In addition to the DLP9500 DMD, the 0.95 1080p
chipset includes a dedicated DLPC410 controller
required for high speed pattern rates of 23,148 Hz (1bit binary) and 2,893 Hz (8-bit gray), one unit
DLPR410 (DLP Discovery 4100 Configuration
PROM), and two units DLPA200 (DMD micromirror
drivers).
Reliable function and operation of the DLP9500
requires that it be used in conjunction with the other
components of the chipset. A dedicated chipset
provides developers easier access to the DMD as
well as high speed, independent micromirror control.
DLP9500
is
a
digitally
controlled
microelectromechanical system (MEMS) spatial light
modulator (SLM). When coupled to an appropriate
optical system, the DLP9500 can be used to
modulate the amplitude, direction, and/or phase of
incoming light.

Stresses beyond those listed under may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under . Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltages referenced to VSS (ground).
Voltages VCC, VCCI, and VCC2 are required for proper DMD operation.
Exceeding the recommended allowable absolute voltage difference between VCC and VCCI may result in excess current draw. The
difference between VCC and VCCI, |VCC – VCCI|, should be less than the specified limit.
The worst-case temperature of any test point shown in Figure 17, or the active array as calculated by the Micromirror Array Temperature
Calculation - Lumens Based.
As either measured, predicted, or both between any two points - measured on the exterior of the package, or as predicted at any point
inside the micromirror array cavity. Refer to Micromirror Array Temperature Calculation - Lumens Based.

The functional performance of the device specified in this data sheet is achieved when operating the device within the limits defined by
the Recommended Operating Conditions. No level of performance is implied when operating the device above or below the
Recommended Operating Conditions limits.
Voltages VCC, VCC1, and VCC2 are required for proper DMD operation. VSS must also be connected.
All voltages are referenced to common ground VSS.
Exceeding the recommended allowable absolute voltage difference between VCC and VCC1 may result in excess current draw. The
difference between VCC and VCC1, |VCC – VCC1|, should be less than the specified limit.
Optimal, long-term performance and optical efficiency of the Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) can be affected by various application
parameters, including illumination spectrum, illumination power density, micromirror landed duty-cycle, ambient temperature (storage
and operating), DMD temperature, ambient humidity (storage and operating), and power on or off duty cycle. TI recommends that
application-specific effects be considered as early as possible in the design cycle.
In some applications, the total DMD heat load can be dominated by the amount of incident light energy absorbed. See Micromirror Array
Temperature Calculation for further details.
The array temperature cannot be measured directly and must be computed analytically from the temperature measured at test point 1
(TP1) shown in Figure 17 and the package thermal resistance in Thermal Information using Micromirror Array Temperature Calculation.
Simultaneous exposure of the DMD to the maximum Recommended Operating Conditions for temperature and UV illumination will
reduce device lifetime.
Long-term is defined as the usable life of the device.
Per Figure 1, the maximum operational array temperature should be derated based on the micromirror landed duty cycle that the DMD
experiences in the end application. Refer to Micromirror Landed-On and Landed-Off Duty Cycle for a definition of micromirror landed
duty cycle.
Array temperatures beyond those specified as long-term are recommended for short-term conditions only (power-up). Short-term is
defined as cumulative time over the usable life of the device and is less than 500 hours.
The temperature delta is the highest difference between the ceramic test point (TP1) and window test points (TP2) and (TP3) in
Figure 17.

The DMD is designed to conduct absorbed and dissipated heat to the back of the package where it can be removed by an appropriate
heat sink. The heat sink and cooling system must be capable of maintaining the package within the Recommended Operating
Conditions. The total heat load on the DMD is largely driven by the incident light absorbed by the active area, although other
contributions include light energy absorbed by the window aperture and electrical power dissipation of the array. Optical systems should
be designed to minimize the light energy falling outside the window clear aperture since any additional thermal load in this area can
significantly degrade the reliability of the device.

