DLP3030PGUQ1EVM: Implementation Questions

Arita Yoshiki
Prodigy 10 points
Part Number: DLP3030PGUQ1EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP3030Q1EVM, DLPC120-Q1, DLP3020-Q1, DLP5530S-Q1, DLP4620S-Q1, DLP4620SQ1EVM

Tool/software:

I am planning to purchase and evaluate the DLP3030PGUQ1EVM.

I have a few questions.

- I would like to know the dimensions of the DLP3030PGUQ1EVM (external dimensions, etc.)

- I would like to know the circuit diagram of the DLP3030Q1EVM

- I would like to know the optical layout of the DLP3030PGUQ1EVM (Zemax data, etc.)

- I would like to know the environmental resistance of the DLP3030PGUQ1EVM.

  Is it vibration and shock resistant enough to be installed in a car?

- What is the size of the display area on the screen?

- Can other DLPs be connected to the DLP3030Q1EVM?

Please answer.

    Hello Arita Yoshiki,

    Thank you for reaching out to us. 

    1. Dimensions: Excluding the heatsinks, about 160 mm x 100 mm x 75 mm.
    2. You can find all hardware and optical design resources here
    3. I would like some time to find the vibration and shock resistance information for you. However, please keep in mind that the evaluation modules and PGUs provided by TI are intended for evaluation purposes only. 
    4. The DLP3030Q1-DMD can display an image of resolution 860x480. I believe the projected image size, at the diffuser, is 70mm x 17.5 mm.
    5. The DLPC120-Q1 controller only supports DLP3030-Q1 and DLP3020-Q1 DMDs.
      Have you also considered the DLP5530S-Q1 and DLP4620S-Q1 chipsets? They have larger set of features when compared to the DLP3030-Q1. You can see the comparison here.

    Thank you,

    Regards,
    Aishwarya

    Hello again,

    We do not perform any kind of stress/vibration tests on our PGUs. These are intended for new customers to evaluate the performance only. 

    Thank you,

    Regards,
    Aishwarya

    Thank you for your answer.

    I checked "Resource Explorer" & "Other Chipsets".

    Additional questions.

    -Is there an Outline for DLP3030PGUQ1EVM? (Not only the external dimensions but also the details)

    - Is the PGUQ1EVM's optical system "Low_Cost_Optical_Design_Example-Gen 1.5 HUD PGU"? (Not X-Plate?)

    Low Cost Design:

    X-Plate Design:

    -Is it possible to connect other evaluation sets to "DLP3030PGUQ1EVM"? (For example, "DLP4620SQ1EVM")

    -There is LED feedback control, which parameters are kept constant? (Brightness & Chromaticity?)

    -What is the LED part number used in DLP3030PGUQ1EVM?

    -I would like to try making the brightness higher with mono-green.

     Can I change it to monochrome using software? (R33%, G33%, B33%→G100%)

    ,

    I have assigned the thread to an expert on the chipset. he will get back to you soon.

    Thank you,

    Hi ,

    What are you trying to achieve with the DLP3030PGUQ1EVM? This would help us decide if this is the right chipset or evaluation module (EVM) for you. As Aishwarya mentioned, there are a few other chipsets that have more features, but depending on your requirements and constraints, this may or may not be what you are looking for. Please let us know.

    What do you mean by outline? What kind of details are you looking for? Just mechanical? More than that? Please be specific so we know what to provide.

    Low Cost Design:

    X-Plate Design:

    Are you asking if the low-cost design is not x-plate design? If so, I will ask our optics team if it is or not.

    Arita Yoshiki said:

    -Is it possible to connect other evaluation sets to "DLP3030PGUQ1EVM"? (For example, "DLP4620SQ1EVM")

    The chipsets for these designs are different and use different DMD controllers. What are you trying to achieve? The DLP3030PGUQ1EVM consists of the DLP3030-Q1 DMD, DLPC120-Q1 controller IC, a C2000 MCU, and the projection optics. The DLP4620SQ1EVM, however, consists of the DLP$620S-Q1 DMD, DLPC231 controller, and an LED driver board. This has no optics engine. If you are asking about swapping the DMDs between these two EVMs, then that is not something either controller (parts prepended with "DLPC") supports.

    Arita Yoshiki said:

    -There is LED feedback control, which parameters are kept constant? (Brightness & Chromaticity?)

    Depending on the application, this PGU EVM supports a high dimming ratio (brightness change), but the color duty is changed by Texas Instruments. You would have to request the color duty you want. Please let us know if/when you need this.

    Arita Yoshiki said:

    -What is the LED part number used in DLP3030PGUQ1EVM?

    Here is a reference design link that contains the BOM. Linking it here so you always have a spare copy rather than sending it here. You can also find reference designs on the DMD controller IC's page (DLPC120).

    This should be possible, but as I said above, TI would have to make this file for you.
