2.1 Block Diagram

Figure 2-5 shows the functional block diagram. The EVM contains the essential components for the TI mmWave radar system, DCDC, SFLASH, SOP configuration, Filter, TI mmWave Radar chip, and a USB to universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) converter, two 60-pin Samtec connectors for interfacing with the DCA1000 and MMWAVEICBOOST.
