DLP9500BFLN

Specialized ICS Overview

The DLP9500BFLN is a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) from Texas Instruments, classified as a specialized IC and display driver. It features a 0.95-inch diagonal array with 1920 x 1080 aluminum micromirrors and a 10.8μm pitch. The device supports four 16-bit LVDS DDR input buses with clock rates up to 400MHz. Designed for visible light (400nm–700nm), it offers 96% window transmittance and 89% mirror reflectivity. Housed in a 355-CLCC package measuring 42.2mm x 42.2mm x 7mm, it requires integration with the DLPC410 controller and DLPA200 drivers for operation.

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Confirm that the complete system design includes the required DLPC410 controller and DLPA200 drivers, as the DMD alone does not function independently. Ensure compatibility with the optical engine's illumination source wavelength range.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed spatial light modulation in the visible spectrum. The 10.8μm pitch and ±12° tilt angle are critical for resolution and contrast requirements. Verify that the host system can support the 400MHz input clock rate and LVDS signaling interface necessary for proper data transmission to the micromirror array.

Specialized ICS Part Context

The DLP9500BFLN belongs to the DLP9500 series of digital micromirror devices. It serves as the core spatial light modulator within the DLP Discovery 4100 platform. This platform integrates the DMD with dedicated control electronics to provide independent micro-mirror addressing capabilities for industrial and medical applications.

Specialized ICS Replacement Considerations

The DLP9500UVFLN is an alternative variant designed for ultraviolet wavelengths rather than visible light. The legacy DLP9500FLN is listed as end-of-life. Any substitution must account for differences in spectral response and ensure mechanical compatibility with the existing 355-LCCC footprint.
