AWR2E44PEVM Functional Block DiagramFigure 1-1 Functional Block Diagram
Figure 1-1 shows the functional block diagram. The EVM contains the essential components for the TI mmWave radar system which can be copied as is into production designs: 3D waveguide antenna, power delivery network, serial Flash, external communication interfaces (CANFD and Ethernet), and SOP control. Additionally, several debug features are included to assist in software development and evaluation. These include on-board FTDI and XDS110, temperature and current sensors, and high speed connectors to interface with the DCA1000EVM or external debuggers.
