Description

The DLPC23xS-Q1 digital micromirror device (DMD) Controller for automotive applications is used in chipsets for interior and exterior display applications with a functional safety requirement (such as augmented reality HUDs and windshield clusters). The DLP5530S-Q1 chipset includes a 0.55” DMD and the DLP4620S-Q1 chipset includes a 0.46" DMD. Both chipsets also include the TPS99000S-Q1 System Management and Illumination controller. The DLPC23xS-Q1 integrates an embedded processor with error code correction (SECDED ECC), enabling host control and real-time feedback, on-chip diagnostics, and system monitoring functions. On-chip SRAM is included to remove the need for external DRAM. Combined with the TPS99000S-Q1, the DLPC23xS-Q1 supports high dynamic range dimming of over 5000:1 for HUD applications. SubLVDS 600MHz DMD interface allows high DMD refresh rates to generate seamless and brilliant digital images, while simultaneously reducing radiated emissions.

To aid in the design and manufacture of automotive qualified projectors based on DLP technology, there are a number of established optical module manufacturers and design houses that can be leveraged to support your design.
