AWR1642BOOST: Heat sink area problem

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

Dear support team:

I found there is a heat sink area introduced by the datasheet (AWR1642 revB).

There are two questions about it:

What’s the heat sink area meaning?

In my opinion, is this area designed for us adding the self-designed heat sink?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Roger

    Hello Roger,

    You are right. This area basically has exposed copper connected to ground vias connecting to the AWR chip. So you could design a heat sink which would contact this copper area and hence help dissipate the heat from the AWR.
