AWRL6432BOOST is a prototype evaluation module available in limited quantities.
AWRL6432BOOST
AWRL6432BOOST BoosterPack™ plug-in module for single-chip low-power mmWave radar sensor
AWRL6432BOOST
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)
