AL6621 Worldwide Wireless USB Device Radio Card User Guide INTRODUCTION The AL6621 PCB Radio module is a complete compact device radio reference design that enables quick design of UWB enabled products. The AL6621 combines the Alereon AL5100/AL6301 chipset along with on board power supplies, an antenna output and a USB 2.0 system interface. 1.0 REFERENCE DESIGN FEATURES • • • • • • • • Optimized Performance with AL5100 (3.1GHz to 8.976GHz) WiMedia BG#1, 3, 6 Complete Baseband Processor (BBP) and Media Access Controller (MAC) High Precision Data Path and Data Converters allowing reliable link at extended ranges Fully Integrated MAC Protocol Engine Supports All Industry Standards WiMedia protocols - Certified Wireless USB - WiMedia Link Layer Protocol - Bluetooth 3.0 (supported by future SW releases) Industry Standard Interfaces - USB 2.0 – Data - USB 2.0 – WiMedia Cable Association Operates from a single (+3.3 V, regulated) supply Small Form Factor (Minicard form factor) 3 GPIO lines for LED Indicators or additional system control signals 2.0 Usage and Documentation The AL6621 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 AL6621 is intended to provide a simple path for a wired USB product design to migrate to a UWB enabled wireless USB product design. The AL6621 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: U9YAL6621. The product implementation can apply these approvals to the product which incorporates the AL6621. This document provides an outline of the purpose and functionality provided by the AL6621, 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.

Pin Descriptions 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. Table 2. LED Indicator Functionality UG-AL5721_1.0 P.4/7 4.3 UWB Antenna The AL6621 has received FCC approval when employed with one UWB antenna. The approved antenna is: • ACON (Taiwan) model number ADM6P-700047 This is the only antenna approved by the FCC for use with the Alereon AL6621, any substitution of any other antenna automatically invalidates the FCC approval. 5.0 Regulatory Information The AL6621 is approved under subpart F of the FCC rules as a Modular UWB Transmitter.
