6.1 Overview

The DLPA3085 is a highly integrated power management IC optimized for DLP Pico Projector systems. It targets accessory applications up to several hundreds of lumen and is designed to support a wide variety of high-current LEDs. Section 6.2 shows a typical DLP Pico Projector implementation using the DLPA3085.

Part of the projector is the projector module, which is an optimized combination of components consisting of, for instance, DLPA3085, LEDs, DMD, DLPC chip, memory, and optional sensors and fans. The front-end chip controls the projector module. More information about the system and projector module configuration can be found in a separate application note.

Within the DLPA3085, several blocks can be distinguished. The blocks are listed below and subsequently discussed in detail:

  • Supply and monitoring: Creates internal supply and reference voltages and has functions such as thermal protection
  • Illumination: Block to control the light. Contains drivers, a strobe decoder for the LEDs, and a power conversion
  • External Power FETs: Capable for 16A
  • DMD: Generates voltages and their specific timing for the DMD. Contains regulators and DMD/DLPC buck converters
  • Buck converter: General purpose buck converter
  • Auxiliary LDOs: Fixed voltage LDOs for customer usage
  • Measurement system: Analog front end to measure internal and external signals
  • Digital control: SPI interface, digital control
