DLP3021FFQRQ1

Specialized ICS Overview

The DLP3021FFQRQ1 is an automotive-grade Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) from Texas Instruments, featuring a 0.3-inch diagonal micromirror array with WVGA resolution (864 × 480 effective pixels). It utilizes a diamond-format 608 × 684 mirror configuration to achieve a 16:9 aspect ratio and side illumination for compact optical designs. The device operates within a –40°C to 105°C temperature range and supports LED or laser light sources. Key electrical parameters include a maximum total power consumption of 255 mW at 80 MHz DDR interface speeds, with supply voltages of 1.8 V for logic and up to 16.5 V for mirror bias.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

• Automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) with –40°C to 105°C operating temperature range
• 0.3-inch WVGA (864 × 480) resolution using a 608 × 684 diamond-format micromirror array
• 7.6-µm pitch and ±12° tilt angle with side illumination architecture
• Low-power consumption of 255 mW maximum with 80-MHz DDR interface

Specialized ICS Applications

• Automotive exterior light control and dynamic ground projection
• Vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication warnings such as backup and door open alerts
• Integration into side mirrors, door panels, tail lights, and front grills

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix FFQRQ1 against the manufacturer's current orderable addendum to confirm package type and reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the DLPC120-Q1 controller or FPGA configurations for proper system integration. Confirm that the hermetic 54-BCLGA package meets the mechanical and thermal requirements of the target automotive enclosure.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring small form factor projection in automotive environments. The side illumination design reduces system size compared to top-illuminated alternatives. Ensure the optical system minimizes overfill light on the window aperture to maintain thermal performance and reliability within the specified 105°C limit.

Specialized ICS Part Context

This device belongs to the DLP3021-Q1 family of automotive DMDs. It is designed to work in conjunction with DLP products controllers like the DLPC120-Q1 or FPGA-based solutions. The chipset enables high-saturation color reproduction with RGB or white illumination sources, supporting over 125% NTSC color gamut for advanced vehicle personalization and safety signaling.

Specialized ICS Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify functional equivalence with other DLP3021 variants only if pinout and electrical characteristics match exactly.
