Part Number: IWR1642
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843,

Hi,

I read TI has a policy of 12 months notification before end-of-life.

Do we get this notification by mail after clicking on 'Alert me' on the chip webpage ?

For people counting, Justin Curewitz told me that:

« We recommend moving to IWR6843 as that is the device that will be receiving continued support. »

https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/827484?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=%2520user%253A414316

Does it mean, in a way, that TI is already planning to discontinue the IWR1642 ?

Best regards,

Massimo

Hi Massimo,

TI is not discontinuing the IWR1642. However, most customers will not be able to use this device due to regulations in the industrial space that limit transmission to the 60 GHz band. So we are focusing our efforts on the IWR6843. This means we will not be releasing new labs for the IWR1642 or updating the existing labs.

Regards,

Justin
