Texas Instruments DLP DMD Evaluation Modules (EVMs)

Texas Instruments DLP DMD Evaluation Modules (EVMs) work as part of a subsystem to evaluate the DLP500, DLP650, DLP670, and DLP900 digital micromirror devices (DMD). When the DLPLCR50XEVM is paired with the DLPLCRC900DEVM, users get pixel accurate control with 1-bit pattern rates up to 16,100Hz. When the Texas Instruments DLPLCR67EVM or DLPLCR90EVM is paired with the DLPLCRC900DEVM, users get pixel accurate control with 1-bit pattern rates up to 9,523Hz. If the DLPLCR65EVM is paired with the DLPLCRC900EVM, users get pixel accurate control with 1-bit pattern rates up to 9,523Hz.

The DLPLCRC900EVM houses a single DLPC DMD controller, allowing for configurable control of the DLPLCR65EVM and other compatible DMD evaluation modules. The DLPLCRC900DEVM houses two DLPC900 digital micromirror device (DMD) controllers, allowing for configurable control of the DLPLCR50XEVM, DLPLCR67EVM, DLPLCR90EVM, and other compatible DMD evaluation modules. Both DLPLCRC900EVM and the DLPLCRC900DEVM feature input/output triggers for convenient synchronization with cameras, sensors, or other peripheral devices. The added flexibility enables diverse architectures for industrial, medical, metrology, security, telecom, and instrumentation applications.

Each of these evaluation modules is the correct evaluation choice for designers needing a highly flexible development kit for incorporating DLP technology into a wide variety of light steering applications. These evaluation modules are an easy path for solutions that maximize resolution, optical throughput, and brightness in the DLP high-speed visible family.
