Alereon HS6621 UWB Radio Module User Guide

INTRODUCTION

The HS6621 UWB Radio module is a complete compact UWB radio implemented in a

standard PC Mini-Card format that is intended to be embedded within a product to

provide UWB functionality.

The HS6621 combines the Alereon AL5000 chipset along with on board power supplies,

an antenna output, a USB function controller and a USB 2.0 system interface.

1.0 REFERENCE DESIGN FEATURES

- USB 2.0 – WiMedia Cable Association

• Power requirements:

o +3.3V ±5%, 0.75A Maximum

• Small Form Factor (Minicard form factor)

• 3 GPIO lines for LED Indicators or additional system control signals

• Operating temperature / humidity range: 0°C to +50°C / 10% to 80% RH

2.0 Usage and Documentation

The HS6621 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 HS6621 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:

A3LCYWDCA7UR . The product implementation can apply these approvals to the

product which incorporates the HS6621 .

This document provides an outline of the purpose and functionality provided by the

HS6621 , complete information for the product system designer is contained in the

Samsung Reference Design Kit (RDK) package consisting of: Schematic diagram, BOM,

and PCB fabrication information including a full Gerber data set.

4.3 UWB Antenna The HS6621 has received FCC approval when employed with a specific antenna. The approved antennas are: • • BlueWaveTel UWBH-001 BlueWaveTel UWBH-002 These is the only antennas approved by the FCC for use with the Alereon HS6621 , any substitution of any other antenna automatically invalidates the FCC approval. 5.0 Regulatory Information The HS6621 is approved under subpart F of the FCC rules as a Modular UWB Transmitter.

.0 Mechanical The HS6621 PCB is designed to allow the user to optionally choose one of two mechanical envelopes: 1. Full Minicard, this is PCB standard PCB configuration. 2. Half Minicard configuration. This optional configuration is achieved by removing the inert top one-half of the PCBA, a score line is provided on the PCB to facilitate this action in production. This should not be considered a fieldchangeable option.
