Hardware Functional Specification
X19A-A-002-19
Issue Date: 01/11/06
2 Features
2.1 Memory Interface
• 16-bit DRAM interface:
• EDO-DRAM up to 40MHz data rate (80M bytes per second).
• FPM-DRAM up to 25MHz data rate (50M bytes per second).
• Memory size options:
• 512K bytes using one 256K
×
16 device.
• 2M bytes using one 1M
×
16 device.
• A configuration register can be programmed to enhance performance by tailoring the memory
control output timing to the DRAM device.
2.2 CPU Interface
• Supports the following interfaces:
• 8/16-bit Hitachi SH-3 bus interface.
• 16-bit interface to 16/32-bit Motorola MC68K microprocessors/microcontrollers.
• Philips MIPS PR31500 / PR31700.
• NEC MIPS V
R
4102.
• 8/16-bit generic interface bus.
• One-Stage write buffer for minimum wait-state CPU writes.
• Registers are memory-mapped; M/R# pin selects between memory and register address space.
• The complete 2M byte display buffer address space is directly and contiguously available
through the 21-bit address bus.
2.3 Display Support
• 4/8-bit monochrome or 4/8/16-bit color passive LCD interface for single-panel, single-drive
displays.
• 8-bit monochrome or 8/16-bit color passive LCD interface for dual-panel, dual-drive displays.
• Direct support for 9/12-bit TFT, 18/24-bit TFT are supported up to 64K color depth (16-bit data).
• External RAMDAC support using the upper byte of the LCD data bus for the RAMDAC pixel
data bus.
• Simultaneous display of CRT and 4/8-bit passive panel or 9-bit TFT panel:
• Normal mode for cases where LCD and CRT image sizes are identical.
• Line-Doubling mode for simultaneous display of 240-line images on 240-line LCD and 480-
line CRT.
• Even-Scan and interlace modes for simultaneous display of 480-line images on 240-line LCD
and 480-line CRT.
