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.
