GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Covered functions are accurate measurements for the
horizontal and vertical input frequencies to determine the
incoming video mode and advanced auto-adjustment
features that provide all data for a fast and accurate
adjustment of frequency, phase and gain settings. Both
units are able to generate interrupts for easy interfacing
with a system microcontroller with separately maskable
interrupt conditions.
The input section handles incoming data up to SXGA
resolution that can be downscaled individually in width and
height to fit to the connected panel resolution. Independent
horizontal and vertical upscaling with enhanced
programmable filter possibilities provides the IC’s core
functionality of high-quality scaling. Picture quality is
further supported by an enhanced colour management
including a 10-bit gamma correction function. A
sophisticated dithering unit allows the use of low-end 6-bit
panels while keeping up the high quality image
impression.
An advanced OSD generator is integrated with a fixed
12
×
18 ROM font consisting of 179 ANSI characters,
77 Japanese characters, 48 multicolour icons and
48 single colour icons. In addition to these fixed size
characters another 112 different border characters can be
generated in any desired font size between 8
×
8 and
32
×
32 pixels. Another 38 special characters are provided
particularly for multicolour slider icons that can be
parametrized in size and style. For higher flexibility of the
OSD appearance a downloadable mixed multicolour or
single colour font with any programmable character size
between 8
×
8 to 32
×
32 pixels and up to four colours per
character can be used and displayed together with the
predefined ROM characters. A special bitmap organized
graphical OSD with up to 16 individual colours allows to
include graphic items like company logos, while a double
buffered OSD cursor gives the ability to use animated
pointers within an on screen menu. The panel timing
interface can not only drive today’s common timing
controller based panel interfaces, but it has also the
capability to directly drive the row and column drivers of a
panel itself. An adjustable output pin ordering guarantees
easy board layout with any type of panel connector.
The SAA6713H is a dual input single-chip Thin Film
Transistor (TFT) display controller IC with analog VGA and
digital DVI 1.0 standard input capabilities. Additionally, the
SAA6713H includes a wide range of functions for
processing and the measurement of incoming RGB data
according to the requirements of an XGA TFT display.
