Achieving optimal DMD performance requires proper management of the maximum DMD case temperature, the maximum temperature of any individual micromirror in the active array and the temperature gradient between any two points on or within the package.
Refer to Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions regarding applicable temperature limits.
The DMD is designed to conduct the absorbed and dissipated heat back to the series FLS package where it can be removed by an appropriate thermal management system. The thermal management system must be capable of maintaining the package within the specified operational temperatures at the thermal test point locations (refer to Figure 15 or Micromirror Array Temperature Calculation). The total heat load on the DMD is typically driven by the incident light absorbed by the active area; although other contributions can include light energy absorbed by the window aperture, electrical power dissipation of the array, and parasitic heating. For the thermal resistance, refer to Thermal Information.
The temperature of the DMD case can be measured directly. For consistency, a thermal test point location is defined as shown in Figure 15 and Micromirror Array Temperature Calculation.
