DLP display and light controller in 201-NFBGA
The Texas Instruments DLPC3478CZEZ is a DLP display and light controller driver IC designed to drive DLP2010 and similar DLP chip sets for compact projection and light-steering applications. It integrates the frame processing, pixel data formatting, and light control sequencing needed for a DLP-based optical engine. The controller communicates with the host processor through an I²C interface for configuration and a parallel interface for high-speed pixel data transfer. The core supply operates from 1.045V to 1.155V, a tight ±5% window around 1.1V that demands a clean, well-regulated rail. The 185 mA supply current at that core voltage translates to roughly 200 mW dissipation, which the 201-ball NFBGA package (13x13 mm body) must shed through the PCB — the exposed thermal pad needs a solid via stitch to the ground plane for any continuous operation above 85°C ambient. The operating temperature range of -30°C to 85°C covers most commercial and light industrial environments — office projectors, digital signage, head-up display prototypes, and industrial light-steering modules. It does not extend to the -40°C low end required for automotive under-hood or outdoor telecom cabinet deployment, so verify the cold-start ambient before committing the BOM.
Package and mounting — layout considerations
The DLPC3478CZEZ is supplied in a 201-VFBGA package (supplier device package 201-NFBGA, 13x13 mm). Surface-mount assembly with standard reflow profile; MSL level is not in the record, so assume MSL 3 as typical for BGA packages and plan a bake if the moisture barrier bag has been open past floor life. The Tray shipping medium is the factory packaging for this BGA device — trays protect the balls during handling and are the standard format for pick-and-place feeders. If you need Tape & Reel for high-volume assembly, check with your distributor whether a reel option exists for this order code or if a tray-to-reel conversion service is required.
Lifecycle and supply position
The ROHS3 compliance confirms it meets current environmental regulations for EU and global markets. For BOM planning, the active status means standard lead times through authorized distribution.
