DIGITAL-LOGIC AG
High Performance Integrated Memory
The integrated SDRAM memory can support up to 83MHz operation, thus increasing the available memory
bandwidth for the graphics subsystem. The result is support for additional high color / high resolution graph-
ics modes combined with real-time video acceleration. This additional bandwidth also allows more flexibility
in the other graphics functions intensely used in Graphics User Interface (GUIs) such as Microsoft
TM
dows .
Versatile Panel Support
The 69000 support a wide varety of monochrome and color Single-Panel, Single-Drive (SS) and Dual-Panel,
Dual-Drive (DD), standard and high-resolution, passive STN and active matrix TFT/MIM LCD, and EL pan-
TM
els. With HiQColor technology, up to 256 gray scales are supported on passive STN LCDs. Up to 16.7M
different colors can be displayed on passive STN LCDs and up to 16.7M colors on 24bit active matrix LCDs.
The 69000 offers a varety of programmable features to optimize display quality. Vertical centering and
streching are provided for handling modes with less than 480 lines on 480-line panels. Horizontal and vertical
streching capabilities are also available for both text and graphics modes for optimal display of VGA text and
graphics modes on 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024 panels.
Low Power Consumption
The 69000 uses a variety of advanced power management features to reduce power consumption of the
display sub-system and to extend battery life. optimized for 3.3V operation, the 69000 internal logic, bus and
panel interfaces operate at 3.3V but can tolerate 5V operation.
Software Compatibility / Flexibility
The 69000 is fully compatible with the VGA standard at both the register and BIOS levels. DIGITAL-LOGIC
supply a fully VGA compatible BIOS, end-user utilities and drivers for common application programs.
Acceleration for All Panels and All Mode
The 69000 graphics engine is designed to support high performance graphics and video acceleration for all
supported display resolutions, display types, and color modes. There is no compromise in performance op-
erating in 8, 16, or 24 bpp color modes allowing true acceleration while displaying up to 16.7M colors.
