Memory contro
signal
supp'ied
to the
image
memory from
the
GDC, which
causes
the
image
memory
output
data
to be
sent
on the
data
bus.
Memory
contro'
signal sent
to the
image memory
from
the
GDC,
which
is the
horizontal
synchronizing
signal.
Since
the
image drawing
process
is
automatically interrupted
in the
dynamic
RAM
mode
the
refresh
address
is
output during
the
HSYNC period.
It can
also
be
used
as the
refresh
timing signal.
Refresh
is
accomplished
by
suppressing
the CAS
signal
derived from
the RAS
signal
in the
external
circuit when
the
HSYC
is at h gh
lebel
(Horizontal Synchronous
-
Refresh
timing)
Establishes
one of
following
two
modes,
depending
on
whether
the GDC is
operated
by the
master
or the
slave.
1.
When
the
master
is
operational:
sends
out the
vertical synchronizing signal.
2.
When
the
slave
is
operational
: The
synchronizing
signal
generation counter
is
initialized
by a
high
level
input.
Erase
signal
output
is
issued
at the
following
times (blanking
signal):
1.
Horizontal flyback period.
2.
Vertical flyback period
3.
Period from
the
execution
of the
SYNC
SET
command
to the
execution
of the
DISP START
command.
Memory
control
signal
sent
to the
image
memory from
the
GDC,
In the
dynamic
RAM
mode,
it is
used
as the
reference
signal
of
RAS. When
at
high level, used
as
the
timing
signal
by
which
the
address
signal
is
latched.
(Row Address Strobe)
DMA
request
output
which
is
connected
with
the DRQ
input
of the DMA
controller
is
output
by the
following
two
commands'
1.
DREQE (DMA request write):
CPU
memory
to
image
memory.
2.
DREQR (DMA
request
read).
Image memory
to CPU
memory.
It
will
be
continuously
output
until
the DMA
transfer
word/byte number
set by the
VECTW
(vector
write)
command
becomes zero.
(DMA
Request)
Signal
supplied
from
the DMA
controller that
is
subsequently decoded
by the GDC as the
read
or
write signal
during
DMA.
(DMA Acknowledge)
In the
external circuit
RD is
combined with
the
chip
select
signal
(CS).
And is
used when
the CPU
reads
from
the GDC
either
data
or
status
flag
and the
signal
DACK.
(Read
strobe)
In the
external
circuit
WR is
combined
with
the
chip
select
signal.
And is
used when
the CPU
writes
to the GDC
either
a
command
or
parameter
and the
signal DACK.
(Write
strobe)
Normally, connected
with
the
address
line
and is
used
TO
designate
data
type.

When
a

by the
light pen,
it
outputs
a
high

signal.
The CPU can
then
read
the
display

via the
LPENR
(Light

command.
