PRODUCTION DATA
The DMD features a built-in thermal diode that measures the temperature at one corner of the die outside the micromirror array. The thermal diode can be interfaced with the TMP461 temperature sensor, as shown in Figure 7-2. The serial bus from the TMP461 can be connected to the DLPC964 industrial controller to enable its temperature sensing features. See the DLPC964 Digital Micromirror Device Controller Data Sheet for more information about how to query the temperature readings.
The DLPC964 industrial controller can configure the TMP461 to read the DMD temperature sensor diode. This data can be leveraged to incorporate additional functionality in the overall system design such as adjusting illumination power, fan speeds, active cooling temperatures, or flow rates, and so on. All communication between the TMP461 and the DLPC964 industrial controller are completed using the I2C interface. The TMP461 connects to the DMD via pins E23 and F22, as outlined in Pin Configuration and Functions.
