7.6 Power Supply Specifications

Table 7-1 describes the four required power rails which must be provided to the AWR294x from an external power supply. In the case when 1.8V LVCMOS IO is utilized, VIOIN is powered from a 1.8V rail and the 3.3V rail can be ommited, so only three rails must be provided. Also, depending on the power topology utilized, additional power supply filtering can be required for the RF 1.0V and baseband, clock and VCO 1.8V supplies to meet the required ripple specifications. This additional filtering results in separate supply power nets being generated from these four basic rails.

Table 7-1 Power Supply Rails Characteristics
SUPPLY VOLTAGE DEVICE BLOCKS POWERED FROM THE SUPPLY DEVICE POWER NETS
1.8 V Synthesizer and APLL VCOs, crystal oscillator, IF Amplifier stages, ADC, CSI2, LVDS, LVCMOS IO Input: VDDA_18VCO, VDDA_18CLK, VDDA_18PM, VDDA_18BB, VIOIN_18CSI, VIOIN_18LVDS, VIOIN_18
LDO Output: VOUT_14SYNTH, VOUT_14APLL
1.0 V Power Amplifier, Low Noise Amplifier, Mixers and LO Distribution Input: VDDA_10RF2, VDDA_10RF1
3.3 V (or 1.8 V for 1.8 V I/O mode) LVCMOS IO VIOIN
1.2 V Core Digital and SRAM VDD, VDD_SRAM, VNWA
1.7 V Programming OTP eFuse (For secure devices) VPP

The 1.0 V and 1.8 V power supply ripple specifications are mentioned in Table 7-2 The spur and ripple levels have a dB to dB relationship, for example, a 1 dB increase in supply ripple leads to an approximately 1 dB increase in spur level. Values quoted are rms levels for a sinusoidal input applied at the specified frequency.

Power Supply Guidelines

The LP87745-Q1 Power Management IC (PMIC) is recommended for an integrated AWR294x power solution. This cost and space optimized solution is designed to power the AWR294x radar sensor and its principal peripherals.

List of benefits when using LP87745-Q1 PMIC to power AWR294x:

  1. Full device performance entitlement as validated on TI Evaluation boards
  2. Noise/Ripple performance that meets AWR noise/ripple performance specification
    1. LP87745-Q1 has high switching frequency at 17.6MHz switching outside IF band & avoiding the LDOs helps with thermal performance at the system level and bypasses the need for 2nd stage LC filters to suppress the ripple and filter out the spurs.
    2. Thermal dissipation does not affect RF performance
