Differences between 2 series

Part Number: DLI-3P-DLI41XX
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP9500UV, DLP7000UV, DLP4500, DLP9000, DLP7000, DLP6500FLQ, DLPC900, DLPC910

Hi,

I would like to know the differences between DLI-3P-DLI41XX and DLPLCRXX00EVM (4500, 6500, 9000). Which one has better resolution and speed? Are they both good for 488nm, 405nm, and 589nm laser light? What are the prices for each product of the 2 series? Thanks.

Best,

Charles

    Hello Charles,

    There are quite a few differences between the evaluation modules you listed. The best choice would depend on the requirements that you have for your application. 

    The DMDs in these kits that do not have the 'UV' phrase in the name all support the 488nm and 589nm wavelengths.. The DLi kit would hook up to our DLP7000UV and DLP9500UV DMDs, which are specified for 363-420nm. The DLP4500 and DLP6500BFYE support 420-700nm for the visible window. There are infrared versions of the DLP4500 available also.

    Our type A package devices with the visible windows are spec'ed at 400-700nm.

    The performance on these kits is dependent on the components and firmware and software. In general, the larger devices coupled with FPGA-based controllers will have the higher pattern rates. For resolution, the DLP9000 has 4M+ pixels, and the DLP7000 has ~800K pixels. The other DMDs would fall in between this range. 

    We do have various comparison tables for the components and EVMs:

    For the EVMs, you would go to the Applications tab, scroll down, and them click on products and developments for each application (Machine Vision, 3D Printing, etc).

    The prices should be updated on our ti.com website.

    Let us know what other questions you might have.

    Thank you,

    Matt

    Hi Matt,

    Thank you very much for the useful info! Could you please let me know the differences between Package Group "CLGA | 203" and "CLGA | 355"? What will that influence?

    Thanks,

    Charles

    Hi Charles,

    The DLP6500FLQ has the 203 pins and the DLP9000FLS has 355 pins. LGA stands for Land Grid Array. 

    The 6500 has 2M+ pixels in a smaller array and form factor vs. the 9000 device which has 4M+ pixels in a bigger footprint. The tradeoff for the bigger footprint and cost is the faster pattern rate and resolution of the 9000 vs. the 6500. The extra pads are needed to access all of the pixels, and while we were at it, we designed the device to be able to handle more data lanes and keep the load time down for the array.

    In summary, the number of pins plays a big role in determining how fast the frame data can come into the DMD from the controller.

    For an apples to apples comparison, the number of giga bits possible per second for pre-stored patterns is:

    DLP6500 w/ DLPC900: 19.7

    DLP6500 w/ DLPC910: 24

    DLP9000 w/ DLPC900(x2): 38

    DLPC9000X w/ DLPC910: 61

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Matt
