IWR6843AOPEVM: IWR6843AOPEVM heat

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843AOP

Hi champs,

When running the 68xx_aop_mmwave_sdk_hwa code example on the IWR6843AOPEVM, it becomes rapidly very hot.

When trying on another IWR6843AOPEVM board, the behavior is the same.

Is this something expected?

Where could we find additional information about IWR6843AOP management on top of this thread https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/816332?

Thank you

Best regards,

Guillaume

    Hi Guillaume,

    Due to the size of the EVM it is expected that it will heat up for certain use cases, particularly high duty cycle use cases. User need to take care to ensure the junction temperature does not exceed 105 deg C, exceeding that may shorten the lifespan of the device.
