Video (VGA/LVDS) Interface
The CPU provides the graphics control and video signals to the traditional glass CRT monitors and LCD flat
panel displays. The chip features are listed below:
VGA features:
•
Supports a maximum resolution of 1400 x 1050 at 60Hz
•
Provides 2D registers for added color, depth, resolution, and hardware acceleration
•
Provides integrated 3 x 8-bit DAC with R, G, and B signals to the monitor
LVDS features:
•
Integrated single LVDS channel supporting resolution up to 1280 x 800 or 1366 x 768
•
Supports 1 x 18 data format
•
Supports transmit clock frequency ranges from 25 MHz to 112 MHz
Table 3-6
lists the pin signals of the video (LVDS/VGA) header, which provides 30 pins, 2 rows, odd/even
pin sequence (1, 2) with 0.079" (2mm) pitch.
