The TT•1013 is a complete Ultra Wideband solution designed to be compliant with the WiMedia and ECMA-368/369 international standards.

Thanks to its extended 3.1 to 7.4 GHz frequency range, the TT•1013 supports high data-rate Ultra Wideband operations in both low bands and the high bands as defined by the WiMedia and ECMA-368 international standards. This enables deployment of product based on the TT•1013 outside of the United States without the use of mitigation techniques and without time restrictions.

The TT•1013 is the second generation UWB solution of the Focus Enhancements’ Ultra Wideband radio platform. Thanks to its flexible support of operations in the 3.1 to 7.4 GHz band, the TT•1013 provides a competitive advantage for world-wide deployments, including countries where the available UWB spectrum might be fragmented by conservative regulations.

The TT•1013 hosts a full MAC, designed to be compliant with both Certified Wireless USB and WiMedia specifications. Through its distributed TDMA capabilities, the TT•1013 supports Quality-of-Service (QoS) sensitive applications, guaranteeing low latencies and high efficiency in the most critical of environments.

The TT•1013 supports advanced security mechanisms – including data encryption and decryption, message integrity, and replay attack protection – based on AES-128 CCM cryptography.

A plethora of common application interfaces are supported, enabling multiple options for integration in new or existing systems. Such interfaces include USB 2.0 (host and device), PCI, and a flexible parallel interface that can be configured as either high-speed memory mapped or streaming interface, for both master and slave operations.

Including the MAC/PHY standard interface defined by WiMedia and the ECMA-169 international standards, the TT•1013 chipset can also be used in conjunction with an external MAC or with an additional PHY.

The TT•1013 hosts an advanced power management engine, capable of dynamically selecting one of numerous power states during normal operations, ensuring that the best trade-off between performance and power consumption is always selected.

The TT•1013 offers a selection of interfaces that can be used for communicating with a host system. Together with standard interfaces like USB and PCI, the TT•1013 embeds a flexible parallel interface that can be configured to support memory mapped and streaming interconnects.

The paragraphs below describe the host interfaces embedded in the TT•1013

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

The TT•1013 can be configured to operate as either a USB host controller or a USB peripheral controller compliant with the USB 2.0 specification. The TT•1013 can also operate as a dual role On-The-Go (OTG) controller that is able to negotiate the host or peripheral role on the bus in compliance with the On-The-Go (OTG) supplement to the USB specification.

The TT•1013 embeds a USB2.0 PHY transceiver, greatly minimizing the number of external components and overall BoM costs. For backward compatibility with previous Focus’ solutions, the TT•1013 can also be configured to bypass the internal USB transceiver and use an external one compliant with the ULPI specification.

PCI

The TT•1013 hosts an embedded PCI Controller, compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification, version 2.3 and able to support PCI, CardBus and MiniPCI variations of the PCI protocol.

The TT•1013 can function either as a host or target (or simple-bridge). In Host mode, the TT•1013 acts as the PCI North Bridge and can configure other targets on the PCI bus. In target (or simple-bridge mode) mode, the TT•1013 is configured by another host on the PCI bus.

Both 33 MHz and 66 MHz asynchronous and synchronous PCI operations are supported.

Configurable Parallel Interface

The TT•1013 hosts an interface that can be configured to support both memory-mapped and streaming interconnects especially suited for consumer electronic platforms.

Few examples of how the TT•1013 Configurable Parallel Interface can be configured are illustrated in Figure 7[a-h] below.
