Overview

AWRL6432 BoosterPack™ plug-in module is an easy-to-use low-power 60-GHz mmWave sensor evaluation platform for the AWRL6432 with an FR4-based antenna. This board enables access to point-cloud data and power-over-USB interfaces.

AWRL6432BOOST supports direct connectivity to DCA1000EVM. The BoosterPack is supported by mmWave tools, demonstrations and software, including the mmWave software development kit (MMWAVE-L-SDK) and Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE) (CCSTUDIO).

Additional boards may be used to enable additional functionality. For example, DCA1000EVM enables access to sensor raw analog-to-digital (ADC) data capture. Onboard XDS110 enables software development via CCSTUDIO.

AWRL6432BOOST can interface with the MCU LaunchPad™ development kit ecosystem.

Features
  • 60-GHz to 64-GHz mmWave sensor with <5-mW average power consumption
  • FR4-based PCB substrate
  • Three receive (3RX) two transmit (2TX) antenna with 120° azimuth field of view (FoV) and 80° elevation FoV
  • USB-powered, discrete DC/DC power-management solution; onboard capability for power-consumption monitoring
  • Cost-optimized PCB rules: lower manufacturing cost, no micro vias, only through vias, no vias on ball grid array (BGA) pads
  • Supports 60-pin high-speed interface for host-controlling interface, direct interface with DCA1000EVM and MCU LaunchPad development kit ecosystem

  • Micro-USB cable
  • Quick-start guide
  • Warranty card (disclaimer sheet)
