DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM Evaluation Module User's Guide
The DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM Evaluation Module (EVM) is a complete electronic and optical subsystem
designed to control and interface with the DLP5530-Q1 chipset. The DLP5530-Q1 chipset consists of the
DLP5530-Q1, the DLPC230-Q1, and the TPS99000-Q1. This chipset is combined with illumination and
projection optics, RGB LEDs, and a photodiode and can be used to develop an automotive grade
projector for applications such as windshield cluster display and transparent window displays where a
holographic optical element (HOE) is used as the screen technology. This EVM uses narrow band LED
illumination designed to work more efficiently with HOE films. This projector offers high brightness and
high contrast of up to 2000:1 in a compact package of about 1 liter. It is made of robust metal housing and
uses all glass optical elements, but these could potentially be traded for more cost effective plastic options
in a production design.
The DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM is not a production design. It is intended for evaluation only.
Figure 1. The DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM
The DLP5530Q1EVM electronics EVM pairs with 3 different optical module configurations, all available as
standalone EVMs. The different options are listed below in Table 1.

User Guide Overview
This user's guide presents an overview and general description of the DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM and
provides first steps for getting started using the EVM.
1.1
What is in the DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM EVM
The DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM consists of a controller PCB, an illumination driver PCB, cables, and a
USB to SPI adapter. It also includes an optical module designed to combine with the electronic subsystem
for evaluation of a fully functioning projector in an automotive setting.
1.1.1
Controller PCB
The controller PCB shown in Figure 2 includes the DLP5530-Q1 DMD, the DLPC230-Q1 DMD Controller,
and the TPS99000-Q1. It supports video inputs from either a micro HDMI or OpenLDI interface and
provides the formatting and control to display the video on the DLP5530-Q1 DMD. The EVM can be
controlled with either a SPI or an I2C interface. The SPI or I2C interface can also be used to reprogram the
serial Flash that is used to store DLPC230-Q1 software and configuration. An optional second SPI port is
provided for monitoring the TPS99000-Q1. The EVM has an external photodiode input that is used to
control white point and brightness over a wide dimming range. An optional second photodiode input is also
provided. The EVM includes a flex interface to control and monitor the illumination driver PCB. It also
provides an optional interface for thermistors on the red, green and blue illuminator PCBs that can be
used to monitor the temperatures of the illuminators.
Figure 2. DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM Controller PCB
The controller PCB contains the ports listed in Table 2. Indicator LEDs are listed in Table 3.

Illumination Driver PCB
The illumination driver PCB shown in Figure 3 is controlled and monitored by the controller PCB over a
flex cable. Power can be input to the illumination driver from a bench top supply. The illumination driver
provides reverse bias protection and supplies power to the controller PCB over a separate cable. The
illumination driver PCB regulates the input power to 6.5 V or 8 V prior to the illumination driver circuitry.
The illumination driver has outputs for red, green and blue illuminators. These are typically LEDs, but it is
possible other illuminators could be used. See Section 1.2.1 for input and output specifications of the
EVM. Depending on operating conditions, some parts and surfaces of the PCB can be hot.
CAUTION
Hot surface. Contact may cause burns. Do not touch!

The illumination driver PCB contains the ports listed in Table 5.

Conditions for nominal power: white balanced LED current up to 6 A, LED forward voltage = 3.5 V, display duty cycle = 90/10.
Pre-regulator output voltage is set by the jumper position of header H2. See Table 6.
Care must be taken to ensure that individual components and PCB do not exceed their maximum temperature when driving
high-power load.
Some components are only rated to 85°C. Refer to Table 9 for a list of these components.
Component Temperature Ratings
The PCB materials and most of the PCB components are rated to operate between –40°C to 105°C,
including the DLP5530-Q1, the DLPC230-Q1, and the TPS99000-Q1.
Some components on board, such as switches, connectors, and indicator LEDs, do not meet this
temperature rating. The specifications for EVM components which are not rated between –40°C to 105°C
are listed in Table 9. Please refer to the EVM bill of materials to review the temperature specifications of
all components used in the EVM design.

The controller and illumination driver PCBs have a UL flame rating of 130°C maximum.
The DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM is not a production design. It is intended for evaluation only. The
DLP5530PROJTGQ1EVM is only designed to operate at a maximum of 40oC ambient temperature, but
with a custom thermal solution the DLP5530-Q1 chipset and accompanying optical engine can be
designed to operate at up to 105oC.
1.2.3
Input Video Specifications
The following input video resolutions are supported on the HDMI and OpenLDI interfaces. These input
video resolutions are programmed in the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) EEPROM for the
EVM's HDMI interface allowing a connected computer to read the supported resolutions and timing. Note
that some computers may not be able to output all of these resolutions, in particular 576 × 288.
• 1152 × 1152
• 1152 × 576
• 576 × 288
The input source timing specified in the EVM's HDMI interface EDID are specified in Table 10. These
timing parameters are also recommended for the OpenLDI interface.
