Wiki DLP4100

Overview¶

The DLP® Discovery™ 4100 (D4100) is the latest in a series of spatial light modulation development kits from Texas
Instruments. Users of the D4100 Starter Kit have the ability to manipulate visible, ultraviolet and near-infrared light
with extremely high performance and high resolution.
The D4100 offers developers a flexible platform to design products to fit most any application using the proven
reliability of DLP technology.

J2 – EXP Voltage Select

J4 – Used to select the revision of firmware loaded from the PROM to the APPSFPGA.

Jumper Position	Revision Version
open	0
close	1

J5 – Shared USB signal disabled

Jumper Position	USB Signals
0-1	Disconnected from FPGA
1-2	Connected to FPGA
2-3	Automatically connect USB signals to FPGA when USB is connected to host PC

J7 – USB EEPROM Programming Header

Used to temporally disconnect the USB EEPROM fromthe device so the device can load its internal
boot loader rather than any code in the EEPROM. Install J8 for Cypress internal boot loader.

J10 – DAD2000 B Output Enable

Used to enable the outputs for DAD2000 B. This needs to be enabled only if using the 1080p DMD,
otherwise this can be disabled.

Jumper Position	DAD2000 B Outputs
open	Disabled
close	Enabled

J11 – Used to select the revision of firmware loaded from the PROM to the DDC4100 (FPGA X5VLX30).
