DLPDLCR2000EVM: Custom FFC Cables for DLPDLCR2000EVM Module

Demetrius Curry
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: DLPDLCR2000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPC2607

Tool/software:

Hello everyone,

I am currently developing a product using the DLPDLCR2000EVM module for projecting images. However, the space available for the light engine is limited and does not accommodate the entire board and light engine combination.

I believe that using longer flex cables for the DMD and LED could allow me to place the light engine in the confined space while positioning the rest of the components elsewhere. After some research, I found that the module uses Nicomatic brand FFC cables, which can be custom-made.

To proceed with ordering custom FFC cables, I need the following specifications:

  1. FFC Pitch: 50mm, 100mm, 125mm, 127mm, 254mm
  2. FFC Material: Black Polyester, Kapton, White Polyester
  3. FFC Style: B3, B5, B7, B8, or Custom
  4. FFC Connectors: 2 - 50
  5. FFC Plating: Gold, Tin
  6. FFC Length: 40mm - 9999mm
  7. FFC Termination Left: 406, 510
  8. FFC Termination Right: 406, 510
  9. FFC Shielding: Without, With
  10. FFC Shielding Type: External, Floating, Internal 1, Internal 2

Could anyone provide guidance or share their experience with custom FFC cables for this module? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

    Hello Demetrius,

    Welcome to DLP forum and thank you your interest in DLP technology.

    The flex cable are custom and they depend on the optical engine interface. These flex cables are provided with the optical engine manufacture. You need to work with Optical engine manufacturer for the DMD flex cable.

    This chipset uses DLPC2607 controller. Please refer to DLPC2607 datasheet for layout guidelines (10.1.7 Maximum, Pin-to-Pin, PCB Interconnects Etch Lengths). The flex cable should comply with those requirements.

    regards,

    Vivek
