Product Overview
The 65510 VGA flat panel controller
provides a very low power consumption,
minimum chip-count, minimum-board
space, low-cost graphics solution for
inexpensive notebook, sub-notebook,
handheld and pen-based portable PCs and
word processors. The 65510 only
requires a single 256Kx16 DRAM and
single clock input, such that a complete
VGA subsystem can be implemented with
just two ICs.
The 65510 employs a variety of advanced
power management features to reduce
power consumption of the display
subsystem and extend battery life. The
65510's internal logic, memory interface,
bus interface and flat panel interface can
be independently configured to operate
at either 3.3V or 5V. The 65510 is opti-
mized for minimum power consumption
during normal operation and two power-
saving modes - Panel Off and Standby.
The 65510 supports a wide variety of
monochrome Single-Panel / Single Drive
(SS) and Dual-Panel / Dual Drive (DD)
STN LCDs, TFT LCDs EL and plasma
panels with up to 64 gray scales at
640x480 resolution or 16 gray scales at
800x600 resolution. The 65510 provides
a variety of programmable features to
optimize display quality, such as Vertical
and Horizontal Compensation, SMART-
MAP™ Text Enhancement, three select-
able color-to-gray scale reduction tech-
niques and a polynomial FRC grayscale
algorithm, which reduces flicker on fast-
response "mouse quick" LCD's without
No external buffers or glue logic are required for the 65510's bus interface, memory interface,
or panel interface.
increasing the LCD's vertical refresh rate.
The 65510 includes a number of perfor-
mance-enhancement techniques, which
provide good performance at low clock
frequencies (resulting in low power con-
sumption). The 65510's x86 SL PI and
x86 DX/SX local bus operation provides
high performance in 256-color modes.
The 65510's internal asynchronous FIFO
design provides minimum wait-state
reads and fast display updates. The
65510's linearly addressable video
memory allows the CPU to linearly
address the 512 KBytes of video memory,
enabling the use of high-performance
32-bit software drivers (called Linear
Acceleration).
The 65510 is fully compatible with the
VGA graphics standard at the register,
gate, and BIOS levels. The 65510 pro-
vides full backwards compatibility with
the EGA, CGA, MDA and Hercules
graphics standards without using NMIs.
CHIPS' and third-party vendors supply
fully VGA-compatible BIOS's, end-user
utilities and drivers for common applica-
tion programs (e.g., Windows, OS/2,
WordPerfect, Lotus, etc.). CHIPS'
drivers for Windows include a Big
Cursor (to increase the cursor's legibility
on monochrome flat panels) and 32-bit
Linear Acceleration and panning/scroll-
ing drivers (to increase performance).

MINIMUM CHIP COUNT / BOARD SPACE
The 65510 provides a minimum chip count / board space, low-cost VGA sub-system. The
65510 integrates a versatile VGA flat panel controller and 256x18 VGA palette in a 100-pin
plastic flat pack package. The 65510 requires a single 256Kx16 DRAM and single clock input,
such that a complete VGA sub-system for motherboard applications can be implemented with
just two ICs:
