6.8 RGB Interface
6.8.1 RGB Interface Selection
The RGB interface mode is available for ILI9163C and the interface is selected by setting the VIPF[3:0] bits as
following table.

The display operation via RGB interface is synchronized with the VS, HS and PCLK signals. The RGB interface
transfers the updated data to GRAM and the update area is defined by the window address function. The back
porch and back porch are used to set the RGB interface timing.

Third Transfer
Pixel clock (PCLK) is running all the time without stopping and it is used to entering VS, HS, EN and D[17:0] states
when there is a rising edge of the PCLK. The PCLK can not be used as continues internal clock for other functions
of the display module.
Vertical synchronization (VS) is used to tell when there is received a new frame of the display. This is high enable
and its state is read to the display module by a rising edge of the PCLK signal.
Horizontal synchronization (HS) is used to tell when there is received a new line of the frame. This is low enable
and its state is read to the display module by a rising edge of the PCLK signal.
