IWR6843: Power consumption

Errol Leon6

Part Number: IWR6843

Hello team,

My customer encountered a new issue with a custom configuration with the IWR6843. Using 2TX, 4RX the board comes down, but with the same profile and only 3Rx antennas enabled, the board is fine. The customer suspects this is due to a power issue, and was wondering if there were more details on the IWR6843’s power consumption. The following is taken from p27 of the datasheet.

Thanks!

Hi,

The power consumption details is currently unavailable.
What is the spec for the power source the customer is using? the recommnedation is 5V, 3A. Also what do you mean by "the board comes down", can you provide some more details on the failure?

Regards,
Charles O
