At the high level, DLP660TE DMD systems will include an illumination source, a light engine, electronic components, and software. The designer must first choose an illumination source and design the optical engine taking into consideration the relationship between the optics and the illumination source. The designer must then understand the electronic components of a DLP660TE DMD system, which is made up of a DMD board and formatter board. The DMD board channels image data to and powers the DMD chip. The formatter board supports the rest of the electronic components, which can include an FPGA, the DLPC4420 display controller, power supplies, and drivers for illumination sources, color wheels, fans, and dynamic optical components.
