3 Description

The IWRL684x mmWave Sensor device is TI's low power and Hardware Security Module (HSM) enabled

integrated single chip mmWave sensor based on FMCW radar technology. The device is capable of operation in

the 57GHz to 64GHz band and is designed for various industrial use cases. The device also takes advantage

of a low power architecture to enable power-constrained applications. The device is split into the following four

switchable power domains:

1. RF/Analog Sub-System: This block includes all the RF and Analog components required to transmit and

receive the RF signals.

2. Front-End Controller sub-System (FECSS): FECSS contains processor, responsible for radar front-end

configuration, control, and calibration.

3. Application Sub-System (APPSS): APPSS is where the device implements a user programmable ARM

Cortex-R5F allowing for custom control and industrial interface applications. Top Sub-System (TOPSS) and

Hardware Security Module (HSM) is part of the APPSS power domain and contains the clocking and power

management sub-blocks.

4. DSP Sub-Systems (DSS): TI's high-performance C66x DSP is integrated in it for radar signal processing.

The hardware accelerator block (HWA 1.2) supplements the DSP and ARM Cortex-R5F by offloading

common radar processing such as FFT, constant false alarm rate (CFAR), scaling, and compression.

The IWRL684x is specifically designed to be able to dynamically control the power states of the abovementioned

power domains based on application requirements. The device also features various low-power

states. These low-power states are achieved by turning off internal IP blocks of the device. IWRL684x device

also provides the option of retaining memory during these low power states to retain critical information such as

application image and RF profiles across different power modes.

A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is also provisioned in the device (available with secure part variants). The

HSM consists of a programmable Arm Cortex-M4 core and the necessary infrastructure to provide a secure zone

of operation within the device.

Additionally, the device is built with TI¡¯s low power 45nm RF CMOS process and enables unprecedented

levels of integration in an extremely small form factor. IWRL684x is designed for low power, self-monitored,

ultra-accurate radar systems in the industrial space for applications like high density people tracking & counting,

industrial robots and drones .
