The XGA resolution has the direct benefit of scanning large objects for 3D machine vision applications. Reliable
function and operation of the DLP5500 requires that it be used in conjunction with the DLPC200 digital controller
and the DLPA200 analog driver. This dedicated chipset provides a robust, high resolution XGA, and high speed
system solution.
(1) The following power supplies are required to operate the DMD: VCC, VCCI, VCC2. VSS must also be connected.
(2) DDR = Double Data Rate. SDR = Single Data Rate. Refer to the Timing Requirements for specifications and relationships.

(9) Refer to Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7.
(10) 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.
(11) DMD Temperature is the worst-case of any thermal test point in Figure 16, or the active array as calculated by the Micromirror Array
Temperature Calculation for Uniform Illumination.
(12) Per Figure 1, the maximum operational case temperature should be derated based on the micromirror landed duty cycle that the DMD
experiences in the end application. Refer to Micromirror Landed-on/Landed-Off Duty Cycle for a definition of micromirror landed duty
cycle.

(1) Measured relative to the plane formed by the overall micromirror array
(2) 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).
(3) When the micromirror array is parked, the tilt angle of each individual micromirror is uncontrolled.
(4) Additional variation exists between the micromirror array and the package datums, as shown in the section at the end of the document.
(5) 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 will result in a micromirror landing in an nominal angular
position of +12 degrees. A binary value of 0 will result in a micromirror landing in an nominal angular position of -12 degrees.
(6) Represents the landed tilt angle variation relative to the Nominal landed tilt angle.
(7) Represents the variation that can occur between any two individual micromirrors, located on the same device or located on different
devices.
(8) 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 variations 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 variations.
(9) Micromirror Cross Over time is primarily a function of the natural response time of the micromirrors.
(10) Micromirror switching is controlled and coordinated by the DLPC200 (See DLPS014) and DLPA200 (See DLPS015). Nominal Switching
time depends on the system implementation and represents the time for the entire micromirror array to be refreshed.
(11) Non-operating micromirror is defined as a micromirror that is unable to transition nominally from the -12 degree position to +12 degree
or vice versa.
(12) Measured relative to the package datums B and C, shown in the Mechanical, Packaging, and Orderable Information section at the end
of this document.
(13) The minimum or maximum DMD optical efficiency observed in a specific application depends on numerous application-specific design
variables, such as but not limited to:
(a) Illumination wavelength, bandwidth or 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) IIlumination 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 (420 nm – 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) f/3.0 illumination aperture
(e) f/2.4 projection aperture
Based on these use conditions, the nominal DMD optical efficiency results from the following four components:
(d) Window transmission: nominally 97% (single pass, through two surface transitions)
(14) Does not account for the effect of micromirror switching duty cycle, which is application dependant. 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.

