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 dual DLPC3437 controllers. The new high tilt pixel in the side-illuminated DMD increases brightness performance and enables a smaller system footprint for thickness constrained applications. Applications of interest include projection embedded in display devices like battery powered mobile accessory full HD projectors, battery powered smart full HD projectors, digital signage, interactive surface projection, low latency gaming displays, interactive displays, and wearable displays.

DMD power-up and power-down sequencing is strictly controlled by the DLPA3000/DLPA3005. Refer to Section 9 for power-up and power-down specifications. To ensure reliable operation, the DLP3310 DMD must always be used with two DLPC3437 controllers and a DLPA3000/DLPA3005 PMIC/LED driver.
