High Performance (Landscape Modes Only)
When this bit = 0, the internal Memory Clock (MCLK) is a divided-down version of the
Pixel Clock (PCLK). The denominator is dependent on the bit-per-pixel mode - see the
table below.

MClk = PClk

When this bit = 1, MCLK is fixed to the same frequency as PCLK for all bit-per-pixel
modes. This provides a faster screen update performance in 1/2/4 bit-per-pixel modes, but
also increases power consumption. This bit can be set to 1 just before a major screen
update, then set back to 0 to save power after the update. This bit has no effect in SwivelView mode. Refer to REG[1Bh] SwivelView Mode Register on page 67 for SwivelView
mode clock selection.

Input Clock Divide
When this bit = 0, the Operating Clock(CLK) is the same as the Input Clock (CLKI).
When this bit = 1, CLK = CLKI/2.
In landscape mode PCLK=CLK and MCLK is selected as per Table 8-3: “High Performance Selection”.
In SwivelView mode, MCLK and PCLK are derived from CLK as shown in Table 8-8:
“Selection of PCLK and MCLK in SwivelView Mode,” on page 68.

bit 3

Display Blank
This bit blanks the display image. When this bit = 1, the display is blanked (FPDAT lines
to the panel are driven low). When this bit = 0, the display is enabled.

bit 2

Frame Repeat (EL support)
This feature is used to improve Frame Rate Modulation of EL panels. When this bit = 1,
an internal frame counter runs from 0 to 3FFFFh. When the frame counter rolls over, the
modulated image pattern is repeated (every 1 hour when the frame rate is 72Hz). When
this bit = 0, the modulated image pattern is never repeated.

bit 1

Hardware Video Invert Enable
In passive panel modes (REG[01h] bit 7 = 0) FPDAT11 is available as either GPIO4 or
hardware video invert. When this bit = 1, Hardware Video Invert is enabled via the
FPDAT11 pin. When this bit = 0, FPDAT11 operates as GPIO4. See Table 8-4: “Inverse
Video Mode Select Options” below.
Note

Video data is inverted after the Look-Up Table.
bit 0

Software Video Invert
When this bit = 1, Inverse Video Mode is selected. When this bit = 0, Standard Video

This register is used to create a virtual image by setting a word offset between the last
address of one line and the first address of the following line. If this register is not equal to
zero, then a virtual image is formed. The displayed image is a window into the larger virtual image. See Figure 8-1: “Screen-Register Relationship, Split Screen,” on page 65.
This register has no effect in SwivelView modes. See “REG[1Ch] Line Byte Count Register for SwivelView Mode” on page 68.

Screen 1 Vertical Size Bits [9:0]
This register is used to implement the Split Screen feature of the S1D13705. These bits
determine the height (in lines) of Screen 1.
In landscape modes, if this register is programmed with a value, n, where n is less than the
Vertical Panel Size (REG[06h], REG[05h]), then lines 0 to n of the panel contain Screen 1
and lines n+1 to REG[06h], REG[05h] of the panel contain Screen 2. See Figure 8-1:
“Screen-Register Relationship, Split Screen,” on page 65. If Split Screen is not desired,
this register must be programmed greater than, or equal to the Vertical Panel Size,
REG[06h] and REG[05h].
In SwivelView modes this register must be programmed greater than, or equal to the Vertical Panel Size, REG[06h] and REG[05h]. See “SwivelView™” on page 77.

LUT Address Bits [7:0]
These 8 bits control a pointer into the Look-Up Tables (LUT). The S1D13705 has three
256-position, 4-bit wide LUTs, one for each of red, green, and blue – refer to Section 11,
“Look-Up Table Architecture” on page 71 for details.
This register selects which LUT entry is read/write accessible through the LUT Data Register (REG[17h]). Writing the LUT Address Register automatically sets the pointer to the
Red LUT. Accesses to the LUT Data Register automatically increment the pointer.
For example, writing a value 03h into the LUT Address Register sets the pointer to R[3].
A subsequent access to the LUT Data Register accesses R[3] and moves the pointer onto
G[3]. Subsequent accesses to the LUT Data Register move the pointer onto B[3], R[4],
G[4], B[4], R[5], etc.
Note

The RGB data is inserted into the LUT after the Blue data is written, i.e. all three colors
must be written before the LUT is updated.