Measured relative to the plane formed by the overall micromirror array.
Parking the micromirror array returns all of the micromirrors to an essentially flat (0˚) state (as measured relative to the plane formed by
the overall micromirror array).
When the micromirror array is parked, the tilt angle of each individual micromirror is uncontrolled.
Additional variation exists between the micromirror array and the package datums, as shown in Mechanical, Packaging, and Orderable
Information.
When the micromirror array is landed, the tilt angle of each individual micromirror is dictated by the binary contents of the CMOS
memory cell associated with each individual micromirror. A binary value of 1 results in a micromirror landing in an nominal angular
position of +12°. A binary value of 0 results in a micromirror landing in an nominal angular position of –12°.
Represents the landed tilt angle variation relative to the nominal landed tilt angle.
Represents the variation that can occur between any two individual micromirrors, located on the same device or located on different
devices.
For some applications, it is critical to account for the micromirror tilt angle variation in the overall system optical design. With some
system optical designs, the micromirror tilt angle variation within a device may result in perceivable non-uniformities in the light field
reflected from the micromirror array. With some system optical designs, the micromirror tilt angle variation between devices may result in
colorimetry variations and/or system contrast variation.
Micromirror crossover time is the transition time from landed to landed during a crossover transition and primarily a function of the
natural response time of the micromirrors.
Micromirror switching time is the time after a micromirror clocking pulse until the micromirrors can be addressed again. It included the
micromirror settling time.
Array switching is controlled and coordinated by the DLPC410 (DLPS024) and DLPA200 (DLPS015). Nominal switching time depends
on the system implementation and represents the time for the entire micromirror array to be refreshed (array loaded plus reset and
mirror settling time).
Non-operating micromirror is defined as a micromirror that is unable to transition nominally from the –12° position to +12° or vice versa.
Measured relative to the package datums 'B' and 'C', shown in the Mechanical, Packaging, and Orderable Information.

(14) The minimum or maximum DMD optical efficiency observed in a specific application depends on numerous application-specific design
variables, such as:
(a) Illumination wavelength, bandwidth/line-width, degree of coherence
(b) Illumination angle, plus angle tolerance
(c) Illumination and projection aperture size, and location in the system optical path
(d) Illumination overfill of the DMD micromirror array
(e) Aberrations present in the illumination source and/or path
(f) Aberrations present in the projection path
The specified nominal DMD optical efficiency is based on the following use conditions:
(a) Visible illumination (400 to 700 nm)
(b) Input illumination optical axis oriented at 24° relative to the window normal
(c) Projection optical axis oriented at 0° relative to the window normal
(d) ƒ / 3 illumination aperture
(e) ƒ / 2.4 projection aperture
Based on these use conditions, the nominal DMD optical efficiency results from the following four components:
(a) Micromirror array fill factor: nominally 94%
(b) Micromirror array diffraction efficiency: nominally 87%
(c) Micromirror surface reflectivity: nominally 89%
(d) Window transmission: nominally 96% (single pass, through two surface transitions)
(15) Does not account for the effect of micromirror switching duty cycle, which is application dependent. Micromirror switching duty cycle
represents the percentage of time that the micromirror is actually reflecting light from the optical illumination path to the optical projection
path. This duty cycle depends on the illumination aperture size, the projection aperture size, and the micromirror array update rate.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
Optically, the DLP9500 consists of 2,073,600 highly reflective, digitally switchable, micrometer-sized mirrors
(micromirrors), organized in a two-dimensional array of 1920 micromirror columns by 1080 micromirror rows ().
Each aluminum micromirror is approximately 10.8 microns in size (see the Micromirror Pitch in ) and is
switchable between two discrete angular positions: –12° and 12°. The angular positions are measured relative to
a 0° flat state, which is parallel to the array plane (see Figure 12). The tilt direction is perpendicular to the hingeaxis, which is positioned diagonally relative to the overall array. The On State landed position is directed toward
row 0, column 0 (upper left) corner of the device package (see the Micromirror Hinge-Axis Orientation in ). In the
field of visual displays, the 1920 × 1080 pixel resolution is referred to as 1080p.
Each individual micromirror is positioned over a corresponding CMOS memory cell. The angular position of a
specific micromirror is determined by the binary state (logic 0 or 1) of the corresponding CMOS memory cell
contents, after the mirror clocking pulse is applied. The angular position (–12° or +12°) of the individual
micromirrors changes synchronously with a micromirror clocking pulse, rather than being synchronous with the
CMOS memory cell data update. Therefore, writing a logic 1 into a memory cell followed by a mirror clocking
pulse will result in the corresponding micromirror switching to a 12° position. Writing a logic 0 into a memory cell
followed by a mirror clocking pulse will result in the corresponding micromirror switching to a –12° position.
Updating the angular position of the micromirror array consists of two steps. First, updating the contents of the
CMOS memory. Second, application of a micromirror clocking pulse to all or a portion of the micromirror array
(depending upon the configuration of the system). Micromirror clocking pulses are generated externally by two
DLPA200s, with application of the pulses being coordinated by the DLPC410 controller.
Around the perimeter of the 1920 by 1080 array of micromirrors is a uniform band of border micromirrors. The
border micromirrors are not user-addressable. The border micromirrors land in the –12° position once power has
been applied to the device. There are 10 border micromirrors on each side of the 1920 by 1080 active array.
Figure 8 shows a DLPC410 and DLP9500 chipset block diagram. The DLPC410 and DLPA200s control and
coordinate the data loading and micromirror switching for reliable DLP9500 operation. The DLPR410 is the
programmed PROM required to properly configure the DLPC410 controller. For more information on the chipset
components, see Application and Implementation. For a typical system application using the DLP Discovery 4100
chipset including a DLP9500, see Figure 18.

