CAUTION HOT SURFACE
CONTACT MAY CAUSE BURN
DO NOT TOUCH
Note
RECOMMENDED DUTY CYCLE: The AWR1843AOPEVM operates at a maximum duty cycle of 50%:
running at a higher duty cycle increases the risk of damaging the EVM by exceeding the maximum
operating junction temperature (Tj) of 125°C.
The AWR1843AOPEVM includes four receivers and three transmitter wide field of antennas on the package of
the device. The AWR1843AOP operates at a 4-Ghz bandwidth from 77 to 81 GHz; the AWR1843AOPEVM has
an antenna gain of ~5 dBi.
Note
During operation, a minimum separation distance of 5 centimeters should be maintained between the
user and the EVM.
Note
Refer to the Thermal Design Guide for Antenna on Package mmWave Sensor application note for
details of thermal dissipation options for AWR1843AOP devices, particularly for small form factor
designs such as the mission side of the EVM.
Figure 2-1. AWR1843AOPEVM Top View
When split, the following features are available:
• 77 to 81 GHz mmWave sensing for form-factor deployment and testing
• Functional and flashing SOP Mode
• Emulator USB port for user UART and Data COM ports

CAUTION
There is a possibility of damage and lose of function to the mission board when it is split. When split,
the board cannot be put back together and many features are lost. Raw data capture, JTAG debug
and other features requiring the 60 pin SAMTEC connectors are permanently lost.
2.1 Block Diagram
Figure 2-3 shows the functional block diagram. The mission board side contains the essential components for
the TI radar system, PMIC, SFLASH, SOP configuration, Filter, TI mmWave Radar chip, and a USB to UART
converter. The Breakaway board sections contain the 60-pin Samtec connector for interfacing with the DCA1000
and MMWAVEICBOOST.

2.2 PCB Storage and Handling Recommendations
This EVM contains components that can potentially be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Always transport
and store the EVM in its supplied ESD bag when not in use. Handle using an antistatic wristband. Operate on an
antistatic work surface. For more information on proper handling, refer to SSYA010A.
2.3 Heat Sink and Temperature
Users are strongly encouraged to use the AWR1843AOPEVM with the heat sink installed. Due to the smaller
size of the AWR1843AOPEVM, it is likely to get warmer than other larger sized EVMs on the mmWave Radar
portfolioso care must be taken to ensure the junction temperature does not exceed 125°C. Figure 2-4 shows
measurement of junction temperature versus duty cycle taken with and without the heat sink. As seen in the
plot, the EVM can safely operate up to 50% duty cycle with or without the heat sink. Although the heatsink is
not absolutely required, usage of the heat sink provides protection against exceeding the junction temperature at
higher duty cyles.
Figure 2-4. Duty Cycle versus Junction Temperature
When using the EVM for custom applications, the duty cycle can be adjusted as needed, the heat sink provided
with the kit can be used, customers can also design their own heat sink using better heat disippating materials or
one with more surface area such as addition of fins. The CAD drawing for the heat sink is shown in Figure 2-5.

2.4 AWR1843AOPEVM Antenna
The AWR1843AOPEVM includes four receiver and three transmitter short range antennas on the package of the
chip. Figure 2-7 shows the antenna on package.

Figure 2-8 shows the orientation of the AWR1843AOP relative to the PCB. This orientation shows that when
the EVM is mounted on the provided mounting stand, the antenna is in the elevation orientation relative to the
scene.

2.7 Connectors
2.7.1 Power Connector (J5)
The EVM can be powered by the 5-V power jack (2.5-A current limit), shown in Figure 2-13. When the power is
provided, the NRST and 5-V LEDs should glow, indicating that the board is powered on.
The J5 connector is intended to be used when using the EVM with the DCA1000 or in stand alone (modular)
mode. When using the EVM with the MMWAVEICBOOST, the 5-V supply is provided by the MMWAVEICBOOST
board, so power over the J5 connector is not required.
When the breakaway section is removed, power should come from the USB connector (J1). See more details
about this connector in Section 2.7.2.
Note
After the 5-V power supply is provided to the EVM, TI recommends pressing the NRST switch (SW2)
one time to ensure a reliable boot-up state.

2.7.2 USB Connector (J1)
The USB connector provides an alternative 5-V supply input to power the device if the breakaway section is
removed. Additionally, the PC interface is brought out on this connector:
• UART for flashing the onboard serial flash, downloading FW through Radar Studio, and getting application
data sent through the UART
• MSS logger UART (can be used to get MSS code logs on the PC)

In MMWAVEICBOOST mode, the AWR1843AOPEVM is mounted on the MMWAVEICBOOST and the
SOP mode is set by the MMWAVEICBOOST.
2.9 Modular, MMWAVEICBOOST, and DCA1000 Mode
The AWR1843AOP can be used in modular mode or mounted on the DCA1000 or MMWAVEICBOOST for
debugging.
Modular mode is primarily used when running application code or the SDK mmWave Demo. In this mode the
user will have access to the UART and Logger ports via the USB connector (J1) as well as the on-board CAN
trancievers (J8, J10) and the Bluetooth/JTAG header (J7).
Additional debug interfaces (DMM, LVDS, SPI) and tools (mmWaveStudio) can be accessed by connecting to
the MMWAVEICBOOST on the J2 connector. For more details about the MMWAVEICBOOST features and uses,
refer to the MMWAVEICBOOST User's Guide.
Raw data capture over the LVDS interface with mmWaveStudio can be accomplished by directly connecting the
EVM to the DCA1000 EVM on the J11 connector. For more details about the DCA1000 EVM and its features,
refer to the DCA1000 EVM User's Guide.
