DLP4710: Our own DMD PCB design connected to the evaluation control board

Part Number: DLP4710
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DLPDLCR4710EVM-G2

Hello.

We are designing a lithography application using the DMD4710 chip.

We will use the DLPDLCR4710EVM-G2 control board. But we will not use the Young Optics optical engine.

Instead we are designing:

* A 6-layer PCB to mount the DMD4710 chip using the neoconix interposer.

* We will use the  same 80pin ribbon (FFC typeA) cable to connect the control PCB to our DMD4710 PCB.

* We have seen in the ti forums that is not mandatory to use the W25Q16JV flash memory so we are not connecting the following terminals to the 104060-8017 Molex connector (on our DMD4710 PCB):

FLASH_PWR
EXT_M_SPI_CLK
EXT_M_SPI_DOUT
EXT_M_SPI_DIN
EXT_M_SPI_CSZ
EXT_S_SPI_CLK
EXT_S_SPI_DOUT
EXT_S_SPI_DIN
EXT_S_SPI_CSZ

I will really appreciate if you can take a look to my schematic. And please tell me if in "general" looks correct.

Because I am using a type A ribbon cable (just like young optics does) the pin 1 (on the molex connector) on the control board goes to pin 80 of the dmd pcb.

In the TI layout guidelines mention that the decoupling capacitors are minimum 220-nf. If I use the same recommended capacitors of 440-nf, would it be better? 

My PCB design looks like this:

  • Hello Mario,

    Thanks for the questions. Allow us a couple days to review your schematic and layout and we will get back to you with any comments and questions.

    Thanks,
    Kyle
  • Hi Mario,


    Q - In the TI layout guidelines mention that the decoupling capacitors are minimum 220-nf. If I use the same recommended capacitors of 440-nf, would it be better?
    >> Please use TI recommend decoupling capacitors, as those design is tested and stable.


    This is a duplicate query of this thread you raised : e2e.ti.com/.../730365

    So i am closing this thread and we will work on the other thread with your future questions.

    Thanks,