These bits determine the direction of the GPIO[4:0] pins.
When the GPIOn Pin IO Configuration bit = 0, the corresponding GPIOn pin is configured
as an input. The input can be read at the GPIOn Status/Control Register bit. See REG[19h]
GPIO Status/Control Register.
When the GPIOn Pin IO Configuration bit = 1, the corresponding GPIOn pin is configured
as an output. The output can be controlled by writing the GPIOn Status/Control Register
bit.
Note

These bits have no effect when the GPIOn pin is configured for a specific function (i.e.
as FPDAT[11:8] for TFT/D-TFD operation).
When configured as IO, all unused pins must be tied to IO VDD.

This register is the byte count from the beginning of one line to the beginning of the next
consecutive line (commonly called “stride” by programmers). This register may be used to
create a virtual image in SwivelView mode.
When this register = 00 the “stride” = 256 bytes. This value is used for 240x320 8 bpp
default SwivelView mode
When the Line Byte Count Register = n, where 1 ≤ n ≤ FFh, the “stride” = n bytes.

REG[1Eh] and REG[1Fh]

REG[1Eh] and REG[1Fh] are reserved for factory S1D13705 testing and should not be
written. Any value written to these registers may result in damage to the S1D13705 and/or

12 SwivelView™
Many of todays applications use the LCD panel in a portrait orientation. In this case it
becomes necessary to “rotate” the displayed image by 90°. This rotation can be done by
software at the expense of performance or, it can be done by the S1D13705 hardware with
no CPU penalty.
There are two SwivelView modes: Default SwivelView Mode and Alternate SwivelView
Mode.

12.1 Default SwivelView Mode
Default SwivelView Mode requires the SwivelView image width be a power of two, e.g. a
240-line panel requires a minimum virtual image width of 256. This mode should be used
whenever the required virtual image can be contained within the integrated display buffer
(i.e. virtual image size ≤ 80K bytes), as it consumes less power than the Alternate
SwivelView Mode.
For example, the panel size is 320x240 and the display mode is 8 bit-per-pixel. The virtual
image size is 320x256 which can be contained within the 80K Byte display buffer.
Default SwivelView Mode also requires Memory Clock (MCLK) ≥ Pixel Clock (PCLK).
The following figure shows how the programmer sees a 240x320 image and how the image
is displayed. The application image is written to the S1D13705 in the following sense:
A–B–C–D. The display is refreshed by the S1D13705 in the following sense: B-D-A-C.

12.1.1 How to Set Up Default SwivelView Mode
The following describes the register settings needed to set up Default SwivelView Mode
for a 240x320x8 bpp image:
• Select Default SwivelView Mode: REG[1Bh] bit 7 = 1 and bit 6 = 0
• The display refresh circuitry starts at pixel “B”, therefore the Screen 1 Start Address
register must be programmed with the address of pixel “B”, i.e.
REG[10h], REG[0Dh], REG[0Ch] = AddressOfPixelB
= ( AddressOfPixelA + ByteOffset )
240pixels × 8bpp
= AddressOfPixelA +  -------------------------------------------- – 1
8bpb
= AddressOfPixelA + EFh
Where bpp is bits-per-pixel and bpb is bits-per-byte.

• The Line Byte Count Register for SwivelView Mode must be set to the virtual-image
width in bytes, i.e.
256
REG [ 1Ch ] = ----------------------------------------- = 256
--------- = 256 = 00h
( 8bpb ) ÷ ( 8bpp )
1

:see REG[1Ch] for explanation

Where bpb is bits-per-byte and bpp is bits-per-pixel.

• Panning is achieved by changing the Screen 1 Start Address register:
• Increment the register by 1 to pan horizontally by one byte, e.g. one pixel in 8 bpp
mode
• Increment the register by twice the effective value of the Line Byte Count register to
pan vertically by two lines, e.g. add 200h to pan by two lines in the example above.
Note

Vertical panning by a single line is not supported in Default SwivelView Mode.

12.2 Alternate SwivelView Mode
Alternate SwivelView Mode may be used when the virtual image size of Default
SwivelView Mode cannot be contained in the 80K byte integrated frame buffer. For
example, the panel size is 480x320 and the display mode is 4 bit-per-pixel. The minimum
virtual image size for Default SwivelView Mode would be 480x512 which requires
122,880 bytes. Alternate SwivelView Mode requires a panel size of only 480x320 which
needs only 76,800 bytes.
Alternate SwivelView Mode requires the Memory Clock (MCLK) to be at least twice the
frequency of the Pixel Clock (PCLK), i.e. MCLK ≥ 2 x PCLK. This makes the power
consumption in Alternate SwivelView Mode higher than in Default SwivelView Mode
while increasing performance.
The following figure shows how the programmer sees a 480x320 image and how the image
is being displayed. The application image is written to the S1D13705 in the following
sense: A–B–C–D. The display is refreshed by the S1D13705 in the following sense: B-DA-C.

