PRODUCTION DATA.
A high resolution LED projector can be created by using a DLP chip set comprised of a 0.65 WXGA DMD (DLP650LE) or a 0.65 1080p DMD (DLP650NE), a DLPC4422 controller, and the DLPA4000 PMIC/LED Driver. The DLPC4422 does the digital image processing, the DLPA4000 provides the needed analog functions for the projector, and the DMD is the display device for producing the projected image. In addition to the three DLP chips in the chip set, other components is required. At a minimum a Flash part is needed to store the software and firmware to control the DLPC4422. The illumination light that is applied to the DMD is typically from red, green, and blue LEDs. These are often contained in three separate packages, but sometimes more than one color of LED die may be in the same package to reduce the overall size of the projector. Power MOSFETs are needed external to the DLPA4000 so that high LED currents can be supported. For connecting the DLPC4422 to the front end chip for receiving images, the parallel interface is typically used. Connect the front end chip to the parallel interface, I2C to input commands to the DLPC4422.
The DLPA4000 has three built-in buck switching regulators to serve as projector system power supplies. Two of the regulators are fixed to 1.1 V and 1.8 V for powering the DLP chip set. The remaining buck regulator is available for general purpose use and its voltages are programmable. The regulators can be used to a drive variable-speed fans or to power other projector chips such as the front-end chip. The only power supply needed at the DLPA4000 input is SYSPWR from an external DC power supply or internal battery. The entire projector can be turned on and off by using a single signal called PROJ_ON. When PROJ_ON is high, the projector turns on and begins displaying images. When PROJ_ON is set low, the projector turns off and draws just microamps of current on SYSPWR.
