DLP® Display ≥0.47-in Array 4K UHD Evaluation Module

Description

The DLPC4420AEVM controller evaluation module

(EVM), when combined with the DLP660TEEVM,

DLP780TEEVM or DLP470TEEVM digital micromirror

device (DMD) EVMs, can accelerate the prototyping

time of DLP ultra high definition (UHD - 3840x2160)

system over 2000 lumens. The DLPC4420AEVM

provides a design for driving 4K UHD DMDs while

allowing for testing of custom front end systems.

The combination of the DLPC4420AEVM with any of

these 4K UHD DMD EVMs can display SPLASH, test

patterns or video from HDMI source on the DMD.

Getting Started

1. Order DLPC4420 chipset EVMs (controller and

DMD) and an applicable power supply.

2. Read this User's Guide completely and the

DLPC4420 Software Programmer's Guide.

3. Download the DLPC44xx-GUI and the

DLPC4420EVM-SW.

4. Download the DMD EVM and the controller EVM

design files.

Features

• Designed to be used with a 4K UHD DMD EVM

• Supports up to 4K UHD at 60 Hz or 1080p at 240

• Includes two DLPC4420 controllers, two DLPA100

controller PMIC and motor drivers, and an FPGA

• Power supply, optics, illumination source, and

extension cables are not included

• Offers several interface options for USB, I2C and

trigger inputs and outputs

1 Evaluation Module Overview

This user's guide explains the hardware and software features of the DLP Products DLP660TEEVM,

DLP470TEEVM, DLP780TEEVM and DLPC4420AEVM systems. The EVM architecture and connectors

are described along with a quick start guide on how to operate the DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM,

DLP780TEEVM and DLPC4420AEVM using the DLPC44xx-GUI. Specific DLP® chip details and operation can

be found in related component documentation.

Note

Power supply, optics, illumination source, and extension cables are sold separately. See Other Items

Needed for Operation.

1.1 Introduction

The DLP Products DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM, DLP780TEEVM and DLPC4420AEVM offer a reference

design to enable faster development cycles for users of the DLPC4420 chips and allow evaluation of TI’s

DLP660TE, DLP470TE and DLP780TE UHD digital micromirror displays (DMDs). The three DMD EVMs

(DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM and DLP780TEEVM) and one controller EVM (DLPC4420AEVM) are referred

to as a chipset.

These evaluation kits bring together a set of components providing a great starting point to evaluate a UHD DLP

system for:

• Laser TV

• Enterprise Projectors

• Digital Signage

• Gaming Systems

• Smart Projectors

• Stage Lighting Systems

1.2 Kit Contents

The DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM, DLP780TEEVM and DLPC4420AEVM are designed to be used in pairs.

The DMD EVMs cannot operate without the Controller EVM, DLPC4420AEVM.

The three DMD EVMs have a board-mounted connector that mates with the DLPC4420AEVM controller board.

DLPC4420AEVM includes all circuitry required to drive the DLP660TE, DLP470TE and DLP780TE display chip.

The DLPC4420AEVM includes two DLPC4420 controllers in primary-secondary mode, two DLPA100s which

serve as the power management and motor drivers, and other system circuitry such as the Vx1 receiver and

system fan control.

The DLPC4420AEVM can be programmed with one of the three DMD's firmware which is available on the

DLPC4420 product page. This firmware allows the DLPC4420AEVM to drive the display chip. Figure 1-1, Figure

1-2 , Figure 1-3, and Figure 1-4 show the top side of each EVM.
