DLP9000XFLS

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLP7000, DLP9500, DLPC910, DLPC900, DLP9000X, DLP9000

Hi,

I have a question on DLP9000XFLS. It seems that the device can operate up to approximately 15 kHz whereas DLP9000FLS can operate only up to 9.5 kHz. What is the main difference between the associated drivers?

Also, for the DLP7000 and DLP9500 chips there are high speed operation solutions available from some of the partner companies of TI such as Digital Light Innovations and these systems are generally based on an on board memory units. Is there a similar unit on the driving board of DLP9000FLS and DLP9000XFLS, if so how many binary patterns can be stored inside these units?

Thank you.

    Hi Deniz,

    Welcome to the DLP Forums and thanks for your question. The main difference between the drivers is that the DLP9000X uses an FPGA based driver (DLPC910) whereas the DLP9000 uses two ASICs (DLPC900).

    The DLP9000X/DLPC910 system doesn't have the ability to store any patterns, it accepts binary input data only. The system has to be designed around those two components with external memory. We have a TI Design for the 9000X: . Also take a look at the Discovery 4100 kit that TI has available for an example that uses the DLP7000.

    Hope this answers your question,
    Paul

    Thank you for your response Paul.

    So what you are saying is that if I purchase DLP9000X/DLPC910 package, I won`t be able to drive the DMD chip at the highest frequency (15 kHz). Instead, the operation will be limited by the bandwidth of the communication between the controller board and PC/microprocessor I am using.

    To be able to drive the DMD chip at 15 kHz which is supported by the DLPC910, I need to purchase an additional memory stick or chip whatever and probably implement a custom FPGA code.

    Is my understanding correct?

    Best,

    Deniz,

    You will definitely need to implement custom FPGA code. Our Discovery 4100 platform uses an applications processor (another FPGA) to run the code and then feed data to the DLCP910. The speed of the platform is limited by the speed of that applications processor and your board configuration. For fastest pattern rates, you would want to pull patterns from an on-board memory.

    Dear Deniz,

    ViALUX Company is an official DLP Design House Partner of Texas Instrument located in Germany.

    We have launched the V-9001 VIS Module at the beginning of 2016. It include the DLP9000X DMD Chip and reach global array switching rates up to 12 987 Hz.

    The V-9001 Module have complete Controller Suite Software (ALP-4) inclusive for instant use of DLP Chipset.

    Please feel free to contact us at dlp@vialux.de for further details.

    Kind regards

    Philipp, ViALUX GmbH

    Deniz,

    I just wanted to add to Philipp's comment that TI does in fact have reference design for the DLP9000X - I had forgotten about it in my earlier post. You can find it here: www.ti.com/.../tida-00570

    Hopefully between ViALUX and TI one of these works for your application!

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Thank you for all the information Paul. These were the answers that I was looking for.

    I need to check out the reference design.

    Best,

    Deniz
