DLPC964ZUM

Specialized ICS Overview

The DLPC964ZUM is a Digital Micromirror Device controller manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed to operate the DLP991U DMD. It provides a high-speed data and control interface enabling binary pattern rates up to 12.4kHz. The device supports continuous streaming input data over 12 HSS input lanes at speeds up to 120Gbps via a 32-lane differential high-speed serial interface (HSSI). It features random DMD block addressing and LOAD2 loading capabilities. The controller processes digital image data without analog conversion, providing necessary clocking pulses and timing information to the DMD for precise light steering in spatial light modulation applications.

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ZUM package designation (1156-pin FCBGA, 35.00mm × 35.00mm) against the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the application design accommodates the required power supply voltages, including VCCINT (1.0V), VCCAUX (1.8V), and MGTAVCC (1.0V). Ensure proper ESD handling procedures are followed during assembly due to the sensitivity of the CMOS-based architecture.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select the DLPC964ZUM when interfacing specifically with the DLP991U DMD requires high-speed data throughput up to 120Gbps. This controller is suitable for applications demanding fast, accurate, and programmable light steering capabilities, such as industrial inspection or advanced displays. Verify compatibility with user-defined FPGAs for the Aurora 64B/66B GTH inputs and ensure the system design supports the required I2C control interface configuration.

Specialized ICS Part Context

The DLPC964 is part of Texas Instruments' DLP technology portfolio, serving as the central controller for DMD-based optical solutions. It bridges the gap between digital image sources and the micro-optical electromechanical DMD device. By maintaining data in digital form from input to projection, it ensures high brightness, contrast, and reliability. The ZUM suffix denotes the specific 1156-pin FCBGA package used for this generation of controllers.
