XDR Memory Architecture: The Picture Perfect Solution for HDTV
Texas Instruments' DLP projectors are the latest digital consumer electronics products to take advantage of Rambus' XDR memory architecture. With the XDR memory architecture, DLP projectors provide unmatched image quality and stunning color, and are ideal for displaying movies, sports, games or digital photos in up to 1080p resolution.
At the heart of a DLP projector is the DLP chip or Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) with its millions of microscopic mirrors. Image processing and control of the DMD is handled by the sophisticated DLP ASIC and DMD control IC. This ASIC incorporates a 2-Byte wide XIO interface which connects to a single 512Mb XDR DRAM. A single XDR DRAM provides all the necessary bandwidth and capacity to enable the amazing visual performance of the DLP architecture.