8.12 Chipset Component Usage Specification
The DLP5500 is a component of one or more DLP chipsets. Reliable function and operation of the DLP5500
requires that it be used in conjunction with the other components of the applicable DLP chipset, including those
components that contain or implement TI DMD control technology. TI DMD control technology is the TI
technology and devices for operating or controlling a DLP DMD.
DLP5500 is a 0.55 inch diagonal spatial light modulator which consists of an array of highly reflective aluminum
micromirrors. Pixel array size and square grid pixel arrangement are shown in Figure 11.
The DMD is an electrical input, optical output micro-electrical-mechanical system (MEMS). The electrical
interface is Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS), Double Data Rate (DDR).
DLP5500 DMD consists of a two-dimensional array of 1-bit CMOS memory cells. The array is organized in a grid
of M memory cell columns by N memory cell rows. Refer to the Functional Block Diagram.
The positive or negative deflection angle of the micromirrors can be individually controlled by changing the
address voltage of underlying CMOS addressing circuitry and micromirror reset signals (MBRST).
Each cell of the M × N memory array drives its true and complement (‘Q’ and ‘QB’) data to two electrodes
underlying one micromirror, one electrode on each side of the diagonal axis of rotation. Refer to Figure 15. The
micromirrors are electrically tied to the micromirror reset signals (MBRST) and the micromirror array is divided
into reset groups.
Electrostatic potentials between a micromirror and its memory data electrodes cause the micromirror to tilt
toward the illumination source in a DLP projection system or away from it, thus reflecting its incident light into or
out of an optical collection aperture. The positive (+) tilt angle state corresponds to an 'on' pixel, and the negative
(–) tilt angle state corresponds to an 'off' pixel.
Refer to Micromirror Array Optical Characteristics for the ± tilt angle specifications. Refer to the Pin Configuration
and Functions for more information on micromirror clocking pulse (reset) control.
The DLP5500 device consists of 786,432 highly reflective, digitally switchable, micrometer-sized mirrors
(micromirrors) organized in a two-dimensional orthogonal pixel array. Refer to Figure 11 and Figure 14.
Each aluminum micromirror is switchable between two discrete angular positions, –a and +a. The angular
positions are measured relative to the micromirror array plane, which is parallel to the silicon substrate. Refer to
Micromirror Array Optical Characteristics and Figure 15.
The parked position of the micromirror is not a latched position and is therefore not necessarily perfectly parallel
to the array plane. Individual micromirror flat state angular positions may vary. Tilt direction of the micromirror is
perpendicular to the hinge-axis. The on-state landed position is directed toward the left-top edge of the package,
as shown in Figure 14.
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 (–a and +a) of the individual
micromirrors changes synchronously with a micromirror clocking pulse, rather than being coincident with the
CMOS memory cell data update.
Writing logic 1 into a memory cell followed by a mirror clocking pulse results in the corresponding micromirror
switching to the +a position. Writing logic 0 into a memory cell followed by a mirror clocking pulse results in the
corresponding micromirror switching to the – a position.
Updating the angular position of the micromirror array consists of two steps. First, update the contents of the
CMOS memory. Second, apply a micromirror clocking pulse (reset) to all or a portion of the micromirror array
(depending upon the configuration of the system). Micromirror reset pulses are generated externally by the
DLPC200 controller in conjunction with the DLPA200 analog driver, with application of the pulses being
coordinated by the DLPC200 controller.
For more information, see the TI application report DLPA008, DMD101: Introduction to Digital Micromirror Device(DMD) Technology.
DMD functional modes are controlled by the DLPC200 digital display controller. See the DLPC200 data sheet
listed in Related Documentation. Contact a TI applications engineer for more information.
The DLPC200 provides two basic functional mode types to control the DLP5500 DMD: video and structured light.
9.4.1 Video Modes
The controller accepts RGB-8-8-8 input to port 1 or port 2 through a selectable MUX. XGA video information is
displayed on the DMD at 6 to 60 fps.
An internal pattern generator can generate RGB-8-8-8 video patterns into an internal selectable MUX for
verification and debug purposes.
9.4.2 Structured Light Modes
The DLPC200 provides two structured light modes: static image buffer and real-time structured light.
9.4.2.1 Static Image Buffer Mode
Image data can be loaded into parallel flash memory to load to DDR2 memory at startup to be displayed, or can
be loaded over USB or the SPI port directly to DDR2 memory to be displayed. Binary (1-bit) or grayscale (8-bit)
patterns can be displayed. The memory will hold 960 binary patterns or 120 grayscale patterns.
Binary (1-bit) patterns can be displayed at up to 5000 binary patterns per second. These patterns assume a
constant illumination and do not depend on illumination modulation
Grayscale (8-bit) patterns assume illumination modulation in order to achieve higher pattern rates. When the
pattern rate requires that the lower significant bit(s) be shorter than the rate that the DMD can be switched, these
bits will require the source to be modulated to achieve the shorter time required. The trade-off is dark time during
these bits. At the maximum 500 Hz grayscale pattern rate, the dark time approaches 75%.
9.4.2.2 Real Time Structured Light Mode
RGB-8-8-8 60 fps data can be input into port 1 or port 2 and reinterpreted as up to 24 binary (1-bit) patterns or
three grayscale (8-bit) patterns. The specified number of patterns is displayed equally during the exposure time
specified. Any unused RGB-8-8-8 data in the video frame must be filled with data, usually 0s.
For example, during one video frame (16.67 ms), 12 binary patterns of the 24 RGB bits are requested to be
displayed during half of the video frame time (exposure time = 8.33 ms). Each of the eight red bits and the four
most significant green bits are displayed as a binary pattern for 694 µs each. The remaining bits are ignored and
the remaining 8.33 ms of the frame will be dark.
9.5 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.
9.5.1 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.
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 and/or projection pupils 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.
9.5.3 Pupil Match
TI’s optical and image quality specifications assume that the exit pupil of the illumination optics 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.
9.5.4 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 particular system’s optical
architecture, overfill light may have to be further reduced below the suggested 10% level in order to be
acceptable.
9.6 Micromirror Array Temperature Calculation
Achieving optimal DMD performance requires proper management of the maximum DMD case temperature, the
maximum temperature of any individual micromirror in the active array, the maximum temperature of the window
aperture, and the temperature gradient between case temperature and the predicted micromirror array
temperature. (see Figure 16).
Refer to the Recommended Operating Conditions for applicable temperature limits.
9.6.1 Package Thermal Resistance
The DMD is designed to conduct absorbed and dissipated heat to the back of the Series 450 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 specified operational temperatures, refer to Figure 16. The total heat load on the DMD is
typically 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.
9.6.2 Case Temperature

9.6.3 Micromirror Array Temperature Calculation for Uniform Illumination
Micromirror array temperature cannot be measured directly; therefore it must be computed analytically from
measurement points (Figure 16), the package thermal resistance, the electrical power, and the illumination heat
load. The relationship between micromirror array temperature and the case temperature are provided by

9.7 Micromirror Landed-on/Landed-Off Duty Cycle
9.7.1 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.
Since a micromirror can only be landed in one state or the other (On or Off), the two numbers (percentages)
always add to 100.
9.7.2 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 DMD’s usable life.
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.
9.7.3 Landed Duty Cycle and Operational DMD Temperature
Operational DMD Temperature and Landed Duty Cycle interact to affect the DMD’s usable life, 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 de-rating 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 Cycle.
9.7.4 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 1.
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 in order 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:
•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.(4)
For example, assume that the red, green and blue color cycle times are 50%, 20%, and 30% respectively (in
order to achieve the desired white point), then the Landed Duty Cycle for various combinations of red, green,
blue color intensities would be as shown in Table 2.

