1.2 What is in the DLP471TEEVM, DLP472TEEVM, DLP650TEEVM, and DLPC7540EVM Evaluation Modules?

The DLP471TEEVM, DLP472TEEVM, DLP650TEEVM, and DLPC7540EVM are designed to be used in pairs. The DMD EVMs cannot be operated without the Controller EVM, DLPC7540EVM.

The DLP471TEEVM, which includes the DLP471TE display chip, the DLP472TEEVM, which includes the DLP472TE display chip, and the DLP650TEEVM, which includes the DLP650TE display chip, include the two flex cables required to connect to the DLPC7540EVM. DLPC7540EVM includes all circuitry required to drive the DLP471TE, DLP472TE, and DLP650TE display chips.

The DLPC7540EVM which consists of a formatter board (Figure 1-2) and an HDMI input processing front-end board (Figure 1-3), includes a DLPC7540 controller, three DLPA100s which serve as the power management and motor drivers, and other system circuitry such as the Vx1 interface front-end and system fan control.

The DLPC7540EVM can be programmed with either the DLP471TE, DLP472TE, or DLP650TE firmware which is available on the DLPC7540 product page. This firmware allows the DLPC7540EVM to drive either display chip. Figure 1-2, Figure 1-3, and Figure 1-4 show the top side of all boards making up the EVMs.

Note:

The DLPC7540EVM only supports two color wheels and has limited support for three color wheels system.

Note:

Figure 1-2, Figure 1-3, and Figure 1-4 do not show the necessary flex cables (JF08R0R051020UA) needed to pair to DLPC7540EVM.
