DLPC3470: DLPC3470 alternative

Part Number: DLPC3470
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPA2005, DLP2010LC, DLPC3479, DLP2010NIR, DLPC150

Hello TI Community,

Stock of the DLP3470CZEZ is nonexistent from TI, the standard distributors, and electronics brokers.  We have a design utilizing the DLPC3470, DLPA2005 and the DLP2010LC for a custom structured light application.  Are there any alternatives to the DLPC3470 that that will work with the DLPA2005 and DLP2010LC?  What about just the DLP2010LC?  We are projecting 7 binary patterns at a 200Hz rate.

I greatly appreciate any possible solutions to work around this chip shortage.

Best regards,

Zach

  • Hi Zach,

    Unfortunately no, the DLP2010LC DMD will only work DLPC3470.

    of our light control portfolio (3470,3478,3479) only the dual ASIC solution with DLPC3479 is in stock currently. However this is a far more premium (expensive) solution than what you are using.

    We do have a LC controller DLPC150 which is used with DLP2010NIR DMD. This in theory could be used, however it was tailor-made for spectroscopy application. and getting this set up for a pattern streaming application would be extremely involved to say the least. 

    This chip shortage is leaving alot of demand un-filled. I understand your frustration.

    Regards,
