LightCrafter™ Module Overview

This chapter introduces the DLP LightCrafter module.

1.1 Welcome

Your new DLP LightCrafter module allows you to evaluate TI’s DLP 0.3-inch WVGA chipset platform along

with TI’s DaVinci Technology and the DM365 architecture.

This technology brings together a set of components providing an efficient and compelling system solution

for:

• Small display projector: embedded display, interactive display, information overlay

• Structured light applications: 3D modeling/design, biometric: fingerprint identification and face

recognition, machine vision and inspection

• Medical and life sciences: vascular imaging, dental impression scanner, intraoral dental scanners,

orthopaedics, prosthesis, CT/MRI/X-ray marking, retail cosmetics

1.2 What is in the LightCrafter EVM?

The DLP LightCrafter module consists of three subsystems:

• Light engine – includes the optics, red, green, and blue LEDs, and the 608 x 684 diamond pixel 0.3-

inch WVGA DMD. Capable of 20 lumens out-of-the-box with support to 50 lumens with user’s addition

of active cooling.

• Driver board – includes the LED driver circuits, DLPC300 DMD Controller, power management circuits,

and MSP430.

• System board – includes TMS320DM365, FPGA, and several connectors for external inputs.

Figure 1-1 shows the major hardware components.
