1.3 Description
The AWR1243 device is an integrated single-chip FMCW transceiver capable of operation in the 76- to
81-GHz band. The device enables unprecedented levels of integration in an extremely small form factor.
AWR1243 is an ideal solution for low power, self-monitored, ultra-accurate radar systems in the
automotive space.
The AWR1243 device is a self-contained FMCW transceiver single-chip solution that simplifies the
implementation of Automotive Radar sensors in the band of 76 to 81 GHz. It is built on TI’s low-power 45-
nm RFCMOS process, which enables a monolithic implementation of a 3TX, 4RX system with built-in PLL
and A2D converters. Simple programming model changes can enable a wide variety of sensor
implementation (Short, Mid, Long) with the possibility of dynamic reconfiguration for implementing a
multimode sensor. Additionally, the device is provided as a complete platform solution including reference
hardware design, software drivers, sample configurations, API guide, and user documentation.

5 Specifications
The 1.3V (1.0V) and 1.8V power supply ripple specifications mentioned in Table 5-2 are defined to meet a
target spur level of –105dBc (RF Pin = –15dBm) at the RX. The spur and ripple levels have a dB to dB
relationship, for example, a 1dB increase in supply ripple leads to a ~1dB increase in spur level. Values
quoted are rms levels for a sinusoidal input applied at the specified frequency.

NOTE
The load capacitors, Cf1 and Cf2 in Figure 5-4, should be chosen such that Equation 1 is
satisfied. CL in the equation is the load specified by the crystal manufacturer. All discrete
components used to implement the oscillator circuit should be placed as close as possible to
the associated oscillator CLKP and CLKM pins.Note that Cf1 and Cf2 include the parasitic
capacitances due to PCB routing.

In the case where an external clock is used as the clock resource, the signal is fed to the CLKP pin only;
CLKM is grounded. The phase noise requirement is very important when a 40-MHz clock is fed externally.
Table 5-7 lists the electrical characteristics of the external clock signal.

6.1 Overview
The AWR1243 device is a single-chip highly integrated 77-GHz transceiver and front end that includes
three transmit and four receive chains. The device can be used in long-range automotive radar
applications such as automatic emergency braking and automatic adaptive cruise control. The AWR1243
has extremely small form factor and provides ultra-high resolution with very low power consumption. This
device, when used with the TDA3X or TD2X, offers higher levels of performance and flexibility through a
programmable digital signal processor (DSP); thus addressing the standard short-, mid-, and long-range
automotive radar applications.

The data payload is constructed with the following three types of information:
• Chirp profile information
• The actual chirp number
• A2D data corresponding to chirps of all four channels
– Interleaved fashion
• Chirp quality data (configurable)
The payload is then split across the four physical data lanes and transmitted to the receiving D-PHY. The
data packet packing format is shown in Figure 6-5

(1)
The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2)
RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6)
Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.
