PRODUCTION DATA.
The active array temperature can be computed analytically from measurement points on the outside of the package, the package thermal resistance, the electrical power, and the illumination heat load.
Relationship between array temperature and the reference ceramic temperature (thermocouple location TP1 in Figure 19) is provided by the following equations:
where
Electrical power dissipation of the DMD is variable and depends on the voltages, data rates, and operating frequencies.
Absorbed power from the illumination source is variable and depends on the operating state of the mirrors and the intensity of the light source.
Equations shown above are valid for a 1-chip DMD system with illumination distribution of 83.7% on the active array and 16.3% on the array border.
The following is a sample calculation for a typical projection application:
