AWR1443: AWR idle current consumption

Part Number: AWR1443

Hello, I am interested in the idle current when the radar device is on but not transmitting (i.e., before or after SensorStart/SensorStop). Could this measurement be added to the Table "Average Power Consumption at Power Terminals" in the datasheet?

Average Power Consumption at Power Terminals

  • Hello Bill,

    This is not something we characterize but we provide an easy way to get approximate power measurements of the device on the EVM. You can remove R118 and then measure the current across jumper P5 to get an idea of how much power the device is consuming in different use cases.

    Regards,
