The Bt445 is designed specifically for high-performance, high-resolution color
graphics applications. The wide input pixel port and internal multiplexing
modes enable TTL- compatible interfacing to the frame buffer, while maintain-
ing PLL-generated 150 MHz, or externally provided 150 MHz video data rates
required for high refresh rate, high-resolution color graphics.
The Bt445 supports PLL pixel clock generation, supporting a variety of fre-
quencies using an M/N divisor scheme. This decreases system cost due to the
elimination of multiple crystal oscillators that are used to support a variety of
monitor and refresh rates. In addition, the Bt445 provides the serial VRAM
clock, video clock, and various multi-purpose system clocks.
Using a patented pixel port architecture, Flexport
be configured in an almost unlimited variety of pixel depths, multiplex modes,
and input port widths. For example, these modes include 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, 12-, 16-,
and 24-bit/pixel pseudo color and true color with overlay and cursor palette sup-
port. The Bt445 runs 24-bit true color with cursor, overlay, and palette bypass
support at pixel rates for 1280 x 1024 monitors. The Bt445 is also Bt458 soft-
ware compatible.
Other features include programmable setup and digital pixel outputs, as
required for active matrix TFT support or NTSC encoding.