8.3.1 DLPC410 - Digital Controller for DLP Discovery 4100 Chipset
The DLPC410 chipset includes the DLPC410 controller which provides a high-speed LVDS data and control
interface for DMD control. This interface is also connected to a second FPGA used to drive applications (not
included in the chipset). The DLPC410 generates DMD and DLPA200 initialization and control signals in
response to the inputs on the control interface.
For more information, see the DLPC410 data sheet (DLPS024).
8.3.2 DLPA200 - DMD Micromirror Drivers
DLPA200 micromirror drivers provide the micromirror clocking pulse driver functions for the DMD. Two drivers
are required for DLP9500.
The DLPA200 is designed to work with multiple DLP chipsets. Although the DLPA200 contains 16 MBSRT output
pins, only 15 lines are used with the DLP9500 chipset. For more information see and the DLPA200 data sheet
(DLPS015).
8.3.3 DLPR410 - PROM for DLP Discovery 4100 Chipset
The DLPC410 controller is configured at startup from the DLPR410 PROM. The contents of this PROM can not
be altered. For more information, see the DLPR410 data sheet (DLPS027) the DLPC410 data sheet (DLPS024).

8.3.4.1.1.2 Initialization
The INIT_ACTIVE (Table 2) signal indicates that the DLP9500, DLPA200s, and DLPC410 are in an initialization
state after power is applied. During this initialization period, the DLPC410 is initializing the DLP9500 and
DLPA200s by setting all internal registers to their correct states. When this signal goes low, the system has
completed initialization. System initialization takes approximately 220 ms to complete. Data and command write
cycles should not be asserted during the initialization.
During initialization the user must send a training pattern to the DLPC410 on all data and DVALID lines to
correctly align the data inputs to the data clock. For more information, see the interface training pattern
information in the DLPC410 data sheet.
8.3.4.1.1.3 DMD Device Detection
The DLPC410 automatically detects the DMD type and device ID. DMD_TYPE (Table 2) is an output from the
DLPC410 that contains the DMD information.
8.3.4.1.1.4 Power Down
To ensure long term reliability of the DLP9500, a shutdown procedure must be executed. Prior to power removal,
assert the PWR_FLOAT (Table 2) signal and allow approximately 300 µs for the procedure to complete. This
procedure assures the mirrors are in a flat state.

