[FAQ] What are valid DLP®︎ Pico chipset combinations?

DLP® Pico technology is a chipset solution which typically includes a DMD, a controller and Power Management IC (PMIC).  The chipset along with accompanying firmware for the controller are designed for a specific application like video display, structure light pattern generation or 3D printing.

The controller firmware checks for the following at boot up stage to ensure reliable operation:

1. A valid and supported chipset combination of DMD, controller and PMIC.
2. It also checks for the connectivity including illumination (LED).

The firmware will shut down if any of the above test fails.

The following tables list the supported and valid chipset combination for the target applications:

Display & Projection

These chipsets are designed for creating a visual image. The input data undergoes image processing to enhance visual experience for a human eye. 

The components listed in a row are valid and supported chipset combination. For example

a valid combination – DLP230GP, DLPC3432 and DLPA2005

 or               DLP230GP, DLPC3432 and DLPA3000

3D Scan and Machine Vision – A structured light application ( < 0.47-in array )

These chipsets are designed to create structured light patterns for a camera capture. Such chipsets accurately reproduced the input patterns on projected image and provides a pixel level control.
