7.2.4 VESA DDSC2B and DPMS Support
The Video Processor supports VESA, DDSC2B, and
DPMS standards for enhanced monitor communications
and power management support. This support is provided
via signals DDC_SCL (muxed with IDE_DATA10) and
DDC_SDA (muxed with IDE_DATA9). F4BAR0+Memory
Offset 04h[24, 23, 22] controls the interface.
7.2.5 Integrated DACs
The Video Processor uses a Digital to Analog Converter
(DAC) for CRT display.
To interface directly with the CRT display, the Video Pro-
cessor incorporates triple 8-bit video DACs. The integrated
DACs drive the RED, GREEN and BLUE inputs of the CRT.
Each integrated DAC is an 8-bit current output type which
can run at a clock rate of up to 135 MHz. The integrated
DAC can generate voltage levels from 0 to 1.0V, when driv-
ing 75Ω double-terminated loads.
Differential and integral linearity errors, over full tempera-
ture and voltage ranges, are less than one LSB.
The peak white voltage (V
FR
- full range output voltage),
generated at the DAC, is defined according to the following
formula:
V
FR
= 3.35(V
REF
/ R

)

where:
V
REF
is the voltage at VREF (either internal bandgap refer-
ence, or externally connected voltage reference).
R
SET
is the value of resistance between SETRES and
AV
SS
(typically 470Ω).
