This reference design showcases the inbuilt autonomous monitoring functionality in mmWave radar sensors that enhances system efficiency by minimizing the processing load on the host. The design uses a safety diagnostic library (SDL) to run diagnostic tests on programmable digital cores: peripherals and memories. The reference design also configures and enables RF/analog monitor features of different hardware components. By assisting the user to implement their ASIL-B/SIL2-compliant products with various safety resources: this design lessens overall development time and time to market.
