Texas Instruments AWRL6432BOOST BoosterPack™ Evaluation Module (EVM)
Texas Instruments AWRL6432BOOST BoosterPack™ Evaluation Module (EVM) is an easy-to-use, low-power 60GHz mmWave sensor evaluation kit 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 and Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE).
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. Texas Instruments AWRL6432BOOST can interface with the MCU LaunchPad™ development kit ecosystem.
Features
- 60GHz to 64GHz mmWave sensor
- 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
