8.1 Graphics Controller

The T-MOPSlcdSA comes with a in the STPC ATLAS integrated onchip SVGA controller. The CRT

monitor display is generated by the 2D graphics display engine.

The frame buffer can occupy a space up to 4 Mbytes anywhere in the physical main memory. The

maximum graphics resolution supported is 1280 x 1024 in 16 Million colors at 75 Hz refresh rate

and is VGA and SVGA compatible.

The CRT monitor is available through the X2 connector (6 pins). To find the location of this

connector on the T-MOPSlcdSA board, please see the chapter “Connector Locations”.

To have the signals available on a standard DSUB-15 CRT monitor connector, an adapter cable is

required. For adapter cable information see the section “Connector Functions and Interface
