Flatpanel Adapter 40-pin The BAB-430 is graphic module for the BAB-40/60 CPU boards. It features the connection of video monitors and flatpanel displays. The BAB-431/433/434 flatpanel display adapter has to be mounted on top of the BAB-430. The display adapter enables the flatpanel mode simultaneous to the video mode.
BGB offers a memory bandwidth of about 9 MB per second. To improve graphic performance the BitBLT engine of the 65548 can be used. Since the 65548 has direct access to the DRAM the BAB-430 offers then a better overall performance than the BAB-410 graphic module.
BAB-430/431/433/434 1 Specification 1.3.4 DAC for The BAB-430 offers a 8-bit DAC that is intended for contrast control of Contrast dualscan displays. By writing $00 to $FF into the DAC the output voltage Control changes linear from 0 V to about 3.2 V. The DAC is write-only.

BAB-430/431/433/434 2 Installation 2 Installation 2.1 Introduction •Carefully remove the board from the shipping carton. - Save the original shipping container and packing material for storing or reshipping the board. Avoid touching integrated circuits except in an electrostatic free environment. Electrostatic discharge can damage circuits or shorten their lifetime.
1. Set all switches S301 to off. 2. Set S902 on the BAB-40/60 to "0". 3. Remove bolts from X201 of BAB-430. 4. Plug the BAB-430 into BGB connector of the BAB-40/60. 5. Mount bolts for X201 of BAB-430. 6. Plug BAB-40/60 into the rack.
7. Plug the BAB-430 into BGB connector of the BAB-40/60. 8. Mount bolts for X201 of BAB-430. 9. Plug display adapter into X202 of the BAB-430 and the BEB of the BAB-40/60. 10. Mount screws M2.5x4 so that the BAB-430 and the display adapter are fixed together.
BAB-430/431/433/434 2 Installation 2.4 Interface Cable When ordinary flat cable is used the distance between the BAB-431/433/ 434 and the display should not exceed 0.6 m. Especially with TFT displays cable length is critical. With cable where every signal is shielded and terminated at the display side cable length may be extended up to some meters.

For initialization of a particular display RMon uses a table that is located at offset $1A00 + (n-1)*$50 in the RMon firmware EPROM. Where n is the position of S201 on the BAB-430. This table contains the numbers and values for all extension registers of the 65548 that are different from CRT setup.
Page 58
12. Modify the table at the desired offset ($1E60 is recommended for user-defined displays, which belongs to position 15 of S201 on the Bab-430) with the values you found in steps 4 to 10. 13. Program new EPROM and mount it on the BAB-40/60.