The DLPA200 provides a variety of output options to the DMD by selecting logic control inputs: MODE[1:0],
SEL[1:0] and reset group address A[3:0] (Table 4). The MODE[1:0] input determines whether a single output, two
outputs, four outputs, or all outputs, will be selected. Output levels (VBIAS, VOFFSET, or VRESET) are selected
by SEL[1:0] pins. Selected outputs are tri-stated on the rising edge of the STROBE signal and latched to the
selected voltage level after a break-before-make delay. Outputs will remain latched at the last micromirror
clocking pulse waveform level until the next micromirror clocking pulse waveform cycle.
8.3.4.1.4 DLPA200 to DLP9500 Interface
8.3.4.1.4.1 DLPA200 to DLP9500 Interface Overview
The DLPA200 generates three voltages: VBIAS, VRESET, and VOFFSET that are supplied to the DMD MBRST
lines in various sequences through the micromirror clocking pulse driver function. VOFFSET is also supplied
directly to the DMD as DMDVCC2. A fourth DMD power supply, DMDVCC, is supplied directly to the DMD by
regulators.
The function of the micromirror clocking pulse driver is to switch selected outputs in patterns between the three
voltage levels (VBIAS, VRESET and VOFFSET) to generate one of several micromirror clocking pulse
waveforms. The order of these micromirror clocking pulse waveform events is controlled externally by the logic
control inputs and timed by the STROBE signal. DLPC410 automatically detects the DMD type and then uses the
DMD type to determine the appropriate micromirror clocking pulse waveform.

A direct micromirror clocking pulse operation causes a mirror to transition directly from one latched state to the
next. The address must already be set up on the mirror electrodes when the micromirror clocking pulse is
initiated. Where the desired mirror display period does not allow for time to set up the address, a micromirror
clocking pulse with release can be performed. This operation allows the mirror to go to a relaxed state regardless
of the address while a new address is set up, after which the mirror can be driven to a new latched state.
A mirror in the relaxed state typically reflects light into a system collection aperture and can be thought of as off
although the light is likely to be more than a mirror latched in the off state. System designers should carefully
evaluate the impact of relaxed mirror conditions on optical performance.
8.3.5 Measurement Conditions
The data sheet provides timing at the device pin. For output timing analysis, the tester pin electronics and its
transmission line effects must be taken into account. Figure 11 shows an equivalent test load circuit for the
output under test. The load capacitance value stated is only for characterization and measurement of AC timing
signals. This load capacitance value does not indicate the maximum load the device is capable of driving. All rise
and fall transition timing parameters are referenced to VIL MAX and VIH MIN for input clocks, VOL MAX and VOH
MIN for output clocks.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
The DLP9500 has only one functional mode; it is set to be highly optimized for low latency and high speed in
generating mirror clocking pulses and timings.
When operated with the DLPC410 controller in conjunction with the DLPA200 drivers, the DLP9500 can be
operated in several display modes. The DLP9500 is loaded as 15 blocks of 72 rows each. The first 64 bits of
pixel data and last 64 bits of pixel data for all rows are not visible. Below is a representation of how the image is
loaded by the different micromirror clocking pulse modes. Figure 13, Figure 14, Figure 15, and Figure 16 show
how the image is loaded by the different micromirror clocking pulse modes.
There are four micromirror clocking pulse modes that determine which blocks are reset when a micromirror
clocking pulse command is issued:
• Single block mode
• Dual block mode
• Quad block mode
• Global mode
8.4.1 Single Block Mode
In single block mode, a single block can be loaded and reset in any order. After a block is loaded, it can be reset
to transfer the information to the mechanical state of the mirrors.
Figure 13. Single Block Mode
8.4.2 Dual Block Mode
In dual block mode, reset blocks are paired together as follows (0-1), (2-3), (4-5), (6-7), (8-9), (10-11), (12-13),
and (14). These pairs can be reset in any order. After data is loaded a pair can be reset to transfer the
information to the mechanical state of the mirrors.

quad group can be randomly addressed and reset. After a quad group is loaded, it can be reset to transfer the
information to the mechanical state of the mirrors.
Figure 15. Quad Block Mode
8.4.4 Global Block Mode
In global mode, all reset blocks are grouped into a single group and reset together. The entire DMD must be
loaded with the desired data before issuing a Global Reset to transfer the information to the mechanical state of
the mirrors.

