2.0 Usage and Documentation
The AL5721 is a complete, self-contained UWB radio module requiring only +3.3V
regulated power from the host system and providing USB 2.0 interfaces to the host
system for data and the WiMedia association function. The AL5712 is intended to
provide a simple path for a wired USB product design to migrate to a UWB enabled
wireless USB product design.
The AL5721 is a wireless USB certified platform and has received FCC approval as a
Modular UWB transmitter under subpart F of the FCC rules with the FCC ID:
U9YAL5721. The product implementation can apply these approvals to the product
which incorporates the AL5721.
This document provides an outline of the purpose and functionality provided by the
AL5721, complete information for the product system designer is contained in the
Alereon Reference Design Kit (RDK) package consisting of: Schematic diagram, BOM,
and PCB fabrication information including a full Gerber data set.

4.0 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
4.1 Power
One +3.3 V power supply at max data rate average current of 500 mA with peak at 750
mA. Connector pins #2 and 52 (+3.3V) are connected in common, both should connect
to the host system power rail. Connector pins #4, 9, 15, 18, 21, 26, 27, 29, 34, 35, 40,
and 50 are connected in common, all should connect to the host system ground.
4.2 LED Indicator Functions
Name
Dock LED
Functional Description
Steady flashing when dock power is applied and radio is beaconing but not connected to a host.
LED is solid when a wireless connection is made to a Host PC.
Normally off, Flashes during cable association process, Goes solid when a successful cable
association is made.
During wireless operation, this LED is off when there is not wireless connection to a host,
when successful Secure wireless connection is made to a pre-associated host, the LED goes solid.
Security LED
Flashes when data is being passed wireless in either direction.
Data LED
Host Connect LED
Normally off. The LED goes solid when a wireless connection is made with the host.
This "Host Connect" LED indicates that the dock is successfully connected to the host.

4.3 UWB Antenna
The AL5721 has received FCC approval when employed with either of two antennas.
These two alternatives are provided for the system integrator to chose one that best
suits the particular installation. The approved antennas are:
•
•
ACON (Taiwan) model number ADM6P-700047
Alereon model number AL500001
These are the only antennas approved by the FCC for use with the Alereon AL5721, any
substitution of any other antenna automatically invalidates the FCC approval.
5.0 Regulatory Information
The AL5721 is approved under subpart F of the FCC rules as a Modular UWB
Transmitter.
The product into which the AL5721 is incorporated must bear a label per the FCC
requirements which shows the FCC ID assigned to the AL5721 as follows.
FCC ID: U9YAL5721
The following information must be conveyed in the information supplied to the End User
of the product into which the AL5721 is incorporated.
The compliance statement exactly as prescribed by the FCC:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This device is authorized under 47 CFR 15.519 (the FCC Rules and Regulations).
The operation of this device is subject to the following restriction: This UWB
device shall transmit only when it is sending information to an associated
receiver. This UWB device shall cease transmission within 10 seconds unless it
receives an acknowledgement from the associated receiver that its transmission
is being received. An acknowledgement of reception must continue to be
received by the transmitting device at least every 10 seconds of operation or the
UWB device must cease transmitting.
The users manual or instruction manual shall caution the user that changes or
modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for the
grant of equipment authorization issued by the FCC could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment under the grant of equipment authorization, an example:
Warning: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by
Alereon could void the users authority to operate the device under the FCC
Equipment Authorization. This includes changes or substitutions of the antenna
which is furnished with the device.
