The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) approved IEEE 1394 - Standard for High Performance Serial Bus.
The revised specification combines and incorporates all previous IEEE 1394 standards developed since 1994.
Commercially known under the brand names of FireWire and i.LINK, the IEEE 1394 standard provides specifications for a high speed serial bus, which supports both asynchronous and isochronous communication and integrates with most IEEE standard 32-bit and 64-bit parallel buses.
The 1394-2008 standard updates and revises all prior 1394 standards including 1394a, 1394b, 1394c, enhanced unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and the 1394 beta plus PHY-Link interface.
It also incorporates the complete specifications for S1600, which provides 1.6 Gbps and for S3200, which provides 3.2 Gbps.
The standard is expected to be available in October.
