1.3 Specification

The DLPLCRC964EVM contains the electronics capable of controlling the supported DLP991U DMD. This EVM offers several interface options including USB, I2C, HPC FMC connectors, and Flex Cables connectors. Figure 1-1 shows the EVM Hardware Block diagram of the DLPLCRC964EVM.

The major components of DLPLCRC964EVM are:

  • DLPC964 Digital DMD Controller
  • Power Management Unit to support the DLPC964 subsystem
  • DLPC964 configuration Flash memory
  • USB 2.0 interface
  • Flex Cables—Four are needed to support the DLP991U DMD EVM board
  • HPC FMC Connectors —Two for an attached Apps FPGA or other front-end board
