EVM User's Guide: DLPC4420AEVM
DLP® Display ≥0.47-in Array 4K UHD Evaluation Module
Description
The DLPC4420AEVM controller evaluation module
(EVM), when combined with the DLP660TEEVM,
DLP780TEEVM or DLP470TEEVM digital micromirror
device (DMD) EVMs, can accelerate the prototyping
time of DLP ultra high definition (UHD - 3840x2160)
system over 2000 lumens. The DLPC4420AEVM
provides a design for driving 4K UHD DMDs while
allowing for testing of custom front end systems.
The combination of the DLPC4420AEVM with any of
these 4K UHD DMD EVMs can display SPLASH, test
patterns or video from HDMI source on the DMD.

1 Evaluation Module Overview
This user's guide explains the hardware and software features of the DLP Products DLP660TEEVM,
DLP470TEEVM, DLP780TEEVM and DLPC4420AEVM systems. The EVM architecture and connectors
are described along with a quick start guide on how to operate the DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM,
DLP780TEEVM and DLPC4420AEVM using the DLPC44xx-GUI. Specific DLP® chip details and operation can
be found in related component documentation.
Note
Power supply, optics, illumination source, and extension cables are sold separately. See Other Items
Needed for Operation.
1.1 Introduction
The DLP Products DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM, DLP780TEEVM and DLPC4420AEVM offer a reference
design to enable faster development cycles for users of the DLPC4420 chips and allow evaluation of TI’s
DLP660TE, DLP470TE and DLP780TE UHD digital micromirror displays (DMDs). The three DMD EVMs
(DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM and DLP780TEEVM) and one controller EVM (DLPC4420AEVM) are referred
to as a chipset.
These evaluation kits bring together a set of components providing a great starting point to evaluate a UHD DLP
system for:
• Laser TV
• Enterprise Projectors
• Digital Signage
• Gaming Systems
• Smart Projectors
• Stage Lighting Systems
1.2 Kit Contents
The DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM, DLP780TEEVM and DLPC4420AEVM are designed to be used in pairs.
The DMD EVMs cannot operate without the Controller EVM, DLPC4420AEVM.
The three DMD EVMs have a board-mounted connector that mates with the DLPC4420AEVM controller board.
DLPC4420AEVM includes all circuitry required to drive the DLP660TE, DLP470TE and DLP780TE display chip.
The DLPC4420AEVM includes two DLPC4420 controllers in primary-secondary mode, two DLPA100s which
serve as the power management and motor drivers, and other system circuitry such as the Vx1 receiver and
system fan control.
The DLPC4420AEVM can be programmed with one of the three DMD's firmware which is available on the
DLPC4420 product page. This firmware allows the DLPC4420AEVM to drive the display chip. Figure 1-1, Figure
1-2 , Figure 1-3, and Figure 1-4 show the top side of each EVM.

2.3 Connecting the DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM, or DLP780TEEVM to the DLPC4420AEVM
Before connecting the DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM or DLP780TEEVM to the DLPC4420AEVM, identify the
male connector on the back of the DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM or DLP780TEEVM.
The connectors are keyed by design and must follow an orientation to mate with the female connector (J57)
located on the DLPC4420AEVM.
The EVM looks like Figure 2-5 after the FMC cables have been properly connected between the DLP660TEEVM
and the DLPC4420AEVM. The process is the same for use with the DLP470TEEVM and DLP780TEEVM.

3 Software
3.1 Quick Start
This chapter offers a quick start guide of how to:
• Download the associated software
• Connect the DLP660TEEVM, DLP470TEEVM or DLP780TEEVM to the DLPC4420AEVM
• Power up the DLPC4420AEVM
• Program the DLPC4420AEVM to display a SPLASH image on the DMD
• Troubleshoot issues
3.1.1 Downloading the Software
Before programming the DLPC4420AEVM, make sure the DLPC44xx GUI and DMD firmware have both been
downloaded to the PC. The DLPC44xx GUI allows for operation of the EVM and the DMD firmware is required
according to DMD being utilized. If the DLP660TEEVM is being used with the DLPC4420AEVM, then the
DLP660TE firmware is needed. Otherwise, if the DLP470TEEVM is used, then the DLP470TE firmware is
needed.
The DMD firmware and DLPC44xx GUI can be found under the Software Development tab on the product pages
on TI.com. Please see the product pages for the DLP660TE, DLP470TE, DLP780TE, and DLPC4420.
3.1.2 Powering-up the DLPC4420AEVM and Preparing for the DLPC4420AEVM to be Programmed
Before powering up the EVM, make sure the included DLPC4420AEVM jumpers are in the correct positions. The
jumper locations are listed in Table 3-1.

Jumper J31 is the Hold BL jumper. This jumper is used to put the DLPC4420AEVM into boot loader mode, which
allows the DLPC4420 controllers to be programmed. Connect this jumper to prepare the DLPC4420AEVM to be
programmed.
To power up the DLPC4420AEVM, a 12 V, 5 A power supply is needed. Make sure the power supply is
functional and the switch SW1 on the EVM is set to off before connecting the power supply to the EVM.
Connecting the power supply when the switch is in the off position can prevent damage to the DLPC4420AEVM
from poor power connections. The image below shows SW1 in the on position.

Once the power supply has been connected to the DLPC4420AEVM, the switch SW1 can be flipped to the on
position. You can then plug in the USB cable into the board to prepare for programming the board.
3.1.3 Programming the DLPC4420AEVM and Displaying a SPLASH Image
Follow these steps to download and configure the DLPC44xx GUI:
1. The Projector Control (.projector) and Firmware binary(.img) files are located in the install directory. The
same procedure applies to the DLP470TEEVM and DLP780TEEVM with the appropriate firmware.
2. Setting up Communication Preferences:
a. DLPC44xx GUI supports USB and I2C communication. To change these settings, please go to Edit-
>Preferences->Communication.

b. For USB, please select the USB interface.
Note
USB is the preferred method to download the firmware flash image to the projector as USB is
much faster than I2C.
