TI evaluation module enables HD projection in compact electronics

BANGALORE, INDIA: Texas Instruments (TI) today announced the availability of the DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 evaluation module, a new developer tool that allows quick assessment of the DLP 0.3" (7.62 mm) TRP HD 720p video and data display chipset. The chipset is now available and consists of a DLP3010 digital micromirror device (DMD), a DLPC3433/DLPC3438 display controller and a DLPA2005 LED driver for power management.

Key features and benefits of the DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 evaluation module:

• Quick assessment of the 0.3" TRP HD 720p display chipset which can speed the product development cycle.
• Standard HDMI-input interface offers plug-and-play functionality with various devices.
• Simple-to-use, USB-based GUI allows for efficient, real-time chipset configuration.
• 50-pin board-to-board connector which enables direct interface with a broad range of optical engines.
• Equipped with a production-quality optical engine and RGB LEDs.
  

Key features and benefits of the ultra-low power DLP 0.3" TRP HD 720p display chipset:

• Contains TI's smallest, most power-efficient, high-definition micromirror array.
• Generate HD displays from compact electronics, including: standalone battery-powered projectors; near-eye displays; after-market head up displays; low latency gaming displays; and interactive free-form displays.
• Fast switching speeds of up to 5400 times per second enable the world's smallest, true-color RGB engines capable of up to 120-Hz video performance.
• Features TI's proprietary DLP TRP architecture and adaptive DLP IntelliBright suite of algorithms that can deliver up to 100 percent higher brightness or up to 50 percent lower power consumption than previous DLP Pico chipset architectures.
• DLP TRP architecture delivers twice the resolution of its same-size predecessor¹.

To accelerate developers' ability to bring their innovative products to market, TI maintains the most extensive ecosystem of pico optical engine manufacturers in the industry, eliminating the need for developers to have their own optics expertise. 

The DLP LightCrafter Display 3010 evaluation module is available in the TI eStore. Available now from TI authorized distributors, the DLP3010 DMD is available in a 57-pin FQK package. The DLPC3433 is available in a 176-pin VFBGA package, and the DLPC3438 is available in a 201-pin VFBGA package. The DLPA2005 is available in a 48-pin QFN package.
