6.1 Overview

The DLPC3421 is a display controller for the DLP160CP DMD. The DLPC3421 controller is part of the chipset composed of the controller, DLP160CP DMD, and DLPA200x (which includes an LED driver) or DLPA3000 PMIC. When used with the XC7S50-2CSGA324C4493 FPGA, the chipset supports HD Mode. To ensure reliable operation of the DLP chipset, the DLPC34xx must always be used with the supported devices shown in Table 5-3.

The DLPC34xx display controller provides interfaces along with data and image processing functions that are optimized for small form factor and power-constrained display applications. Applications include projection within mobile projectors, smart displays, smartphones, tablets, augmented reality glasses, mobile accessories, smart home displays, and Pico projectors. The DLPC3421 is not a front-end processor; therefore, standalone projectors must include a separate front-end chip to interface to the outside world (for example, a video decoder, HDMI receiver, or USB I/F chip).
