1.2 What is in the DLP2021-Q1 Light Engine EVM

The DLP2021-Q1 Light Engine EVM consists of three subsystems and two boards:

  • DLP2021LEQ1EVM unit:
    • Formatter — Includes the DLP2021-Q1 DMD, FPGA based DMD controller, the MSP430G2553-Q1 MCU, external NOR flash memory, and the TPS65100-Q1 PMIC.
    • Illumination Driver — Includes illumination drivers and FETs.
    • Light Engine — Compact light engine designed to display images from the formatter. Two light engine variants are available:
      • DLP2021LEQ1EVM:
        • "EVM-T02DGPC" = Color/RGB LEDs
          • Green LED: Luminus SFT-03X-CG
          • Red/Blue LED: Luminus SFM-03X-RB
      • DLP2021LEWQ1EVM:
        • "EVM-T02DGPW" = White LED: Luminus SFT-03X-W
  • FTDI C232HM-DDHSL-0 USB to MPSSE serial cable for 3.3V logical level SPI communication with the FPGA based DMD controller and external flash memory. The Cheetah™ USB-to-SPI interface can be used as a faster alternative for USB-to-SPI communication, but must be purchased separately.
  • SPI Adapter board — intermediate board between the FTDI USB-to-SPI cable and DLP2021LEQ1EVM electronics board required for Host Mute and Flash Programming operating modes. Includes toggle switches to change the operating mode of the EVM.

Figure 1-1 shows the block diagram of the DLP2021LEQ1EVM.
