For a complete DLP system, an optical module or light engine is required that contains the DLP471TE DMD, associated illumination sources, optical elements, and necessary mechanical components.

To ensure reliable operation, the DMD must always be used with DLPC7540 display controller and the TPS65145 PMIC and DLPA100. Refer to PCB Design Requirements for TI DLP TRP Digital Micromirror Devices for the DMD board design and manufacturing handling of the DMD sub assemblies.
