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 DLPC3479 controllers. The new high tilt pixel in the bottom-illuminated DMD increases brightness performance and enables a smaller system footprint for thickness constrained applications. Applications of interest include

• 3D depth capture: 3D camera, 3D reconstruction, dental scanner
• 3D machine vision: robotics, metrology, automated in-line inspection (AOI)
• 3D biometrics: facial and finger print recognition
• Integrated Display and 3D Depth Capture: Projection mapping, smart lighting, Glass-free AR Projection
• Light Exposure: Programmable spatial and temporal light exposure

DMD power-up and power-down sequencing is strictly controlled by the DLPA3000/DLPA3005. Refer to Power Supply Recommendations for power-up and power-down specifications. To ensure reliable operation, the DLP4710LC DMD must always be used with two DLPC3479 controllers and a DLPA3000 or DLPA3005 PMIC/LED driver.
