Getting Pixels on the Screen

• Need to hook up RAMDAC to convert Pixels to RGB.

  • RAM (palette Table) + Digital to Analog Converter

• Will look at a Brooktree RAMDAC as an example

  • 8 bit pixel input used to address 256 x 24 lookup table
  • 15, 16, or 24/32 BPP true color supported (lookup table bypassed).
  • Dual edge clocking supported to reduce number of load clocks for true color pixels
