DLPU108 May 2022 DLP5532-Q1
The DLP5532HBQ1EVM can be coupled to an optical engine (not included) to implement an automotive interior projection system. The detailed requirements of the optical engine are beyond the scope of this document, but the optical engine have separate red, green and blue illuminators. These are typically LEDs. The optical engine also needs to provide a photodiode in the illumination path before the DLP5532-Q1 DMD. The photodiode is used to control white point and brightness output.
Depending on the specifics of a customer design, customers must perform thermal analysis and simulation to determine the best type of cooling method required. The DLP5532HBQ1EVM supports three fans and active cooling feedback but the external fans themselves are not included in the DLP5532HBQ1 Electronics EVM. A heatsink for the DLP5532-Q1 DMD can also be needed for operation in high temperature ambient environments, but is not included in the DLP5532HBQ1EVM
When choosing your LED component (not included with this EVM) the end user must consult the LED data sheet supplied by the LED manufacturer to identify the EN62471 Risk Group Rating and review any potential eye hazards associated with the LED chosen. Always consider and implement the use of effective light filtering and darkening protective eye wear and be fully aware of surrounding laboratory-type setups when viewing intense light sources that may be required to minimize or eliminate such risks to avoid accidents related to temporary blindness.
