JAJSMH2A July 2021 – August 2021 DLPC1438
PRODUCTION DATA
When higher resolution is required, a front-end FPGA design is provided which provides actuator control and synchronization, as well as providing a data bridge between an SPI output of a host processor and the parallel interface of the DLPC1438. This FPGA combined with the DLP300S/DLP301S, DLPC1438, and DLPA200x PMIC/LED driver complete the control electronics for the optical module of a 3D printer. In addition to the DLP chipset, other IC components may be needed including a flash device to store the software and firmware to control the DLPC1438.
A 405nm LED typically supplies the illumination for the DMD. In addition to LEDs, other light sources are supported.
For connecting the DLPC1438 controller to the host processing for receiving patterns or video data, the parallel interface is used. Connect an I2C interface to the host processor to send commands to the DLPC1438 controller.
