6.7.7 Flat Panel Display Controller
6.7.7.1 FP Functional Overview
The flat panel (FP) display controller converts the digital
RGB output of the Video Mixer block to digital output suit-
able for driving a TFT flat panel LCD.
Features include:
• 24-bit color support for digital pixel input.
• 170 MHz pixel clock operation supports up to
1600x1200 TFT panels.
• Supports most SVGA TFT panels and the VESA FPDI
(Flat Panel Display Interface) Revision 1.0 Specification.
• TFT panel support provided by use of one connector
allows a pass-through mode for the digital pixel input.
• 9-, 12-, 18-, and 24-bit 1 pixel per clock TFT support.
• 9+9 or 12+12-bit, and 24-bit 2 pixels per clock TFT panel
support.
• Programmable dither, up to 64 levels.
6.7.7.2 FP Architecture Overview
The FP display controller contains the following functional
blocks, as shown in Figure 6-36:
• Dither Engine
