High Integration
Alereon's 3rd generation highly integrated 65 nm AL6000 Family chipset integrates the RF transceiver, BBP/MAC, and firmware/software, to implement a complete WiMedia UWB product that supports all protocol adaptation layers, including Wireless USB device and IP based protocols. The Alereon AL6000 family covers all worldwide band groups 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 from 3.1-10.6 GHz and all WiMedia TFCs.The AL6000 family was designed to allow easy implementation of wireless HDMI and VGA applications for laptop to HDTV; wireless office applications, such as docking stations; and mobile device applications, such as tablets, smart phones or digital camera to HDTV.
AL6301 BBP/MAC
The Alereon AL6301 BBP/MAC integrates all digital and mixed signal circuitry for a WiMedia UWB system providing high-speed wireless connectivity using Wireless USB, and the IP based WiMedia Link Layer Protocol. The AL6301 BBP/MAC uses a low power, highly efficient 200 MHz ARM926 processor combined with high-precision hardware timers and specialized hardware for accelerating encryption and packet processing with 256k DPSRAM. Includes sophisticated clock gating for low power operation and very low leakage power.
An on-chip SD/SDIO Host controller supports high speed transfers of stored media content to off load the device host processor. The AL6301 BBP/MAC contains both an SDIO slave and USB 2.0 OTG interface for connecting to a host processor or to upstream devices. Alereon's NoWire™ driverless firmware and QuickLink™ association firmware are also supported.
AL5100 RF Transciever
The AL5100 transceiver integrates analog RF front-end components including synthesizer VCO/PLL, anti-alias filters, LNAs, PAs, and transmit/receive (T/R) switches, and supports a single ended connection to the antenna eliminating external baluns.
