xWRL1432BOOST-BSD Functional Block Diagram Figure 1-1 Functional Block Diagram

Figure 1-1 shows the functional block diagram. The EVM contains the essential components for the TI mm-Wave radar system: DCDC, SFLASH, SOP configuration, Filter, TI mmWave Radar chip, a USB to UART converter, and a 60-pin Samtec connector for interfacing with the DCA1000. The board also hosts a booster pack connector which can be connected to TI’s LaunchPad boards.
