User Guide Overview
This user's guide presents an overview and general description of the DLP5530Q1EVM and provides first
steps for getting started using the EVM.
1.1
What is in the DLP5530Q1EVM EVM
The DLP5530Q1EVM consists of a controller PCB, an illumination driver PCB, cables, and a USB to SPI
adapter.
1.1.1
Controller PCB
The controller PCB shown in
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 I
2
C interface. The SPI or I
2
C 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.