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.
10.1 Application Information
The DLP5500 (0.55-inch XGA DMD) is controlled by the DLPC200 contoller in conjunction with the DLPA200
driver. This combination can be used for a number of applications from 3D printers to microscopes.
The most common application is for 3D structured light measurement applications. In this application, patterns
(binary, grayscale, or even full color) are projected onto the target and the distortion of the patterns are recorded
by an imaging device to extract 3D (x, y, z) surface information.
A schematic is shown in Figure 17 for projecting RGB and IR structured light patterns onto a measurement
target. Typically, an imaging device is triggered through one of the three syncs to record the data as each pattern
is displayed.
30
Figure 17. Typical RGB + IR Structured Light Application
All applications using the DLP 0.55-inch XGA chipset require the DLPC200 controller, the DLPA200 driver, and
the DLP5500 DMD for correct operation. The system also requires user supplied SRAM and a configuration
PROM programmed with the DLPR200F program file and a 50-MHz oscillator is for operation. For further details,
refer to the DLPC200 controller data sheet (DLPS014) and the DLPA200 analog driver data sheet (DLPS015).
10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
10.2.2.1 DLP5500 System Interface
Images are displayed on the DLP5500 via the DLPC200 controller and the DLPA200 driver. The DLP5500
interface consists of a 200-MHz (nominal) half-bus DDR input-only interface with LVDS signaling. The serial
communications port (SCP), 125-kHz nominal, is used by the DLPC200 to read or write control data to both the
DLP5500 and the DLPA200. The following listed signals support data transfer to the DLP5500 and DLPA200.
•DMD, 200 MHz
– DMD_CLK_AP, DMD_CLK_AN – DMD clock for A
– DMD_CLK_BP, DMD_CLK_BN – DMD clock for B
– DMD_DAT_AP, DMD_DAT_AN(1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15) – Data bus A (odd-numbered pins are used for
half-bus)
– DMD_DAT_BP, DMD_DAT_BN(1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15) – Data bus B (odd-numbered pins are used for
half-bus)
– DMD_SCRTL_AP, DMD_SCRTL_AN – S-control for A
– DMD_SCRTL_BP, DMD_SCRTL_BN – S-control for B
•DLPA200, 125 kHz
– SCP_DMD_RST_CLK – SCP clock
– SCP_DMD_EN – Enable DMD communication
– SCP_RST_EN – Enable DLPA200 communication
– SCP_DMD_RST_DI – Input data
– SCP_DMD_RST_DO – Output data
The DLP5500 power-up and power-down procedures are defined by the DLPC200 data sheet (DLPS012) and
the 0.55 XGA Chipset data sheet (DLPZ004). These procedures must be followed to ensure reliable operation of
the device.
CAUTION
Failure to adhere to the prescribed power-up and power-down procedures may affect
device reliability.
12Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
The DLP5500 is part of a chipset that is controlled by the DLPC200 in conjunction with the DLPA200. These
guidelines are targeted at designing a PCB board with these components.
12.1.1 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) and DDR2 differential clock pairs (MEM_CLK_nn),
which should be matched to 100 Ω ±10% across each pair.
12.1.2 PCB Signal Routing
When designing a PCB board for the DLP5500 controlled by the DLPC200 in conjunction with the DLPA200, 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.
<2000 mils (50 mm, for example DMD_DAT_Ann to DMD_DAT_Bnn).
All matching should include internal trace lengths. See Pin Configuration and Functions for internal
package trace lengths.
Trace width: 4 mil (0.1 mm)
Trace spacing: In ball field – 4 mil (0.11 mm); PCB etch – 14 mil (0.36 mm)
Maximum recommended trace length <6 inches (150 mm)
Table 4. Power and Mirror Clocking Pulse Trace Widths and Spacing
Signal Name
GNDMaximize5 mil (0.13 mm)Maximize trace width to connecting pin as a minimum
Fiducials for automatic component insertion should be 0.05-inch copper with a 0.1-inch cutout (antipad). Fiducials
for optical auto insertion are placed on three corners of both sides of the PCB.
12.2 Layout Example
For LVDS (and other differential signal) pairs and groups, it is important to match trace lengths. In the area of the
dashed lines, Figure 18 shows correct matching of signal pair lengths with serpentine sections to maintain the
correct impedance.
The device marking consists of the fields shown in Figure 19.