8.5 Window Characteristics and Optics
NOTE
TI assumes no responsibility for image quality artifacts or DMD failures caused by optical
system operating conditions exceeding limits described previously.
8.5.1 Optical Interface and System Image Quality
TI assumes no responsibility for end-equipment optical performance. Achieving the desired end-equipment
optical performance involves making trade-offs between numerous component and system design parameters.
Optimizing system optical performance and image quality strongly relate to optical system design parameter
trades. Although it is not possible to anticipate every conceivable application, projector image quality and optical
performance is contingent on compliance to the optical system operating conditions described in the following
sections.
8.5.2 Numerical Aperture and Stray Light Control
The angle defined by the numerical aperture of the illumination and projection optics at the DMD optical area
should be the same. This angle should not exceed the nominal device mirror tilt angle unless appropriate
apertures are added in the illumination, projection pupils, or both to block out flat-state and stray light from the
projection lens. The mirror tilt angle defines DMD capability to separate the ON optical path from any other light
path, including undesirable flat-state specular reflections from the DMD window, DMD border structures, or other
system surfaces near the DMD such as prism or lens surfaces. If the numerical aperture exceeds the mirror tilt
angle, or if the projection numerical aperture angle is more than two degrees larger than the illumination
numerical aperture angle, objectionable artifacts in the display’s border and/or active area could occur.
8.5.3 Pupil Match
TI recommends the exit pupil of the illumination is nominally centered within 2° (two degrees) of the entrance
pupil of the projection optics. Misalignment of pupils can create objectionable artifacts in the display’s border
and/or active area, which may require additional system apertures to control, especially if the numerical aperture
of the system exceeds the pixel tilt angle.
8.5.4 Illumination Overfill
The active area of the device is surrounded by an aperture on the inside DMD window surface that masks
structures of the DMD device assembly from normal view. The aperture is sized to anticipate several optical
operating conditions. Overfill light illuminating the window aperture can create artifacts from the edge of the
window aperture opening and other surface anomalies that may be visible on the screen. The illumination optical
system should be designed to limit light flux incident anywhere on the window aperture from exceeding
approximately 10% of the average flux level in the active area. Depending on the optical architecture of a
particular system, overfill light may have to be further reduced below the suggested 10% level to be acceptable.

Micromirror Array Temperature Calculation (continued)
8.6.2 Micromirror Array Temperature Calculation - Lumens Based
Micromirror array temperature cannot be measured directly; therefore, it must be computed analytically from:
• the measurement points (Figure 17)
• the package thermal resistance
• the electrical power
• the illumination heat load
The relationship between micromirror array temperature and the reference ceramic temperature (thermal test
point TP1 in Figure 17) is provided by the following equations:
TARRAY = T CERAMIC + (QARRAY × RARRAY-TO-CERAMIC)
QARRAY = QELECTRICAL + QILLUMINATION
where
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
TARRAY = computed array temperature (°C)
TCERAMIC = measured ceramic temperature (°C) (TP1 location)
RARRAY-TO-CERAMIC = thermal resistance of DMD package (specified in Thermal Information) from array to
ceramic TP1 (°C/W)
QARRAY = total power (electrical + absorbed) on the array (Watts)
QELECTRICAL = nominal electrical power (Watts)
QILLUMINATION = (CL2W × SL) (Watts)
CL2W = conversion constant for screen lumens to power on DMD (Watts/lumen)
SL = measured screen lumens
The electrical power dissipation of the DMD is variable and depends on the voltages, data rates, and operating
frequencies. A nominal electrical power dissipation to use when calculating array temperature is 4.4 Watts. The
absorbed power from the illumination source is variable and depends on the operating state of the micromirrors
and the intensity of the light source. The conversion constant CL2W is based on the DMD input illumination
characteristics. It assumes a spectral efficiency of 300 lumens/Watt for the projected light and an illumination
distribution of 83.7% on the active array and 16.3% on the array border. The equations shown above are valid for
a system with a total projection efficiency through the projection lens from the DMD to the screen of 87%.

