Overview

This reference design features the DLP® Pico® products 0.3-inch 3.6-megapixel near-UV digital micromirror device (DMD) chipset for 3D printers. The design incorporates the DLP300S or DLP301S 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) DMD, DLPC1438 display controller, and the DLPA2005 PMIC/LED driver. The DLPC1438 3D print controller supports reliable operation of the DLP300S and DLP301S digital micromirror devices (DMDs) for DLP 3D printer applications. The DLPC1438 controller provides a convenient interface between user electronics and the DMD to enable fast, high resolution, reliable DLP 3D printers.

Features
  • Digital controller for 0.3-inch 3.6-megapixel DMD
  • Linear gamma modes optimized for optimizing illumination uniformity and grayscale printing
  • Programmable exposure time
  • 8-bit monochrome gray scale output
  • Programmable LED current control
