Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP9500, DLPC410, DLP7000
I am trying to choose a DMD for my application where the spec I primarily care about is the binary image data throughput, i.e. # X pixels * # Y pixels * Maximum binary image refresh rate. However, I'm not sure how to extract this information from the datasheet.
For example, the DLP471TP says it supports 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) up to 60 Hz, for a data rate of 3840 * 2160 * 60 Hz = 497.7 MHz. However, I'm not sure where that comes from, and also I assume that is a grayscale image, and so potentially the data rate could be much faster for a binary image. Most other datasheets don't even give a refresh rate in the features.
The datasheets give a micromirror switching time, typically around 10 us, but I assume that's not what determines the ultimately fastest possible refresh rate for the entire DMD.
So how can I tell from the datasheet what will be the maximum binary image refresh rate?
