PRODUCTION DATA
At the high level, typical DLP500YX DMD systems include an illumination source (Lamp, LED, or Laser), an optical light engine containing both illumination and projection optics, mechanics, electronic components, power supplies, cooling systems, and software. The designer must first choose an illumination source and design the optical engine taking into consideration the optical relationship from the illumination source to the DMD, and from the DMD to the location of the projected image. The designer must then understand the electronic components of a DLP500YX DMD system, part of which includes one or more PCBs which contain the DMD and Controllers. In the TI DLP500YX based evaluation module design, the DLPC900 Controller board provides power, bit plane data, and control information to the DMD mounted on the DLP500YX DMD board. The DLPC900 Controller board also interfaces to the user system, accepting image data based on user provided timing (software or hardware triggered) and providing that data in bit plane format to the DMD to be projected on the imaging target.
