DLPDLCR660TEVM and DLPLCRDC4422EVM Overview
1.1 Welcome
The DLP Products DLPDLCR660TEVM and DLPLCRDC4422EVM evaluation modules (EVMs) offer a
reference design to enable faster development cycles for users of the DLPC4422 chips and allow
evaluation of TI’s DLP660TE UHD 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 Machines
• Smart Projectors
• State Lighting Systems
1.2 What is in the DLPDLCR660TEVM and DLPLCRDC4422EVM Evaluation Modules (EVMs)?
The DLPDLCR660TEVM and DLPLCRDC4422EVM are designed to be used together. In fact, one cannot
be operated without the other.
The DLPDLCR660TEVM, which includes the DLP660TE display chip, includes the two flex cables
required to connect the DLPDLCR660TEVM to the DLPLCRDC4422EVM. DLPLCRDC4422EVM includes
all circuitry required to drive the DLP660TE display chip.
The DLPLCRDC4422EVM, which includes two DLPC4422 controllers in master-slave 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 DLPLCRDC4422EVM can be programmed with the DLP660TE firmware which is available on the
DLPC4422 product page. This firmware allows the DLPLCRDC4422EVM to drive the DLP660TE chip.
Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show the top side of each EVM.
NOTE: Figure 1-2 does not show the necessary flex cables needed to pair to DLPLCRDC4422EVM.

DLPDLCR660TEVM and DLPLCRDC4422EVM Overview
1.3 EVM Boards
The DLPDLCR660TEVM and DLPDLCRDC4422EVM contain the electronics required to drive the
DLP660TE DMD. The DLPLCRDC4422EVM offers several interface options for USB, I2C, and trigger
inputs and outputs.
The system block diagram Figure 1-3 details the functionality and control when using the
DLPDLCR660TEVM and DLPDLCRDC4422EVM.
Figure 1-3. EVM System Block Diagram
The major components of the DLPLCRDC4422EVM are:
• Two DLPC4422 controllers
• Two DLPA100 power management and motor driver chips
• Altera FPGA used to split incoming Vx1 data for the two DLPC4422 controllers
The major components of the DLPDLCR660TEVM are:
• DLP660TE 0.66-inch UHD DMD
• Two flex cables designed to connect the DLPDLCR660TEVM to the DLPLCRDC4422EVM
• TPS65145 used to generate the DMD's reset voltages
1.4 Other Items Needed for Operation
The DLPDLCR660TEVM and the DLPLCRDC4422EVM are evaluation modules (EVM) that are capable of
displaying images on to the DMD. However, these EVMs do not ship with optics, illumination source,
cables, power supplies, or additional hardware components. These are system parameters that are left for
the user to design, the EVMs are meant to accelerate initial system design.
• Power supply (See Section 4.1)
• Mini-USB cable: A to B USB cable
• Optics
• Illumination module and source
• Front-End Vx1 Source capable of running at 600 MHz pixel clock

DLPDLCR660TEVM and DLPLCRDC4422EVM Overview
1.5 DLPLCRDC4422EVM and DLPDLCR660TEVM EVM Flex Cable
Electrical malfunctions can occur by stressing the flex cable(s) connecting the DMD circuit board to the
DLPLCRDC4422EVM controller circuit board. Stressing the flex cable can be caused by:
• Bending the cable outside the area identified in Figure 1-4 (within 20.3 mm of connector plate centers).
• Repeatedly bending the flex cable(s) where the bend radius is less than 25.4 mm.
• A single bending of the flex cable(s) where the bend radius is less than 6.35 mm.
Figure 1-4. Flex Cable Diagram
NOTE: The minimum bend radius for forming flex cable (flexible) circuit is 6.35 mm
Minimize any handline/movement on the flex cables during operation
Use caution when bending the flex cable to not exceed bending guidelines explained above.

Quick Start
Chapter 2
DLPU077–March 2019
Quick Start
This chapter offers a quick start guide on how to connect the DLPDLCR660TEVM to the
DLPLCRDC4422EVM, how to power up the DLPLCRDC4422EVM, and how to program the
DLPLCRDC4422EVM to display a SPLASH image on the DMD.
2.1 Downloading the Software
Before programming the DLPLCRDC4422EVM, ensure the DLPC4422 GUI and DMD firmware are both
downloaded on the PC. The DLPC4422 GUI will allow for operation of the EVM and the DMD firmware is
required so the DLPLCRDC4422EVM knows which DMD is being controlled. If the DLPDLCR660TEVM is
being used with the DLPLCRDC4422EVM, the DLP660TE firmware is needed.
The DLP660TE firmware and DLPC4422 GUI can be found under the “Tools and Software” tab on the
product pages on TI.com. This is the product page for the DLP660TE and the product page for the
DLPC4422.
2.2 Connecting the DLPDLCR660TEVM to the DLPLCRDC4422EVM
Before connecting the DLPDLCR660TEVM to the DLPLCRDC4422EVM, locate the two flex cables that
are packaged with the DLPDLCR660TEVM. Ensure the flex cables are not torn or damaged before
connecting the DLPDLCR660TEVM or the DLPLCRDC4422EVM.
The flex cables are exactly the same, meaning there is not a “right” or “left” cable. The cables are
interchangeable, as long as the side of each cable labeled “DMD END” is connected to the
DLPDLCR660TEVM and the other end is connected to the DLPLCRDC4422EVM.
The steps for the connecting the EVMs are listed below:
1. Unscrew and remove the backer plate on each end of the flex cable.
2. Position the flex cable end which says “DMD END” to the backside of the DMD board.
3. Insert the two guide pins of the flex cable into the DMD board.
4. Using the guide pins, place one backer plate on the front side of the DMD board.
5. Screw the flex cable screws clockwise into the backer plate until nearly fully inserted
6. Take turns screwing in the screws so until each is lightly snug. Do not over-tighten.
