Alereon Introduces Array of Ultrawideband Development Tools
Aleron has today announced new developmental tools for the based ultrawideband (UWB) designs. Wireless USB is an interesting new standard backed by Intel that should help to alleviate some of the cable clutter that we've all grown accustomed to over the years with USB peripherals.
The AL4401-EVB and AL4002-EVB evaluation boards provide a starting point for building complete UWB solutions based on the Alereon AL4000 PHY chipset. Both boards are complete WiMedia-based UWB PHY products that support all mandatory and optional data rates up to 480 Mbps and deliver the highest possible performance in a small form factor. The AL4402-EVB evaluation board is designed toplug directly into the Intel Peripheral Development Kit (PDK) for Certified Wireless USB. Both evaluation boards are implemented using Alereon's AL4100 RF Transceiver and AL4200 Baseband Processor (BBP), and are based on the industry's WiMedia Media Access Controller (MAC)/PHY Interface 1.0 standard, requiring only the addition of a compatible MAC to build a complete UWB solution. A complete design information package including schematics, bill of materials, and approved vendor list is available from Alereon.
