DLP4500NIR: Driver & Controller for DMD

Miriam Kautzky
Prodigy 70 points
Part Number: DLP4500NIR
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP650LNIR, , DLPLCRC410EVM, DLPLCR65NEVM, DLPC410

Tool/software:

I am currently thinking about buying one of the DMDs DLP650LNIR and DLP4500NIR. Do I understand correctly that the driver and controller are integrated in the latter, i.e. do not have to be purchased separately, and not in the former?
Or have I completely forgotten some component that I can't use the DMD without?

Best regards,
Miriam

    Good afternoon Miriam,

    The DMD and Controller boards are sold separately, and the same applies to the evaluation modules (EVMs). In general, EVMs are designed to help customers get started quickly with development and to explore the technology. The evaluation modules are created to support customers having a working bench demonstration of controller and DMD integration and since there are a variety of DMDs to pair with controllers, we offer the DMD evaluation boards separately from the controller evaluation boards. This means that the controller IC is included in the controller evaluation kit and the DMD is included in the DMD evaluation kit.

    If you want to utilize the DLP650LNIR than you will need to purchase the controller (DLPC410) and DMD (DLP650LNIR). If you want to explore an EVM than you would want the controller EVM (DLPLCRC410EVM) which pairs with the DMD EVM (DLPLCR65NEVM). Additionally, the same concept would apply for the DLP4500NIR.

    If you would like reference setups, please take a look at the included Design Files under the appropriate product pages with additional collateral and notes found in the EVM User's Guide under technical documentation of the product page.

    Regards,

    Tristan Bottone