12.2.1 How to Set Up Alternate SwivelView Mode
The following describes the register settings needed to set up Alternate SwivelView Mode
for a 320x480x4 bpp image.
• Select Alternate SwivelView Mode:
REG[1Bh] bit 7 = 1 and bit 6 = 1
• The display refresh circuitry starts at pixel “B”, therefore the Screen 1 Start Address
register must be programmed with the address of pixel “B”, or
REG[10h], REG[0Dh], REG[0Ch] = AddressOfPixelB
= ( AddressOfPixelA + ByteOffset )
320pixels × 4bpp
= AddressOfPixelA +  -------------------------------------------- – 1


8bpb
= AddressOfPixelA + 9Fh
Where bpp is bits-per-pixel and bpb is bits-per-byte.

• The Line Byte Count Register for SwivelView Mode must be set to the image width in
bytes, i.e.
320
320
REG [ 1Ch ] = ------------------------------------------ = --------- = 160 = A0h
( 8bpb ) ÷ ( 4bpp )
2
Where bpb is bits-per-byte and bpp is bits-per-pixel.

• Panning is achieved by changing the Screen 1 Start Address register:
• Increment the register by 1 to pan horizontally by one byte, e.g. two pixels in 4 bpp
mode
• Increment the register by the value in the Line Byte Count register to pan vertically by
one line, e.g. add A0h to pan by one line in the example above

12.3 Comparison Between Default and Alternate SwivelView Modes
Table 12-1: Default and Alternate SwivelView Mode Comparison
Item

Default SwivelView Mode

Alternate SwivelView Mode

The width of the rotated image must be a power
of 2. In most cases, a virtual image is required
where the right-hand side of the virtual image is
unused and memory is wasted. For example, a
Memory Requirements 320x480x4bpp image would normally require only Does not require a virtual image.
76,800 bytes - possible within the 80K byte
address space, but the virtual image is
512x480x4bpp which needs 122,880 bytes - not
possible.

Clock Requirements

CLK need only be as fast as the required PCLK.

MCLK, and hence CLK, need to be 2x PCLK. For
example, if the panel requires a 3MHz PCLK,
then CLK must be 6MHz. Note that 25MHz is the
maximum CLK, so PCLK cannot be higher than
12.5MHz in this mode.

Power Consumption

Lowest power consumption.

Higher than Default Mode.

Panning

Vertical panning in 2 line increments.

Vertical panning in 1 line increments.

Performance

Nominal performance.

Higher performance than Default Mode.

12.4 SwivelView Mode Limitations
The only limitation to using SwivelView mode on the S1D13705 is that split screen
operation is not supported.

13.4 Panel Power Up/Down Sequence
After chip reset or when entering/exiting a power save mode, the Panel Interface signals
follow a power on/off sequence shown below. This sequence is essential to prevent damage
to the LCD panel.

Figure 13-1: Panel On/Off Sequence
After chip reset, LCDPWR is inactive and the rest of the panel interface output signals are
held “low”. Software initializes the chip (i.e. programs all registers except the Look-Up
Table registers) and then programs REG[03h] bits [1:0] to 11b. This starts the power-up
sequence as shown. The power-up/power-down sequence delay is 127 frames. The LookUp Table registers may be programmed any time after REG[03h] bits[1:0] = 11b.
The power-up/power-down sequence also occurs when exiting/entering Software Power
Save Mode.

13.5 Turning Off BCLK Between Accesses
BCLK may be turned off (held low) between accesses if the following rules are observed:
1. BCLK must be turned off/on in a glitch free manner
2. BCLK must continue for a period equal to [8TBCLK + 12TMCLK] after the end of the
access (RDY# asserted or WAIT# deasserted).
3. BCLK must be present for at least one TBCLK before the start of an access.

1 Introduction
This guide demonstrates how to program the S1D13705 Embedded Memory Color LCD
Controller. The guide presents the basic concepts of the LCD controller and provides
methods to directly program the registers. It explains some of the advanced techniques used
and the special features of the S1D13705.
The guide also introduces the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), which is designed to
make programming the S1D13705 as easy as possible. Future S1D1370x products will
support the HAL allowing OEMs the ability to upgrade to future chips with relative ease.

