6.3 Feature Description

The DLP3944-Q1 consists of a two-dimensional array of 1-bit CMOS memory cells driven by a SubLVDS bus from the DLPC431 and powered by the DLPA3085 / DLPA3082. The temperature sensing diode is used to continuously monitor the DMD array temperature.

To ensure reliable operation, the DLP3944-Q1 must be used with the DLPC431 DMD display controller and the DLPA3085 / DLPA3082 system management and illumination controller.
