Figure 1 System Block Diagram

The demo system mainly consists of two main chips – (i) UWB PHY, (ii) Intel MAC. A

serial EEPROM is required to store proper data/commands for the PHY chip and MAC

chip. To make the system work properly, the EEPROM should be loaded with proper

content by using proper EEPROM writing equipment through I2C interface. Two basic

clock frequencies are used in the system – 24MHz for MAC and 66MHz for PHY. Some

more details of the components are shown in the following sections.

2.1 UWB PHY

This chip integrates the RF and baseband functions of a UWB PHY defined by the

standard. This version of PHY chip is packaged in 48-pin QFN form factor. The

analog/RF section requires 1.65V and 3.3V to operate. The digital core operates with

1.4V and the I/O voltage can support a range of 1.8V~3.3V.

2.2 Intel MAC

This MAC chip(Rhondda-M, 144-pin BGA) is from Intel which has a standard MPI

interface to communicate with a standard UWB PHY, as well as a standard USB 2.0

interface to connect directly to a PC. This chip requires voltages of 1.5V and 3.3V.

2.3 EEPROM

This chip is a serial EEPROM from Atmel with a capacity of 512Kb. It is used by the

MAC to store the initialization data and command sequence required by the MAC and

PHY on start up. This chip requires 2.7V~5V. On the application circuit, it’s powered by

3.3V.