The relationship between array temperature and the reference ceramic temperature (thermal test point TP1 in

QARRAY = total power (electrical + absorbed) on the array (Watts)
QELECTRICAL = nominal electrical power (Watts)
QINCIDENT = total incident optical power on DMD (Watts)
The electrical power dissipation of the DMD is variable and depends on the voltages, data rates, and operating

8.7 Micromirror Landed-On and Landed-Off Duty Cycle
8.7.1 Definition of Micromirror Landed-On/Landed-Off Duty Cycle
The micromirror landed-on/landed-off duty cycle (landed duty cycle) denotes the amount of time (as a
percentage) that an individual micromirror is landed in the On–state versus the amount of time the same
micromirror is landed in the Off–state.
As an example, a landed duty cycle of 100/0 indicates that the referenced pixel is in the On-state 100% of the
time (and in the Off-state 0% of the time); whereas 0/100 would indicate that the pixel is in the Off-state 100% of
the time. Likewise, 50/50 indicates that the pixel is On 50% of the time and Off 50% of the time.
Note that when assessing landed duty cycle, the time spent switching from one state (ON or OFF) to the other
state (OFF or ON) is considered negligible and is thus ignored.
Because a micromirror can only be landed in one state or the other (on or off), the two numbers (percentages)
always add to 100.
8.7.2 Landed Duty Cycle and Useful Life of the DMD
Knowing the long-term average landed duty cycle (of the end product or application) is important because
subjecting all (or a portion) of the DMD’s micromirror array (also called the active array) to an asymmetric landed
duty cycle for a prolonged period of time can reduce the usable life of the DMD.
Note that it is the symmetry/asymmetry of the landed duty cycle that is of relevance. The symmetry of the landed
duty cycle is determined by how close the two numbers (percentages) are to being equal. For example, a landed
duty cycle of 50/50 is perfectly symmetrical whereas a landed duty cycle of 100/0 or 0/100 is perfectly
asymmetrical.
8.7.3 Landed Duty Cycle and Operational DMD Temperature
Operational DMD temperature and landed duty cycle interact to affect the usable life of the DMD, and this
interaction can be exploited to reduce the impact that an asymmetrical landed duty cycle has on the DMD’s
usable life. This is quantified in the derating curve shown in Figure 1. The importance of this curve is that:
• All points along this curve represent the same usable life.
• All points above this curve represent lower usable life (and the further away from the curve, the lower the
usable life).
• All points below this curve represent higher usable life (and the further away from the curve, the higher the
usable life).
In practice, this curve specifies the maximum operating DMD temperature that the DMD should be operated at
for a give long-term average landed duty.
8.7.4 Estimating the Long-Term Average Landed Duty Cycle of a Product or Application
During a given period of time, the landed duty cycle of a given pixel follows from the image content being
displayed by that pixel.
For example, in the simplest case, when displaying pure-white on a given pixel for a given time period, that pixel
will experience a 100/0 landed duty cycle during that time period. Likewise, when displaying pure-black, the pixel
will experience a 0/100 landed duty cycle.
Between the two extremes (ignoring for the moment color and any image processing that may be applied to an
incoming image), the landed duty cycle tracks one-to-one with the gray scale value, as shown in Table 5.

