IWR6843AOPEVM: Difference between rev F and G

Morten Nissov

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST,

I noticed rev G is significantly larger and visibly with more components, is there anywhere one can read on the differences, if any, as far as usage is concerned. E.g. should we be expecting any improvements in performance or improvements in, for example, storage/processing power?

Hello,

The RevG contains an additional 60 pin connector so that it can mate directly with the DCA1000 without needing to use the MMWAVEICBOOST which resulted in an increased board size.

The block diagram for the RevG and RevF are provided in the users guide, you can compare this to see what has changed.

Okay, so as a standalone sensor it should behave identically (in terms of performance)? With the only noticeable difference being it's physical size?

Hello,

Yes, that is correct.

Will it still be possible to purchase RevF? Or are they getting replaced by RevG from TI's side?

Our application has no use for the DCA1000 and the additional size of the revG is quite inconvenient.

Edit: Looking at the TI buy page for the IWR6843AOPEVM makes no distinction of Rev. I assume this means you buy the latest, so in this case G. Other distributors, similarly, also do not show the rev.
