IWR6843: IWR6843 for SIL2 application

Alessandro Spinetti1

Part Number: IWR6843

Hi all,

in the datasheet of the IWR6843 was written that this chip is SIL2 Targeted. What it means?

Do you include or do you plan to add in the future a lockstep architecture for one or for both of the inside processors (DSP or ARM)?

I see that the chip has a lot of feature that can be used to identify a failure of some parts of it but to have a complete SIL2 system you need also that the processing has to be made in a lockstep architecture.

Thank you.

Alessandro.

Hello Alessandro,

There is a variant of IWR6843 which is targeted for SIL2 capability. Please see your local TI sales representative for more information (such as architecture, etc.) as it is available under NDA.

Thanks,
John

Hi John,
we have request the NDA from our local TI sales representative.
Anyway, could it be possible to use the SafeTI library that we used for Hercules with the IWR or do you plan to make a revision of that library?

Thanks,
Alessandro.

Hi Alessandro,

The Hercules library would not be applicable for mmWave devices. Information on future development is not available on this public forum but may be available under NDA via your local TI representative.

Regards,
John
