This application note describes typical architectures for optical systems employing a single DMD device for projection applications, primarily for small portable projectors. Pros and cons of architectures are discussed in general terms. Front- and rear screen applications are discussed briefly. Techniques and trades for maximizing critical system performance parameters, defined by the application, are discussed. Unique considerations for DMD devices in optical systems are addressed. A general discussion of image quality and specific design metrics for acceptable performance is included.

Note the majority of this document describes the use of the DMD in a projection optical system, and the DMD is designed with this application in mind. However, there are many other ways to use the DMD to manage and steer light energy. This document addresses some of the non-projection applications briefly, but cannot anticipate all uses.

The TMS320C80 ('C80) is a 32-bit multiprocessor digital signal processor (DSP) that provides direct support of two independent frame memories through on-chip controllers. This document presents a 4M-byte video random access memory (VRAM) based frame buffer interface to the 'C80 DSP. An in-depth discussion of the hardware interface for the frame buffer card palette a VRAM overview and information

Although designed to be a white light LED driver, the TPS61042 can be configured as a hysteretically controlled boost converter operating in discontinuous mode.

The purpose of this application report is to enable easy migration for designs based on the USCI_A and USCI_B modules to the eUSCI_A and the eUSCI_B modules. The document highlights the new features in the eUSCI module and the main differences between the USCI and the eUSCI modules.

The host port interface (HPI) is an 8/16-bit parallel port used to interface a host processor or device to the Texas Instruments (TI)(tm) TMS320C54x digital signal processor (DSP). The HPI enables a glueless interface with host processors containing single or dual data strobes in addition to separate or multiplexed address and data buses. This application report presents a hardware interface and t

This application report describes how to communicate with the Hercules™ UART bootloader. The UART bootloader is a small piece of code that can be programmed at the beginning of Flash to act as an application loader as well as an update mechanism for applications running on a Hercules Cortex™-R4 based RM46 microcontroller.

Analog Applications Journal is a collection of analog application articles designed to give readers a basic understanding of TI products and to provide simple but practical examples for typical applications. Written notonly for design engineers but also for engineering managers technicians system designers and marketing and salespersonnel the book emphasizes general application concepts ove

The first optimization step that you can perform on C source code for the TMS320C62xx is to use intrinsic operators. Intrinsics are used like functions and produce assembly language statements that would otherwise be inexpressible in C. The problem is that once you have performed the first optimization step your C source code is no longer ANSI C compatible. The code proposed within this appli
