2.3.1 DLPLCRC964EVM and DMD EVM Assembly

This section explains how to assemble the standalone DLPLCRC964EVM and DLPLCR99EVM / DLPLCR99UVEVM.

The DLPLCRC964EVM requires a DLPLCR99EVM or DLPLCR99UVEVM and four Flex Cables for assembling standalone system.

  • The flex cable connectors are labeled J13, J14, J15, and J16, which can be seen in Figure 1-3.
  • The Flex Cable connectors are going to be connected between the EVM boards.
  • The ends of each Flex Cable are identical.
  • Either end can be connected to the connector ports J13, J14, J15, and J16 of the DLPLCRC964EVM. The other end of the flex cable is going to be connected to the DLPLCR99EVM or DLPLCR99UVEVM.

The flex cables that come with the DLPLCR99EVM and DLPLCR99UVEVM kit have a length of 16". If desired, then there are shorter flex cables offered by JAE Electronics. Please see the other two Flex Cable connector options below:

Figure 2-1 depicts how to successfully connect the flex cables between the DLPLCRC964EVM and DLPLCR99EVM / DLPLCR99UVEVM.
