3.2.9

Simultaneous Display

The problem with displaying pixel data to both a CRT

screen and a DSTN panel at the same time is that horizon-

tal scan lines in both the upper and lower halves of a DSTN

panel screen must be written at the same time. This differs

from the order that pixel data is written to a CRT screen,

where the pixel data for one horizontal scan line at a time is

written to the screen, starting with the scan line at the top

of the screen and ending at the bottom of the screen.

Designs which incorporate the CS9211 are able to support

simultaneous display with a DSTN panel and CRT. The

CS9211 stores DSTN pixel data in the external frame buff-

ers, and then reorders the pixel data stream to include pixel

data for both the upper and lower halves of the screen

before sending the data out to the panel. The data in the

frame buffer has already been frame-rate-modulated

and/or dithered, if necessary, and packed as three bits per

pixel.

Simultaneous display is supported only with the panel and

CRT in the same mode and refresh rate. In this mode, the

refresh rate should be set as high as possible while main-

taining compatibility with established monitor timing stan-

dards.

3.2.10 Maximum Frequency

The CS9211 will operate at a DOTCLK frequency of up to

65 MHz. There is no minimum frequency for the CS9211

device; however, many flat panels have signal timings that

require minimum frequencies. Refer to the flat panel dis-

play manufacturer’s specifications as appropriate.

3.2.11 Memory Controller

To support DSTN panels, the CS9211 memory interface

must be connected to a DRAM in either EDO (Extended

Data Out) or SDRAM format. This DRAM is used to store a

DSTN-formatted copy of the frame buffer. Pixel data is

received by the pixel port, formatted by the Frame Rate

Modulator and dither block, and then stored in the frame

buffer. The formatted pixel data is subsequently read from

the memory and used to refresh the DSTN panel. Table 3-

17 shows the registers associated with programming the

memory controller.

Description

Offset 404h-407h

Panel Timing Register 2 (R/W)

Reset Value = 00000000h

HIGH_RESOL_

MCLK

High Resolution MCLK: Selects the MCLK frequency in terms or the DOTCLK frequency.

This bit should be programmed as “0” for all the DSTN panels with resolutions up to 800x600, where the

memory clock is the same as the DOTCLK. This should be set to “1” for the 1024x768 DSTN panel to

run the memory clock at two-thirds the rate of the DOTCLK.

0 = Memory clock runs at the same frequency as DOTCLK.

1 = Memory clock runs at two-thirds the frequency of the DOTCLK.

Offset 420h-423h

Memory Control Register

Reset Value = 1EF80008h

EDO_LATE

EDO DRAM Late Latch Bit: When this bit is set, the data is latched into the CS9211, one clock after

the data arrives from the DRAM. Since SSTN and TFT panels do not use any frame buffer, this bit is

used only for DSTN panels. This bit is effective only if EDO RAM is used, as selected by bit 0 = 0.

0 = Latch the data with no delay.

1 = Latch the data with a delay of one clock.

EDO_EDGE_SEL

EDO Data Latch Edge Select: This bit controls which clock edge is used to latch data. When this bit is

set, the data from the DRAM is latched into the CS9211 on the negative edge of the memory clock.

Since SSTN and TFT panels do not use any frame buffer, this bit is used only for DSTN panels. This bit

is effective only if EDO RAM is used, as selected by bit 0 = 0.

0 = Latch on positive (rising) edge.

1 = Latch on negative (falling) edge.

SDRAM_LD

SDRAM Load Bit: SDRAM Load Mode Register. When enabled, this bit activates RAM refresh. Since

SSTN and TFT panels do not use any frame buffer, this bit is used only for DSTN panels.

0 = Disable; 1 = Enable.

SDRAM_CLK

_INVERT

SDRAM Clock: Inverts the clock to the SDRAM interface. Since SSTN and TFT panels do not use any

frame buffer, this bit is used only for DSTN panels.

0 = Useinvertedclock.

1 = Use non-inverted clock.

SDRAM_EDO

SDRAM or EDO: Selects external frame buffer memory type. Since SSTN and TFT panels do not use

any frame buffer, this bit is used only for DSTN panels. 0 = EDO; 1 = SDRAM.