2 Initialization
Prior to doing anything else with the S1D13705 the controller must be initialized. Initialization is the process of setting up the control registers to a known state in order to generate
proper display signals.

2.1 Display Buffer Location
Before we can perform the initialization we have to know where to find the S1D13705
display memory and control registers.
The S1D13705 contains 80 kilobytes of internal display memory. External support logic
must be employed to decode the starting address for this display memory in CPU address
space. On the S5U13705B00x PC platform evaluation boards the address is usually fixed
at F00000h. Alternatively the address can be set to D0000h.
The control registers are located by adding 1FFE0h (128 Kb less 32 bytes) to the base
memory address. Thus, on the typical PC platform, we access control register 0 at address
F1FFE0h. Control register 5 would be located at address F1FFE5, etc.

2.2 Register Values
This section describes the register settings and sequence of setting the registers. In addition
to these setting the Look-Up Table must be programmed with appropriate colors. Look-Up
Table setup is not covered here. See Section 4 on page 15 of this manual for Look-Up Table
programming details.
The following initialization, presented in table form, shows the sequences and values to set
the registers. The notes column comments the reason for the particular value being written.
This example writes to all the necessary registers. Initially, when the S1D13705 is powered
up, all registers, unless noted otherwise in the specification, are set to zero. This example
programs these registers to zero to establish a known state. In practice, it may be possible
to write to only a subset of the registers.
The example initializes a S1D13705 to control a panel with the following specifications:
• 320x240 color single passive LCD panel at 70Hz.
• Color Format 2, 8-bit data interface.
• 8 bit-per-pixel (256 colors).
• 6 MHz input clock (CLKI).

2.3 Frame Rate Calculation
Frame rate specifies the number of complete frame which are drawn on the display in one
second. Configuring a frame rate that is too high or too low adversely effects the quality of
the displayed image.
System configuration imposes certain non-variable limitations. For instance the width and
height of the display panel are fixed as is, typically, the input clock to the S1D13705. From
the following formula it is evident that the two variables the programmer can use to adjust
frame rate are horizontal and vertical non-display periods.

The following are the formulae for determining the frame rate of a panel. The formula for
a single passive or TFT panel is calculated as follows:
PCLK
FrameRate = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------( HDP + HNDP ) × ( VDP + VNDP )

for a dual passive panel the formula is:
PCLK
FrameRate = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------VDP
2 × ( HDP + HNDP ) ×  ------------ + VNDP
 2


where: PCLK
HDP
HNDP
VDP
VNDP

= Pixel clock (in Hz)
= Horizontal Display Period (in pixels)
= Horizontal Non-Display Period (in pixels)
= Vertical Display Period (in lines)
= Vertical Non-Display Period (in lines)

In addition to varying the HNDP and VNDP times we can also select divider values which
will reduce CLKi to one half, one quarter up to one eight of the CLKi value. The example
below is a portion of a ’C’ routine to calculate HNDP and VNDP from a desired frame rate.
for (int loop = 0; loop < 2; loop++)
{
for (VNDP = 2; VNDP < 0x3F; VNDP += 3)
{
// Solve for HNDP
HNDP = (PCLK / (FrameRate * (VDP + VNDP))) - HDP;
if ((HNDP >= 32) && (HNDP <= 280))
{
// Solve for VNDP.
VNDP = (PCLK / (FrameRate * (HDP + HNDP))) - VDP;
// If we have satisfied VNDP then we're done.
if ((VNDP >= 0) && (VNDP <= 0x3F))
goto DoneCalc;
}
}
// Divide ClkI and try again.
// (Reg[02] allows us to dived CLKI by 2)
PCLK /= 2;
}
// If we still can't hit the frame rate - throw an error.
if ((VNDP < 0) || (VNDP > 0x3F) || (HNDP < 32) || (HNDP > 280))
{
sprintf("ERROR: Unable to set the desired frame rate.\n");
exit(1);
}

This routine first performs a formula rearrangement so that HNDP or VNDP can be solved.
Start with VNDP set to a small value. Loop increasing VNDP and solving the equation for
HNDP until satisfactory HNDP and VNDP values are found. If no satisfactory values are
found then divide CLKI and repeat the process. If a satisfactory frame rate still can’t be
reached - return an error.
Note

Most passive (STN) panels are tolerant of nearly any combination of HNDP and VNDP
values, however panel specifications generally specify only a few lines of vertical nondisplay period. The S1D13705 is capable of generating a vertical non-display period of
up to sixty-three lines. This amount of VNDP is far too great a non-display period and
will likely degrade display quality. Similarly, setting a large HNDP value may cause a
degrade in image quality.
If possible the system should be designed such that VNDP values of 7 or less lines and
HNDP values of 20 or less characters can be selected.

