The DMDs are spatial light modulators which reflect incoming light from an illumination source to one of two directions, with the primary direction being into a projection or collection optic. Each application is derived primarily from the optical architecture of the system and the format of the data coming into the DLPC150/3470 controller. The new high tilt pixel in the side illuminated DMD increases device efficiency and enables a compact optical system. The DLP2010NIR DMD can be combined with a grating and single element detector to replace expensive InGaAs linear array detector designs, leading to high performance, cost-effective portable NIR Spectroscopy solutions. Applications of interest include machine vision systems, spectrometers, medical systems, skin analysis, material identification, chemical sensing, infrared projection, and compressive sensing.

DMD power-up and power-down sequencing is strictly controlled by the DLPA2000 or DLPA2005. Refer to Power Supply Recommendations for power-up and power-down specifications. DLP2010NIR DMD reliability is only specified when used with DLPC150/3470 controller and DLPA2000 or DLPA2005 PMIC/LED Driver.
