DLPS039F December 2015 – April 2019 TPS99000-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS99000-Q1 includes four low drop out regulators, dedicated to specific internal functions:
The positive output LDO regulators are all designed to operate from the same nominal 6 V input as is needed by the LED selection FET gate driver supply input, DRVR_PWR and the DMD mirror voltage regulator, VIN_DRST. However, care must be taken to isolate the sensitive analog circuit power supply inputs from switching noise, through dedicated sub-planes and supply filtering techniques. Noise on the analog supply rails will directly impact system dimming range performance, limiting stable operation at low brightness levels.
The negative 8 V LDO is designed to use the DMD_VRESET power rail as its power source. (Note that this usage implies that the TIA/photodiode path will not be available for use until the DMD is in a powered up state.)
CAUTION
Applications that do not use a photodiode do not require the -8 V regulator. VLDOT_M8 and VIN_LDOT_M8 may be left disconnected if the option in the DLPC230 SW to prevent enabling of the –8 V LDO is selected. If these pins are not connected, care must be taken to confirm that the -8 V LDO is not enabled. If this regulator is enabled while the pins are disconnected, permanent damage may be caused to the device.
