1.2 Kit Contents

The DLPLCRC964EVM is a flexible, ready-to-use evaluation module. When the DLPLCRC964EVM is coupled with the DLPLCR99EVM or DLPLCR99UVEVM with an Apps FPGA board, the DLPLCRC964EVM enables the capability of sending customer-created patterns to the DLPC964 Controller and then to the attached DLP991U or DLP991UUV DMD for display. The DLP LightCrafter DLPC964EVM and supported DLP991U or DLP991UUV DMD EVM are offered for purchase separately so that customers can determine which elements are needed for the application.

The following items are not included with the EVM and need to be purchased separately if needed for evaluation:

  • Supported DMD EVM board (DLPLCR99EVM or DLPLCR99UVEVM)
  • APPS FPGA board—example: AMD Evaluation Board (with separate power supply)
  • Power supply—see Section 2.1.1 for more details
  • USB cable: Type A to Micro-B USB cable
