Abstract

The DLP5530Q1EVM Evaluation Module (EVM) is a complete electronic subsystem designed to control the DLP5530-Q1 chipset. The DLP5530-Q1 chipset consists of the DLP5530-Q1, the DLPC230-Q1, and the TPS99000-Q1. When combined with illumination and projection optics, RGB LEDs and a photodiode, this EVM can be used to develop an automotive grade projector for applications such as augmented reality head-up display (AR HUD) or interior projection systems.

Except for the DMD, there are no optical elements provided with this EVM. It is expected that this EVM is procured in order to mount to a custom designed picture generation unit (PGU) or projector.

The DLP5530Q1EVM is not a production design. It is intended for evaluation only.
