DLPC6540ZDC Display Controller: Suitable for 0.47-inch 4K UHD Projectors, Laser TVs, and Digital Signage Applications (In stock at Mingjiada, Shenzhen)

DLPC6540ZDC Product Overview

The DLPC6540ZDC is a high-performance DLP® display controller from Texas Instruments (TI), specifically designed for the DLP471TP (0.47-inch 4K UHD) DMD. It is a key component of TI’s 0.47-inch 4K Ultra HD chipset. This controller, together with the DLP471TP DMD and the DLPA3005 power management IC/LED driver, forms a complete 4K UHD display solution suitable for display applications requiring high resolution, compact size, and high brightness—such as home projectors, laser TVs, portable 4K projectors, and high-end digital signage.

With its powerful image processing capabilities, flexible input interfaces, and integrated design, the DLPC6540ZDC helps engineers achieve display resolutions up to 4K UHD (3840×2160) in a compact form factor, making it one of the most competitive 4K display control solutions currently available on the market.

Chipset Architecture

The DLPC6540ZDC must be used in conjunction with the following components to form a complete system:

DMD: DLP471TP (0.47-inch 4K UHD) Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) for light modulation

Display Controller: DLPC6540ZDC Image data processing, timing control, DMD drive

PMIC/LED Driver: DLPA3005 Power management, LED drive
