AWR1843AOP: Reason and Specifications for Using Baud Rate 921600 bps for UART Data Reception in AWR1843AOP

Hisana M R

Part Number: AWR1843AOP

Hello TI Community,

I am working with the AWR1843AOP radar module and I have noticed that the specified baud rate for UART data reception is 921600 bps. I would like to understand the reason and specific considerations behind using this particular baud rate.

Could you please provide insights into why the baud rate of 921600 bps was chosen for UART data reception in the AWR1843AOP? Are there any advantages or performance-related reasons for this specific baud rate selection?

Additionally, I am curious to know if there are any alternative baud rates that can be used for UART data reception with the AWR1843AOP without compromising the performance and reliability.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Hisana,

Based on our internal calculations we found that this is the best baud rate. Along with that it is a pre-defined baud rate as well which is supported by other devices inherently, so we have chosen.
In your demo you can modify it as well if you require. Please refer the SDK driver.
