The DLP chipset, consisting of the DLP2010NIR digital micromirror device (DMD), DLPA2005 integrated power management and DLPC150 controller, boasts low power consumption, programmable high-speed patterns and the latest high-tilt 5.4μm pixel size for use in compact optical designs.

The DLP2010NIR DMD is the smallest, most efficient DLP chip and is designed for a variety of handheld NIR sensing application areas, including spectrometers and chemical analyzers. Application areas include farming, food and drink, petrochemical, health, and skin care industries.

When the chipset is paired with the Bluetooth and Bluetooth low energy-enabled DLP NIRscan Nano evaluation module (EVM), designers can easily prototype portable analyzers to accelerate the development of ultramobile spectrometers.

Features :

- The two-dimensional micromirror array combined with a single point detector provides a lower cost and greater signal capture than linear array systems.

- A wide NIR-window transmittance of 700-2,500 nm enables accurate spectral analysis and the measurement of a variety of materials.

- Its small size and 17-degree pixel tilt allow for compact, side illuminated optical engine designs, suitable for handheld or embedded systems.

- The chip's programmable high-speed 854 x 480 micromirror array allows advanced filtering for fast measurements in handheld applications.
