1.4 Other Items Needed for Operation
The DLP471TEEVM, DLP650TEEVM, and the DLPC7540EVM are evaluation modules (EVM) that are capable
of displaying images on to the DMD. However, these EVMs do not ship with optics, illumination source, cables,
power supplies, or additional hardware components. These are system parameters that are left for the user to
design, the EVMs are meant to accelerate initial system design.
• Power supply - Required for EVM operation (See
• Micro-USB cable: A to Micro B USB cable - Required for GUI interface
• Optics
• Illumination module and source
• XPR actuator
The firmware provided on ti.com is for the sole purpose of operating the electronic components that make up the
DLP471TEEVM, DLP650TEEVM, and the DLPC7540EVM evaluation modules. Any additions made to the EVMs
such as illumination, optics, actuator, and so on will require contacting Texas Instruments for additional support
in including these elements specific to customer application.
1.5 DLPC7540EVM, DLP471TEEVM, and DLP650TEEVM EVM Flex Cable
Electrical malfunctions can occur by stressing the flex cable(s) connecting the DMD circuit board to the
DLPC7540EVM formatter board. Stressing the flex cable can be caused by:
• Bending sharply the flex cable(s).
• Repeatedly bending the flex cable(s).
• Excessive insertion and extraction of flex cables to/from board connectors.
Note
Minimize any handling/movement on the flex cables during operation
