< 3 m. 2.3.2 mmWave Proximity Demo TI provides sample demo codes to easily get started with the AWR1443 evaluation module and experience the functionality of the AWR1443 mmWave sensor. For details on getting started with these demos, see the mmWave SDK User Guide.
20-pin connectors. The connectors do not have a key to prevent the misalignment of the pins or reverse connection. Therefore, ensure reverse mounting does not take place. On the AWR1443 BoosterPack, we have provided 3V3 marking near pin 1 (see Figure 4).

Enable signal is released. NOTE: To enable this feature, the R102 resister must be populated on the EVM. • ANA1/2/3/4 – These are inputs to the GPADCs (general purpose ADC) available on the AWR1443 device. AWR1443BOOST, AWR1243BOOST Evaluation Module mmWave Sensing SWRU507A –...
MCU must ensure that it does not drive any I/O signals to the AWR device before this I/O supply is stable, to avoid leakage current into the I/Os. 3.4.3 CAN Interface Connector (for AWR1443) The J3 connector provides the CAN_L and CAN_H signals (see Figure 8) from the onboard CAN transceiver (SN65HVDA540).
Jumpers, Switches, and LEDs 3.7.1 Sense On Power Jumpers The AWR1443 and AWR1243 devices can be set to operate in three different modes, based on the state of the SOP (sense on power) lines (see Figure 13). These lines are only sensed during boot up of the AWR device.
Mechanical Mounting of PCB The field of view of the radar sensor is orthogonal to the PCB. The L-brackets provided with the AWR1443 and AWR1243 EVM kit, along with the screws and nuts help in the vertical mounting of the EVM.
All ESD precautions must be taken while using and handling the EVM. Regulatory Information The AWR1443 and AWR1243 evaluation modules (AWR1443BOOST and AWR1243BOOST) are in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of TI's EU Declaration of Conformity is available here.
