3 Description
The DLPC964 controller works with the DLP991U
digital micromirror device (DMD). The controller
provides a high-speed data and control interface
for the DMD to enable binary pattern rates up to
12.4kHz. These fast pattern rates set DLP technology
apart from other spatial light modulators and offer
a strategic advantage for equipment needing fast,
accurate, and programmable light steering capability.
The DLPC964 provides the required clocking pulses
and timing information to the DMD. The unique
capability and value offered by the controller make it
well-suited to support a wide variety of direct imaging,
industrial, and advanced display applications.
In DLP-based electronics solutions, image data is
100% digital from the DLPC964 input port to the
projected image. The image stays in digital form
and is never converted into an analog signal. The
DLPC964 processes the digital input image and
converts the data into a format needed by the DMD
for proper display. The DMD then steers the light to
the location determined by the pixel data loaded into
the DMD.
For complete electrical and mechanical specifications
of the DLPC964, see the AMD VirtexTM 7 product
specification.
