DLP5534Q1EVM Evaluation Module User's Guide
The DLP5534Q1 Evaluation Module (EVM) is a complete electronic subsystem designed to drive the
DLP5534-Q1 chipset. The DLP5534-Q1 chipset consists of the DLP5534-Q1, the DLPC230-Q1, and the
TPS99000-Q1. When combined with illumination and projection optics, 405 nm and other LEDs this EVM
can be used to develop an automotive grade projector for applications such as transparent window display
utilizing phosphor film(s) embedded in a window.
Except for the DMD, there are no optical elements provided with this EVM. It is expected that this EVM is
procured in order to mount to a custom designed projector.
The DLP5534Q1 EVM is not a production design. It is intended for evaluation only.

User Guide Overview
1 User Guide Overview
This user's guide presents an overview and general description of the DLP5534Q1 EVM and provides first
steps for getting started using the EVM.
1.1 What is in the DLP5534Q1 EVM
The DLP5534Q1 electronics EVM 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 Figure 1 includes the DLP5534-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 DLP5534-Q1 DMD. The EVM can be
controlled with either an SPI or 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 includes a flex interface to control the Illumination
Driver PCB. The EVM has external photodiode inputs and thermistor inputs which are not used for this
application.

The Controller PCB contains the ports listed in Table 1. Indicator LEDs are listed in Table 2.

User Guide Overview
The Controller PCB switches are listed in Table 3. SW4 is a toggle switch for PROJ_ON which is used to
turn on and off the electronics. Note that parts of the board are still powered when PROJ_ON is in the off
position. SW1, SW2, and SW3 are dip switches that control the states of configuration signals the
DLPC230-Q1 reads when it comes out of reset. These switches should be set based on the desired
configuration options.

User Guide Overview
1.1.2 Illumination Driver PCB
The Illumination Driver PCB shown in Figure 2 is controlled by the Controller PCB over a flex cable.
Power can be input to the Illumination Driver from a lab supply. The Illumination driver provides reverse
bias protection and supplies power to the Controller PCB over a separate cable. The Illumination Driver
has outputs for one to three 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.
Hot surface. Contact may cause burns. Do not touch!

WARNING
When choosing your LED component (not included with this EVM)
the end user must consult the LED data sheet supplied by the LED
manufacturer to identify the EN62471 Risk Group Rating and
review any potential eye hazards associated with the LED chosen.
Always consider and implement the use of effective light filtering
and darkening protective eyewear and be fully aware of
surrounding laboratory-type set-ups when viewing intense light
sources that may be required to minimize or eliminate such risks in
order to avoid accidents related to temporary blindness.
The Illumination Driver PCB contains the ports listed in Table 4.
