This user’s guide presents an overview of the DLP®LightCrafter™ Display 3310 evaluation module (EVM)
and a general description of the main features and functions. It explains the first steps to getting started
and shows a detailed description of on board LEDs, connectors, and overall EVM assembly. It will give the
user a start with their first DLP LightCrafter Display 3310 evaluation module.

The DLP LightCrafter Display module consists of three subsystems:
•Light engine – Includes the optics, red, green, and blue LEDs, and a Full-HD DMD capable of 300
lumens out-of-the-box.
•Display board – Includes the DLP chipset comprised of DLPC3437 controllers and DLPA3000
PMIC/LED driver.
•System board – Includes the MSP430, ITE HDMI receiver, USB-Serial Bridge controller and several
connectors for external inputs (HDMI, USB, and so forth).
This quick-start assumes default conditions as shipped.
1. Power up the DLP LightCrafter™ Display 3310 EVM by applying an external DC power supply (19-V
DC, 3.42 A) to the J4 connector. External Power Supply Requirements:
•Nominal Output Voltage: 19 VDC
•Minimum Output Current: 2.5 A; Max Output Current: 3.42 A
•Efficiency Level: VI
NOTE: TI recommends using an external power supply that complies with applicable regional safety
standards such as UL, CSA, VDE, CCC, and PSE.
NOTE: The P5V_VIN (D1) and P3P3V_SB (D7) LEDs on the System board will turn on to indicate that
5-V power and 3.3-V power are applied.
2. Move SW2 switch to the ON position to turn on the DLP LightCrafter Display 3310 EVM. When the
DLP LightCrafter Display 3310 EVM is turned on, the PROJ_ON LED (D5) will turn on.
3. After the DLP LightCrafter Display 3310 EVM is turned on; the projector will default to displaying a DLP
LightCrafter Display splash image.
4. The focus of the image can be adjusted manually on the optical engine.
Figure 6-1. Optical Engine with Focus Adjustment
5. Connect the USB to the DLP LightCrafter™ Display 3310 EVM and open the latest GUI on your
computer. If needed, connect an HDMI source to the EVM and communicate to the EVM via the GUI
software.
6. When turning off the projector, turn off the SW2 switch prior to removing the power cable.
Note: To avoid potential damage to the DMD, it is recommended to turn off the projector with the SW2
switch before disconnecting the power.
There are fourteen indicator LEDs on the DLP LightCrafter Display 3310 EVM (Display and System
boards), and they are defined in Table 6-1:

The DLP LightCrafter Display 3310 EVM is composed of three parts:
•System board
•DLP LightCrafter Display board
•Engine with LED connections and Flex cables
The system board contains the connector for the power supply, a USB connector to communicate to the
DLP LightCrafter Display software, HDMI, and the connector for the DLP LightCrafter Display board. The
system board also contains a switch to turn on the projector in case the DLP LightCrafter Display board
and the engine are connected. Figure 8-1 shows the main connectors on the system board.
The DLP LightCrafter Display board contains the RGB LED connectors, the Flex cable connector, and the
system board connector. To connect the system board to the DLP LightCrafter Display board, refer to
Figure 8-2. Note that the system board connector on the DLP LightCrafter Display board is on the bottom,
while the LED and Flex cable connectors are on the top.
Figure 8-2. Connection System Board and DLP LightCrafter Display Board
Figure 8-3 shows the display board and how it connects to the system board. The different connectors for
each LED are named on the board as well as on the light engine.
Always ensure a good connection of the flex cables and LED cables to the DLP LightCrafter Display board
