Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP5500

Sir,

Can you suggest latest analog micro mirror other than TALP 1000B ? Please specify important applications of the same.

    Jasna,

    TI is not in development of any new catalog analog mirror products.  I'm not aware of any direct alternate sources of product similar to the TALP1000B.  For some applications, TI's DMD products can be an alternative solution.

    Please have a look at http://ti.com/mems for more information about our DLP products, which are digital micromirror arrays. We currently have the DLP1700 and DLP5500 chipsets available.

    If you could share more about your intended application, I could help you determine if there is a DLP solution.

    Best regards,

    Pascal

    Sir,

    Thanks for your reply..........

    Can i design a scanner for medical application using 'Digital Micro Mirror Display' devices provided by Texas?Can you suggest a micro mirror (analog or digital) for the same.Medical applications like Optical Coherence Tomography(OCT).

    Jasna,

    TI does not provide designs or complete systems based on DLP technology. TI provides DLP technology in the form of chipsets, which include Digital Micromirror Devices (DMD) which can be used in a number of demanding and advanced optical applications.

    I do not have a reference design showing the use of DLP DMD in an Optical Coherence Tomography application. You will need to understand both the DMD functionality and capabilities, and the requirements of an OCT system in order to determine if DLP technology is a good fit. There is a very strong probability that there is a role for DLP in OCT.

    If you find that it is a good fit, then there are paths which we can suggest to support your adoption and use of DLP technology.

    Best regards,

    Pascal

    Sir,

    Can you tell me whether DMD is able to provide mirror tilt in axial and lateraral directions(X or Y) by controlling voltage given to electrodes,or the mirror is able to tilt only to two positions on and off (unable to give intermediate positions)

    Jasna,

    The DMD mirrors can only tilt along a single axis. The tilt axis is along one of the diagnals of the mirror. All mirrors in the array share the same orientation of this tilt axis.

    The tilt is "binary", meaning that there are only two tilts: +12/-12 degrees. There is no defined "flat" or "off" tilt - that is not an active state. The mirror tilt is determined by a binary logic value (1 or 0) which is written to the memory cell which underlies each mirror. Writing the binary values to the whole array, then activating the mirrors occurs in two steps.

    Best regards,

    Pascal

    Sir,

    Laser light is directed onto DLP5500 and reflected light is made to fall onto an object (for imaging application) . Can you suggest a method to find area(of object) that can be covered using the given DMD.

    Hello Jasna,

    The area that can be covered is very dependent on your system optics.  I am not completely sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish.  

    If you could share a little more information about what you are trying to do it might help me understand.  If you do not wish to share such information in this public forum, then send me a friend invite.
