DLP160APFQT

Specialized ICS Overview

The DLP160APFQT is a digital micromirror device (DMD) featuring a 320 × 180 resolution array with a 5.4 µm pitch and 17° tilt angle. It utilizes a 4-bit SubLVDS input data bus for high-speed operation up to 540 MHz. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 1.95 V for logic and requires specific bias voltages for the micromirrors. Designed for ultra-compact applications, it supports side illumination and polarization-independent aluminum mirrors.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

• Ultra-compact 0.16-inch diagonal micromirror array
• 320 × 180 resolution with 5.4 µm pitch
• 4-Bit SubLVDS interface supporting up to 540 MHz clock frequency
• Compatible with DLPC3420 controller and DLPA2000/DLPA2005 drivers

Specialized ICS Applications

• Ultra-mobile, ultra-low power pico projectors
• Augmented reality glasses
• Smart home displays
• Informational displays

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the FQT suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm that the DLPC3420 display controller and appropriate PMIC/LED driver are included in the system design, as the DMD requires these components for reliable operation. Ensure thermal management meets the specified array temperature limits.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this model for portable devices requiring small form factors and low power consumption. Verify compatibility with the DLPC3420 controller chipset. Ensure the optical engine supports side illumination and maintains marginal ray angles below 55 degrees to prevent thermal degradation.

Specialized ICS Part Context

The DLP160AP is part of the DLP160 series chipset designed for ultra-compact spatial light modulation. It pairs specifically with the DLPC3420 display controller and DLPA2000 or DLPA2005 power management ICs to provide a complete solution for high-quality, low-power displays.

Specialized ICS Replacement Considerations

The DLP160CP is a similar 0.16-inch DMD with 640 × 360 resolution and may serve as an alternative if higher resolution is required, though it necessitates the DLPC3421 controller instead of the DLPC3420.
