3D DMD mechanical geometry
Data sheet
DLP5531A-Q1
- Qualified for automotive applications
- –40°C to 105°C operating DMD array temperature range
- The DLP5531A-Q1 automotive chipset includes:
- DLP5531A-Q1 DMD
- DLPC230-Q1 DMD controller
- TPS99001-Q1 system management and illumination controller
- 0.55-inch diagonal micromirror array
- 7.6-µm micromirror pitch
- ±12° micromirror tilt angle (relative to flat state)
- Bottom illumination for optimal efficiency and optical engine size
- 1.3-megapixel array configured in 2:1 aspect ratio enabling high resolution and wide aspect ratio automotive applications
- Compatible with LED or laser illumination
- 600-MHz sub-LVDS DMD interface for low power and emission
- 10-kHz DMD refresh rate over temperature extremes
- Built-in self test of DMD memory cells
The DLP5531A-Q1 automotive DMD, combined with the DLPC230-Q1 DMD controller and TPS99001-Q1 system management and illumination controller, provides the capability to achieve high performance high resolution headlight systems. The 2:1 aspect ratio supports very wide aspect ratio designs, and the 1.3-MP resolution enables high resolution symbol projection and adaptive driving beam applications. The DLP5531A-Q1 has more than 3 times the optical throughput of the preceding DLP3030-Q1 automotive DMD enabling an even larger field of view and higher lumens output. The DLP5531A-Q1 automotive DMD micromirror array is configured for bottom illumination which enables highly efficient and more compact optical engine designs. The S450 package has low thermal resistance to the DMD array to enable more efficient thermal solutions.
