LMG1020EVM-006: vs TIDA-01573

Genius 12760 points
Part Number: LMG1020EVM-006
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TIDA-01573, , LMG1020

Comparing the schematic from
  TIDA-01573 - Nanosecond Laser Driver Reference Design for LiDAR (not for sale)
with
  LMG1020EVM-006 - LMG1020 GaN Low-side Driver + GaN FET LiDAR Evaluation Module (available on TI-Store)
it seems to be the same board.

What are the differences that they are not linked together?

Regards, Bernd

  • Hello Bernd,

    Thanks for asking. Yes, TIDA-01573 is considered as a design to utilize LMG1020 in LiDAR application, and its hardware is the same as LMG1020EVM-006. TIDA is focused on the process of having a good design, while the EVM is just to let you know the performance of LMG1020.

    Thanks and regards,

  • Lixing,

    unfortunately it is confusing when we state on the TIDA page "Fully assembled board (shown above) developed for testing and performance validation only, not available for sale." instead of referencing to the EVM when it is the same and buyable hardware.