Accounting for color rendition (but still ignoring image processing) requires knowing both the color intensity (from
0% to 100%) for each constituent primary color (red, green, and/or blue) for the given pixel as well as the color
cycle time for each primary color, where “color cycle time” is the total percentage of the frame time that a given
primary must be displayed to achieve the desired white point.
During a given period of time, the landed duty cycle of a given pixel can be calculated as follows:
Landed Duty Cycle = (Red_Cycle_% × Red_Scale_Value) + (Green_Cycle_% × Green_Scale_Value) +
(Blue_Cycle_% × Blue_Scale_Value)
where:
Red_Cycle_%, Green_Cycle_%, and Blue_Cycle_%, represent the percentage of the frame time that Red,
Green, and Blue are displayed (respectively) to achieve the desired white point.
For example, assume that the red, green and blue color cycle times are 50%, 20%, and 30% respectively (to
achieve the desired white point), then the landed duty for various combinations of red, green, blue color
intensities would be as shown in Table 6.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The DLP9500 devices must be coupled with the DLPC410 controller to provide a reliable solution for many
different applications. The DMDs are spatial light modulators which reflect incoming light from an illumination
source to one of two directions, with the primary direction being into a projection collection optic. Each application
is derived primarily from the optical architecture of the system and the format of the data coming into the
DLPC410. Applications of interest include 3D printing, lithography, medical systems, and compressive sensing.

DLPS025E – AUGUST 2012 – REVISED AUGUST 2018
Reliable function and operation of DLP9500 1080p chipsets require the components be used in conjunction with
each other. This document describes the proper integration and use of the DLP9500 1080p chipset components.
The DLP9500 1080p chipset can be combined with a user programmable application FPGA (not included) to
create high performance systems.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The DLP9500 DMD is well suited for visible light applications requiring fast, spatially programmable light patterns
using the micromirror array. See the block diagram in Figure 8 to see the connections between the DLP9500
DMD, the DLPC410 digital controller, the DLPR410 EEPROM, and the DLPA200 DMD micromirror drivers. An
example application block diagram can be found in Figure 18. Layout guidelines should be followed for reliability.
10 Power Supply Recommendations
10.1 Power-Up Sequence (Handled by the DLPC410)
The sequence of events for DMD system power-up is:
1. Apply logic supply voltages to the DLPA200 and to the DMD according to DMD specifications.
2. Place DLPA200 drivers into high impedance states.
3. Turn on DLPA200 bias, offset, or reset supplies according to driver specifications.
4. After all supply voltages are assured to be within the limits specified and with all micromirror clocking pulse
operations logically suspended, enable all drivers to either VOFFSET or VBIAS level.
5. Begin micromirror clocking pulse operations.
10.2 DMD Power-Up and Power-Down Procedures
Failure to adhere to the prescribed power-up and power-down procedures may affect device reliability. The
DLP9500 power-up and power-down procedures are defined by the DLPC410 data sheet (DLPS024). These
procedures must be followed to ensure reliable operation of the device.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The DLP9500 is part of a chipset that is controlled by the DLPC410 in conjunction with the DLPA200. These
guidelines are targeted at designing a PCB board with these components.
11.1.1 Impedance Requirements
Signals should be routed to have a matched impedance of 50 Ω ±10% except for LVDS differential pairs
(DMD_DAT_Xnn, DMD_DCKL_Xn, and DMD_SCTRL_Xn) which should be matched to 100 Ω ±10% across
each pair.
11.1.2 PCB Signal Routing
When designing a PCB board for the DLP9500 controlled by the DLPC410 in conjunction with the DLPA200s,
the following are recommended:
Signal trace corners should be no sharper than 45°. Adjacent signal layers should have the predominate traces
routed orthogonal to each other. TI recommends that critical signals be hand routed in the following order: DDR2
Memory, DMD (LVDS signals), then DLPA200 signals.
TI does not recommend signal routing on power or ground planes.
TI does not recommend ground plane slots.
High speed signal traces should not cross over slots in adjacent power and/or ground planes.
