1.0 Introduction/Product Description
The 69000 series graphics accelerators are very high performance LCD/CRT controllers that provide a com-
plete video subsystem solution with low power consumption, hardware acceleration for GUI applications
and a minimal component count. The high level of integration permits a direct interface to the PCI Bus, thus
making the HiQVideo™ controller a low-cost, high-performance graphics solution.
The demo kits for the 69000 in the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) environment uses a base board known
as the DKHiQV-AGP DK Board. A daughtercard containing the graphics controller is installed onto the main
DK board to complete the design kit. This User's Guide describes the main DK board. The use of a 69000
graphics accelerator on an ABHiQV daughtercard is also described in the ABHiQV User's Guide.
The DKHiQV-AGP board is a full-size AT add-in card. It has bus connectors to interface with the AGP at
speeds up to 66MHz. The multiple jumper configurations and connectors allow the DK board to test perfor-
mance benchmarks, demonstrate various multimedia features supported by the HiQVideo™ family, mea-
sure power consumption and connect to panels and monitors. This demo kit is intended for demonstration
purposes only and is not for use as a reference design. The designer should do the appropriate analysis
and simulation to verify the design meets the AGP design specifications (see AGP specification 2.1). The
69000 supports FRAME-based AGP or PCI-66MHz (see the PCI specification 2.1 for full details). Plug-and-
Play is possible on the AGP Bus, thus making AGP easy to use. The AGP uses the PCI-66MHz PCI (rev
2.1) specifications as an operational baseline. AGP does not replace the PCI bus in the system, but pro-
vides performance enhancements by way of sideband signals. The PCI autoconfiguration feature deter-
mines interrupt setting and software defaults. The 69000 HiQVideo™ VGA controller is mounted on a
daughtercard which plugs into a connector on the DKHiQV-AGP board to make a complete design kit. This
allows the user to exchange silicon simply by replacing the daughtercard without having to replace the entire
kit.
