Description
R
ROM Character Fonts, 190 two-color Character Fonts that are read-only.
The format of the address is as follows:
A15–A14: Always zeros.
A13–A6: Character value (00h–BFh are valid values)
A5–A1: Row of the character (00h–11h are valid values)
A0: Low byte of line when a zero. High byte of line when a one.
The low byte will contain the first eight pixels of the line with data Bit 0 corresponding to the left
most bit in the Character Font line. The high byte will contain the last four pixels and data Bits
7–4 are “don’t cares”. Data Bit 3 of the high byte corresponds to the right most pixel in the
Character Font line.

NOTE: The value of Bit 0 of the Character Font Access Control Register (I
2
C Address 8402h) is a
zero, it indicates that the Bit 0 data value of the four-color pixels is being accessed via these
addresses. When the value of Bit 0 of the Access Control Register is a one, it indicates that the
Bit 1 data value of the four-color pixel is being accessed via these addresses.
