Evaluation
Once suitable hardware platforms are identified, use the below information to determine which TI offerings best fit your needs and finalize your platform selection. We provide a broad selection of hardware, tools and associated software supporting a range of applications and engineering efforts. These can be used as the basis for your evaluation and beyond for development as well.
Step 1 of evaluation: select your hardware
Start evaluating our spectroscopy and optical networking products portfolio by leveraging the following resources.
Evaluation module | Typical applications | Illumination wavelength (nm) | Display resolution (Max) | Array diagonal (in) | Controller evaluation module | Reference design |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
DLPNIRNANOEVM | NIR spectroscopy, | 900 - 1700 | 0.4 | 0.2 | N/A | TIDA-00554 |
DLPNIRSCANEVM | NIR spectroscopy, | 1350 - 2490 | 1.0 | 0.45 | N/A | TIDA-00155 |
Step 2 of evaluation: download & set up software
Software | Controllers | Description |
---|---|---|
DLPC150 firmware | DLPC150 | This is the DLPC150 configuration and support firmware. |
DLP NIRscan nano GUI | DLPC150 | This is the graphical user interface (GUI) for the DLP NIRscan nano EVM. |
Development
Simplify your development tasks, and accelerate your time-to-market with our proven hardware, software tools. Everything you need to move forward to production is at your fingertips. We are here to help you navigate the display and projection development process and accelerate your system design.
Third-party development
To best meet your design needs and accelerate your time-to-market, DLP® Products works with a variety of third parties to help with everything from optical modules and hardware design to specialty software and other production services.
There are several options for integrating optical modules into your design. For applications focused on an application processor and DMD display interface electronics, an off-the-shelf DLP optical engine may be the right choice. For more complex designs, custom optics are available from our third-party network of optical module manufacturers and design houses.
