DLP6500FYE: DLPLCR65EVM with DLPLCRC900EVM controller

Part Number: DLP6500FYE
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPLCR65EVM, DLPLCRC900EVM, , DLP6500FLQ, DLPC900

Tool/software:

Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

I am planning to buy DLPLCR65EVM chipset with DLP6500FYE DMD along with the  DLPLCRC900EVM controller. My application involves projecting 8-bit greyscale images on the DMD in the beam path where DMD is kept at 45deg angle.

Does this combination has the feature to display 8-bit greyscale images using their standard GUI application?

Secondly what is the difference between DLP6500FYE and DLP6500FLQ.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

  • Hello Sourabh,

    This can definitely be done.  If you have only 400 patterns, you can store them in controller memory and display them.

    Or you can stream them as a video over HDMI or DP.  This platform is well suited for this.

    The DLPC900 controller can support either DMD, but we only have a DMD board EVM for the DLP6500FYE DMD for use with the DLPLCRC900EVM.

    Electrically they are the same, but the DLP65000FYE is a wafer level package DMD and the DLP6500FLQ DMD is a "Type A" DMD.  The package interface is quite different.  The Type A DMDs are well suited for harsher industrial environments.

  • Thank you for the explanation! I appreciate your guidance regarding the DLPC900 controller and the compatibility of the DMDs.

    We have a follow-up query:
    We are working with an 8-bit image of a single image (gradient) that we would like to project. Our goal is not to project all 400 patterns but rather this single image. Could you suggest the best approach to achieve this using the DLPC900 controller and the compatible DMDs?

    Looking forward to your insights! 

  • Hello Sourabh,

    If it just the one pattern, you can load it up through USB into controller memory in Pattern On-the-Fly Mode and run it as many times as you like.

    If you want it to load automatically, it can be placed in Flash memory to be used in "Pre-Stored Pattern Mode" and again run it as needed.

  • Thank you, Fizix, for the clear and detailed explanation! It really helps to understand how to work with both 'Pattern On-the-Fly Mode' using USB and 'Pre-Stored Pattern Mode' with Flash memory. I truly appreciate your input, and if I have any doubts in the future, I'll be sure to reach out\.
