The FPGA has three PWM outputs which typically correspond to red, green, and blue illumination colors. The PWM duty cycles can be adjusted to set a reference voltage to an external illumination driver circuit as needed to balance colors and adjust output brightness.
A typical PWM circuit is shown in Figure 4-1. In this example, each PWM is low-pass filtered and the outputs connect to a 4:1 analog multiplexer. An optional resistor is shown in parallel with the capacitor for each filter to act as a voltage divider if needed to match the required illumination driver reference voltage range. The PWM output frequency is 40 kHz at maximum duty cycle.
The PWM_SELx signals can be used to select which output PWM is multiplexed to the illumination driver while the DMD sequence is executing. Table 4-2 describes the expected relationship between the PWM_SELx outputs and the multiplexer output.
PWM_SEL0 | PWM_SEL1 | MULTIPLEXER OUTPUT | TYPICAL SEQUENCE COLOR |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 0 | None | None |
0 | 1 | PWM1 | Red |
1 | 0 | PWM2 | Green |
1 | 1 | PWM3 | Blue |
