Mistral LogoTexas Instruments (TI) Radar sensor data capture card reference design based on ECP5 FPGA, designed by Mistral – Lattice works closely with industry leaders TI and Mistral to bring this powerful and easy-to-use, ready-for-production design.

Real-time data bridge – The DCA1000 evaluation module (EVM) provides real-time data capture and streaming for two- and four-lane low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) traffic from TI radar-sensor BoosterPack™ EVMs. The data can be streamed out via 1-Gbps Ethernet in real time. The data format can be raw sensor data or headerized multimode data.

Hardware ecosystem support – The board is an optimized and flexible design that works with multiple mmWave EVMs from TI as well as mmWave modules designed by Mistral.
