GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADV7152 (ADV
) is a complete analog output, Video
RAM-DAC on a single CMOS monolithic chip. The part is spe-
cifically designed for use in high performance, color graphics
workstations. The ADV7152 integrates a number of graphic
functions onto one device allowing 24-bit direct True-Color op-
eration at the maximum screen update rate of 220 MHz. The
ADV7152 implements 30-bit True Color in 24-bit frame buffer
designs. The part also supports other modes, including 15-bit
True Color and 8-bit Pseudo or Indexed Color. Either the Red,
Green or Blue input pixel ports can be used for Pseudo Color.
The device consists of three high speed 10-bit video D/A con-
verters (RGB), three 256
10 (one 256
30) color look-up
tables, palette priority selects, a pixel input data multiplexer/
serializer and a clock generator/divider circuit. The ADV7152
implements 1:1 and 2:1 pixel data multiplexing. The onboard
palette priority select inputs enable multiple palette devices to
be connected together for use in multipalette and window
