8.1 Application Information
Key device features driving the following applications are:
- Integration of Radar Front End and Programmable MCU
- Flexible boot modes: Autonomous Application boot using a serial flash or external boot over SPI.
The IWR1642 can be a radar sensor, or can be combined with an MSP432, or for LVDS processing with a LVDS to DSP subsystem for more advanced applications. Some applications are:
- Liquid and solid level sensing for process sensors or industrial automation
- Industrial proximity sensing, non contact sensing for security, traffic monitoring, and industrial transportation
- Sensor fusion of camera and radar instruments for security, factory automation, robotics
- Sensor fusion with multiple camera and radar instruments for object identification, manipulation, and flight avoidance for security, robotics, material handling or drone devices
- People counting
- Gesturing
- Motion detection
