PRODUCTION DATA
The DMD features a built-in thermal diode that measures the temperature at one corner of the die outside the micromirror array. The DMD thermal diode pins E16 and E17 can be connected to the TMP411 temperature sensor as shown in Figure 8-2, and an external processor can interface with the TMP411 temperature sensor over I2C bus to allow monitoring of the DMD temperature. This temperature data can be leveraged to incorporate additional functionality in the overall system design such as adjusting illumination power, cooling fan speeds, TEC current inputs, and so forth, all with the idea of maintaining appropriate temperature control of the DMD.
