18.3 LCD CONTROLLER OPERATION
The LCD controller uses the system interface unit to communicate with the core and external
system. It has its own DMA functionality to fetch display memory into the FIFOs for pixel
generation. The LCDCLK signal is derived from the SPLL output (VCOOUT) and is fed to
the timing generator for vertical, horizontal, and frame timing. The register set is used to
program the timing parameters for an LCD panel. Figure 18-7 illustrates the various
modules of the LCD controller.
