Three Question about DLPDLCR3010EVM

Hello,
We have three Question about DLPDLCR3010EVM.
Q1.I want to know more details about the power consumption of the light engine.
Q2.Can Ti provide smaller version of light engine?If can't,Can we replace the engine with a smaller one by myself?
Q3.The module consisted of two board,In fact we only need the Driver board for we don't need USB or HDMI.
Can we only use the driver board?And an external FPGA connected with the board use I2C and parallel 24bit interface for control and data transmission.

    Hello user,

    Q1: The power consumption of the DMD can be found in the DLP3010 datasheet. The total power consumption typical is listed with 162.2 mW. The overall system power consumption is highly depended on your application what LED current your are using and if CAIC is enabled.

    Q2: TI is not providing a smaller optical engine but we have optical engine manufactures who can help you with a new design. We listed our optical engine manufactures on following page. Please ensure that the flex cable connector matches the connector on the board.

    Q3: Yes you can use your own FPGA. Please keep in mind that the MSP430 is driving Projector_ON/OFF.

    Best regards,

    Nadine

    Hello,
    1.We want to lower brightness of the light engine to 25lm or 50lm,and We want to know the power consumption at that brightness.
    2.We want to know whether the picture quality has affected by low brightness like 25lm.

    Hello User,

    Our DLPDLCR3010EVM is designed for a 125 Lumens application. A LED current of 500mA will result in a brightness of 32lm and the power consumption for the whole EVM will be around 3.5 Watts. This includes the fans, the front-end chip, the MSP430 and every other component on the EVM.

    For applications which are specifically designed for 25lm the power consumption will be around 1 Watt.

    The picture quality will not be affected by a lower brightness application.

    We are more than happy to assist you with a low brightness design.

    Best regards,

    Nadine
