IWR6843AOP + SIL2
Radar sensors offer exceptional sensing capabilities for human detection in 3D.
IWR6843AOP, released in 2021, which enabled small form factors and classical FR4 PCB substrate is now available in functional safe variant with a TUEV SIL 2 certificate (sffs404).
Radar and safety
TI collateral supporting safety
To get an overview of the set of collateral, a good starting point is the list of?available Safety documentation for TI mmWave sensors.
Then for a deeper understanding of the safety mechanism, the?Introduction training for Enabling Functional Safety in TI mmWave Devices?will help assess the design effort.
While the webinar?Robotics safety and productivity with TI mmWave webinar?will give an overview of how the different pieces fit together.
Learning from the masters for the fulll picture
While the TUEV certificate is an important element to facilitate such design, many other aspects for radar safety certification need to be considered.
This systematic and holistic approach is highlighted by Lorenzo Nava?world-leading expert in radar system applications for safety?as per the title given to him in the?Safety Third: Autonomous Revolution?podcast (episode #5).
@19:00, the host, Erik Reynolds, asks:
What was the process like number one to develop a radar system just by itself, a commercial radar system by itself? And then number two, to do that with the goal of safety certification.
From then on the conversation covers many detailed aspects of what such a certification requires such as specific details of:
