AWRL6888EVM Functional Block Diagram Figure 1-1 Functional Block Diagram

Figure 1-1 shows the functional block diagram of the AWRL6888EVM. The EVM contains all essential components for the TI mmWave radar system: PMIC, SFLASH, SOP configuration, Filter, mmWave Radar Sensor, USB to UART converter, and a 60-pin Samtec® connector for interfacing with DCA1000. The AWRL6888EVM has a provision to mount a launchpad boosterpack connector which can be connected to TI’s LaunchPad boards.
