DISPLAY-CTRL - High Resolution Display Controller

HD Display.PNG

The DISPLAY-CTRL is a synthesizable IP intended for use with Video DACs with RGB interface up to 24 bits per pixel, Horizontal and Vertical synchronization signals, and Blanking (Data Enable) signal.

The controller accepts two different input color formats: RGB 24 bits per pixel and RGB 15 bits per pixel. All horizontal and vertical timing parameters such as horizontal/vertical front porch, back porch and sync intervals are programmable.

In order to facilitate the use of the DISPLAY-CTRL core in AMBA® bus-based microprocessor systems, a 64-bit AHB Master and 32-bit AHB Slave interfaces and FIFO controller are provided.

  • RGB24 (8:8:8) and RGB15 (5:5:5) input data formats
  • AMBA® system bus interface with 64-bit data master and 32-bit data slave interfaces
  • Supports all regular and wide-screen resolutions from QVGA (320x240 pixels) to WUXGA (1920x1200)
  • Output interface for Video DAC
  • Progressive scanning mode support
  • Dedicated unidirectional DMA controller with burst transaction support
  • Fully configurable monitor frequencies and aspect ratios
  • Hardware support for display functions
  • Configurable internal FIFO
  • Full HD and higher resolutions
  • Seamless AMBA® AHB bus integration
  • Variety of user-configurable options

The DISPLAY-CTRL core has a set of synthesizable parameters that allow adjustment of the core for a particular application:

  • Depth of the FIFO memory
  • The almost full level of FIFO
  • The almost empty level of FIFO
  • Easy connection to DVI and HDMI interfaces, TFT controllers and analog RGB interfaces with a Video DAC compatible with RS-343A/RS-170 standards
  • Portable video systems
  • Advanced mobile phones with video capabilities
