JAJSIZ9D April 2020 – January 2022 AWR6443 , AWR6843
PRODUCTION DATA
The AWR6843 device includes the entire Millimeter Wave blocks and analog baseband signal chain for three transmitters and four receivers, as well as a customer-programmable MCU. This device is applicable as a radar-on-a-chip in use-cases with modest requirements for memory, processing capacity, and application code size. These could be cost-sensitive automotive applications that are evolving from 24-GHz narrowband implementation and some emerging simple ultra-short-range radar applications. Typical application examples for this device include: child presence detection, occupant detection, seat belt reminder, gesture detection, driver vital sign monitoring.
In terms of scalability, the AWR6843 device could be paired with a low-end external MCU, to address more complex applications that might require additional memory for larger application software footprint and faster interfaces. Because the AWR6843 device also provides high speed data interfaces like Serial-LVDS, it is suitable for interfacing with more capable external processing blocks. Here system designers can choose the AWR6843 to provide raw ADC data.
