2.4.1.3 DMD Block Load

The DMD Block Load command allows the user to specify which of the DMD blocks are active. Only adjacent blocks are allowed. Mirrors in blocks that are not active are set to their off state prior to the pattern sequence running. Selecting a reduced number of active DMD blocks allows for an increase in pattern speeds. See Table 2-107.

Block Load is only applicable for 1-bit depth patterns. The entire 1-bit pattern data must be sent to the controller when using video pattern mode, pattern on the fly, or prestored pattern mode. The controller loads the selected block(s) based on the rows selected in Block Load.

Note:

The performance of mirrors in blocks that are not active are affected by prolonged use of being in the off state. To optimize the mirrors, enable DMD Idle Mode as often as possible. This mode provides a 50/50 duty cycle across the entire DMD mirror array, where the mirrors are continuously flipped between the on and off states. See command in Section 2.3.1.2.
