3.1 Hardware Requirements

This reference design requires AWR1843BOOST, xWR6843ISK EVMs to execute the reference application. However customers can run this on their board as well.

  • AWR1843 single-chip 76-GHz to 81-GHz automotive radar sensor evaluation module AWR1842BOOST
  • AWR6843 single-chip 60-GHz to 64-GHz automotive radar sensor antenna plug-in module AWR6843ISK
  • IWR6843 intelligent mmWave sensor standard antenna plug-in module IWR6843ISK
  • Dual buck converter and 5-V boost with diagnostic functions LP87702-Q1 (component of above EVMs).
