The DLPC4420 is a digital display controller for the DLP display chipset. The chipset comprises the DLPC4420 display controller, the DLP digital micromirror device (DMD), the DLPA100controller power management device, and the DLPA300DMD micromirror driver (refer to the DMD data sheet). This solution is a great fit for display systems that require high resolution, high brightness, and system simplicity. To ensure reliable operation, the DLPC4420 display controller must always be used with a DLP DMD and respective DLP power management devices.
