Overview

The MMWAVEICBOOST is a carrier card designed to expand the evaluation capabilities of Texas Instruments mmWave sensor modules. It provides the necessary power management, debugging interfaces, and high-speed data connectors to transition from a basic sensor plug-in to a full development environment.

Why Choose This Part

This board provides a modular approach to sensor evaluation by decoupling the RF front-end from the interface hardware. It includes an onboard XDS110 debugger and provides access to 60-pin high-speed connectors for deep signal analysis.

Applications

High-Speed Data Capture
Pairs with the DCA1000EVM to stream raw ADC data over Ethernet for algorithm development.
Industrial Automation
Facilitates the development of mmWave sensors for area occupancy detection and safety guarding.
Robotic Navigation
Used to prototype obstacle detection and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) sensors.
Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing
Provides standardized headers and connectors to interface mmWave front-ends with external MCUs or FPGAs.

Getting Started

Plug a compatible mmWave sensor module (such as the IWR6843ISK) into the 60-pin Samtec connectors and connect the board to a PC via USB. Use the TI UniFlash tool to load firmware and the mmWave Demo Visualizer to view point-cloud data in real-time.

Also Consider
