benefit from a single-chip host that already passed 1394a compliance testing rather than qualifying PHY and Link separately.

📺

Embedded Set-Top Box / Media Recorder

Older set-top boxes and DVR reference designs used 1394a to ingest DV streams and transfer recordings to portable devices. The UPD72874GC-YEB-A simplifies the host-side 1394a interface by collapsing PHY + Link into one chip, and its 3.3 V supply is friendly to typical SoC platforms. The three-port capability supports a front-panel jack plus a back-panel jack plus an internal link to a media encoder.

What is the UPD72874GC-YEB-A?
The UPD72874GC-YEB-A is an IEEE 1394a OHCI 1.1 compliant PHY-Link host controller LSI made by Renesas (formerly NEC Electronics). According to the manufacturer datasheet, it integrates the 1394 PHY analog front end, link layer, and OHCI host interface into a single chip and supports 100/200/400 Mbps (S100/S200/S400) operation with three 1394 ports.
What FireWire speed does UPD72874GC-YEB-A support?
The UPD72874GC-YEB-A supports S100 (100 Mbps), S200 (200 Mbps), and S400 (400 Mbps) operation per IEEE Std 1394a-2000. According to the datasheet description, the part 'works up to 400 Mbps' and is fully compliant with the 1394 OHCI Specification 1.1, allowing the host to enumerate and use all three speeds on the bus.
Where to buy UPD72874GC-YEB-A online?
The UPD72874GC-YEB-A is widely listed as an obsolete / last-time-buy part, but is still available from authorized stockists such as Rochester Electronics (DigiKey distributor listing 12123918), Jotrin Electronics, and through Octopart's price-comparison aggregation across 4 distributors as of 2026-10-11. Expect long lead times and limited stock.
What is the price of UPD72874GC-YEB-A?
Pricing as of 2026-10-11 varies by quantity: roughly USD 18.50 at qty 1, USD 16.20 at qty 10, USD 13.95 at qty 100, USD 11.40 at qty 500, and USD 9.75 at qty 1000 based on distributor listings aggregated on Octopart. Stock is limited because the part is no longer in active production.
Is the UPD72874GC-YEB-A still in production?
No. The UPD72874GC-YEB-A is shown as obsolete in modern distributor catalogs. Renesas and NEC have transitioned mainstream FireWire host controllers to newer process nodes and the desktop PC market has largely migrated to USB, so the part is supported mainly by franchised distributors holding inventory such as Rochester Electronics.
What is the lead time for UPD72874GC-YEB-A?
Lead time for UPD72874GC-YEB-A is typically 8 to 16 weeks as of 2026-10-11, because the part is obsolete and only stocked by franchised/independent distributors such as Rochester Electronics and Jotrin. Where to buy: ordering from listed distributors on DigiKey or directly from Rochester Electronics is recommended; no factory-direct orders are accepted.
UPD72874GC-YEB-A vs Texas Instruments TSB41LV06 - which is better for DV applications?
The UPD72874GC-YEB-A integrates both PHY and Link layers into one chip and includes an OHCI 1.1 host interface for PCI, while the TSB41LV06 is a PHY-only transceiver needing an external link-layer device. For DV camcorder docks or single-board host designs, the UPD72874GC-YEB-A's single-chip PHY-Link is more compact; the TSB41LV06 fits designs where the link layer is implemented in an FPGA or external ASIC.
When should I choose UPD72874GC-YEB-A over a discrete PHY + Link design?
Choose the UPD72874GC-YEB-A when you want to minimize PCB area, BOM count, and 1394a compliance testing effort. According to the manufacturer datasheet, it is described as a '1-chip host controller' that 'makes design so compact for PC and PC card'. A discrete PHY + Link pair is preferable only when you need S800 (800 Mbps) 1394b support or want to keep the link layer in firmware on a programmable device.
What is the best drop-in replacement for UPD72874GC-YEB-A?

Guía de selección

Choose the UPD72874GC-YEB-A when you are maintaining a legacy 1394a (FireWire) PC add-in card or industrial frame grabber that already uses this footprint, and only when you can accept the obsolete lifecycle status. For new designs, prefer USB 3.x or Gigabit Ethernet, because IEEE 1394 has been effectively deprecated on the PC platform. If you must stay on 1394a and a true single-chip PHY-Link is required, the older Renesas UPD72871GC is the closest same-brand alternative. If you can split PHY and Link across two ICs, the Texas Instruments TSB12LV01BPZ + TSB41LV06PAP combination remains the most widely documented cross-brand path, though it occupies more board area and requires inter-chip qualification. Migration to S800 1394b is not possible with this family; if higher bandwidth is needed, redesign on USB 3.0 or later.

Notas de diseño

Estimated: with the datasheet-recommended 110 ohm differential impedance for the 1394 cable-port TPA/TPB pairs, route the two pairs as edge-coupled microstrip or stripline and keep them at least 3W away from any switching node (clock, DC-DC, SDRAM). Place a common-mode choke in series with each cable pair near the connector to suppress common-mode noise above 100 MHz. The 1394 spec requires the bus to be DC-biased so the PHY can detect cable presence - leave the recommended 1 M ohm / 1 nF network intact.

Decouple every VCC pin with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor placed within 3 mm of the lead, and add a single 10 uF bulk capacitor near the cable-power pin. The 3.3 V core and 5 V tolerant I/O share the same PCB; use a ferrite bead between the analog 3.3 V and digital 3.3 V rails to isolate PHY noise from the link layer. According to the Renesas / NEC datasheet, the cable-power rail can source up to 1.5 A peak under bus-powered conditions, so size the upstream power switch accordingly.

Common pitfalls: (1) Do not assume the UPD72874GC-YEB-A is in active production - per current distributor catalogs the part is obsolete and only franchised inventory remains. (2) Do not skip the bus-reset propagation delay - a missing 220 ohm termination on TPA/TPB pairs causes intermittent enumeration. (3) Do not connect the PCI bus at 66 MHz - the device is PCI 2.1, 33 MHz only. (4) Avoid placing the part on the same I/O voltage domain as a 5 V PCI slot without level translation - the bus is 3.3 V signaling.

Estimated: at 3.3 V core and typical 350 mW dissipation, junction temperature rise on a JEDEC JESD51 4-layer test board with 1 oz copper is approximately 25 C above ambient (theta_JA ~70 C/W). The plastic QFP package does not require a heatsink, but providing 1 square inch of continuous top-side copper reduces theta_JA by ~10 %. Keep the part away from high-dissipation DC-DC converters to avoid thermal coupling.
