III. Circuit Implementations: THE MAIN BODY: A-1.) Interface board block diagram: (a) Circuit operations: The scaling IC has OSD and auto detecting input timing functions. OSD offers adjustable functions to the end- users. Auto detecting timing function can detect change modes. It outputs the digital R-G-B data, pixel clock and control signal to TCON of the LCD module.

modules. In addition, RTD2555LH embedded 16.5KSRAM dynamically stores OSD command and fonts, compatible advanced color control features. EEPROM: We use 24C16 EEPROM to store monitor user data and user preset timings. There are 16 user timing modes are automatically saved in it. Each timing mode is allocated with 22 bytes of memory space for information such as Sync frequencies, polarities…...
