Appendix B:Example Frame Type 1 Display - Kyocera’s KCS057QV1AJ-G20
For this section, we will be using the Kyocera KCS057QV1AJ-G20 3-color STN display. The relevant timing speci-
fications from the datasheet are shown in Table 17.
Other relevant information from the Kyocera datasheet includes the horizontal and vertical resolution, which is
320x240, and the ideal refresh rate, which is 73 Hz (taken from the “Frame Frequency”). Since the display operates
in 2-2/3 pixel mode, there will be 1 VIDCLK/Pixel.
The first step in figuring the timings is to determine the VIDCLK rate using the following formula:
DesiredVidClkFreq = {[(VIDCLKs/Pixel) * (Horizontal Resolution)] + [(2 SPCLKs for each region)*(4 regions)]} *
(Vertical Resolution) * (Desired Refresh Rate)
DesiredVidClkFreq = {[(1 VIDCLK/Pixel) * (320 Pixels)] + [(2 SPCLKs for each region)*(4 regions)]} * (240 Pixels) *
(73 Hz) = (320 + 8)*(240)*(73) = 5746560 Hz
Note that this is a first estimate of the VIDCLK rate, and may need to be increased to meet timing specifications on
the part.
Next, the VIDCLKDIV register should be set up to deliver a 5746560-Hz VIDCLK. This is done using the algorithm
shown in the section “Generation of the Video Clock, VIDCLK” on page 2. Using this yields a VIDCLK of just over
5.8 MHz
The VidClkPeriod is the period of the actual VIDCLK rate:
VidClkPeriod = 1 / ActualVidClkFreq = 1 / 5.8 MHz = 172 ns
