Texas Instruments DLPC900 DLP Digital Controller

Texas Instruments DLPC900 DLP Digital Controller is a single scalable digital micromirror device (DMD) controller that supports the reliable operation of the DLP6500 and DLP9000 DMDs. This high-performance DMD controller enables programmable, high-speed pattern rates for advanced light control, especially in industrial, medical, and scientific applications. The Texas Instruments DLPC900 pattern rates enable fast and accurate 3D scanning and 3D printing. The pattern rates also support high-resolution and intelligent imaging applications. The DLPC900 offers 128 megabits of embedded DRAM for convenient buffering of up to 400 1-bit patterns. The input and output triggers offer an easy connection and synchronization with a variety of cameras, sensors, and other peripherals. Numerous ports and connectivity options offer system flexibility and simplify chip integration into a variety of end equipment.
