DMD Discovery™ 3000 Chip Set
DAD1000 DMD Power & Reset Driver
- Generates reset control of 16 banks of DMD mirrors
DDC3000 Digital Controller
- Provides high speed LVDS data and control interface for user interface to the DMD and provides mirror reset and timing infomation to the DAD1000.
- Supports random row addressing.
Discovery™ 3000 Kit
The Discovery™ 3000 Kit is a versatile platform for high performance and high resolution application development. It offers developers the flexibility of the 0.7" XGA DMD or 0.9" SXGA+ DMD. When integrated with light source and optics, this unique device creates binary light patterns with speed, precision, and efficiency far surpassing that of other spatial light modulators. The Discovery™ 3000 Chip Set provides substantial performance improvements including increased data rate, frame rate and flexible random row addressing.
The 0.7 XGA LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signal) DMD consists of a 1024 x 768 array of micro-mechanical mirrors on a 3.68 micrometer pitch. Each mirror can be individually deflected at +/- 12° about a hinged diagonal axis. Deflection polarity (positive or negative) of mirrors is individually controlled by changing the binary state of the underlying CMOS control circuitry and mirror reset signal.
The 1024 x 768 mirrors are driven in a block reset fashion allowing for either global or phased reset. Effectively, the DMD 0.7" XGA 12° LVDS is an electrical input, optical output memory device.
The DMD Discovery™ 3000 Chip Set features the DMD and other supporting devices. Unlike TI DMD controllers optimized for projection display, Discovery™ 3000 is designed to support a wide variety of DMD applications by delivering maximum flexibility in formatting and sequencing data and resulting light patterns.