3 Memory Models
The S1D13705 is capable of operating at four different color depths. For each color depth
the data format is packed pixel. S1D13705 packed pixel modes can range from one byte
containing eight adjacent pixels (1-bpp) to one byte containing just one pixel (8-bpp).
Packed pixel data may be envisioned as a stream of pixels. In this stream, pixels are packed
in adjacent to each other. If a pixel requires four bits then it will be located in the four most
significant bits of a byte. The pixel to the immediate right on the display will occupy the
lower four bits of the same byte. The next two pixels to the immediate right are located in
the following byte, etc.

3.1 1 Bit-Per-Pixel (2 Colors/Gray Shades)
1-bit pixels support two color/gray shades. In this memory format each byte of display
buffer contains eight adjacent pixels. Setting or resetting any pixel requires reading the
entire byte, masking out appropriate bits and, if necessary, setting bits to “1”.
When using a color panel the two colors are derived by indexing into positions 0 and 1 of
the Look-Up Table. If the first two LUT elements are set to black (RGB = 0 0 0) and white
(RGB = F F F) then each “0” bit of display memory will display as a black pixel and each
“1” bit will display as a white pixel. The two LUT entries can be set to any desired colors,
for instance red and green or cyan and yellow.
For monochrome panels the two displayed gray shades are generated by indexing into the
first two elements of the green component of the Look-Up Table (LUT). Thus, by manipulating the green LUT components we can set either of the two gray shades to any of sixteen
possible levels.

3.2 2 Bit-Per-Pixel (4 Colors/Gray Shades)
2-bit pixels support four color/gray shades. In this memory format each byte of display
buffer contains four adjacent pixels. Setting or resetting any pixel requires reading the
entire byte, masking out the appropriate bits and, if necessary, setting bits to “1”.
Color panels derive their four colors by indexing into positions 0 through 3 of the Look-Up
Table. These four LUT entries can be set to any of the 4096 possible color combinations.
Monochrome panels derive four gray shades by indexing into the first four elements of the
green component of the Look-Up Table. Any of the four LUT entries can be set to any of
the sixteen possible gray shades.

3.3 4 Bit-Per-Pixel (16 Colors/Gray Shades)
Four bit pixels support 16 color/gray shades. In this memory format each byte of display
buffer contains two adjacent pixels. Setting or resetting any pixel requires reading the entire
byte, masking out the upper or lower nibble (4 bits) and setting the appropriate bits to “1”.
Color panels can display up to sixteen colors simultaneously. These sixteen colors are
derived by indexing into the first sixteen elements of the Look-Up Table. Each of these
colors may be selected from the 4096 possible available colors.
On a monochrome panel the gray shades are generated by indexing into the first sixteen
green components of the LUT. Each of these sixteen possible gray shades can be adjusted
to any of the sixteen possible gray shades. For instance, one could program the first eight
green LUT entries to be 0 and the second green LUT entries to be FFh. This would result
in nibble values of 0 through 7 displaying as black and nibble values 8 through 0Fh
displaying as white.

3.4 Eight Bit-Per-Pixel (256 Colors)
In eight bit-per-pixel mode one byte of display buffer represents one pixel on the display.
At this color depth the read-modify-write cycles, required by the lessor pixel depths, are
eliminated.
When using a color panel, each byte of display memory acts as and index to one element
of the LUT. The displayed color is arrived at by taking the display memory value as an
index into the LUT.
Eight bit per pixel is not supported for monochrome display modes. The reason is that each
element of the LUT supports a 4-bit (sixteen value) level for red, green and blue. In
monochrome display modes on the green value is used to set the gray intensity. Thus we
have sixteen possible grey values but, because of the color
.

4 Look-Up Table (LUT)
This section is supplemental to the description of the Look-Up Table architecture found in
the S1D13705 Hardware Functional Specification. Covered here is a review of the LUT
registers, recommendations for the color and gray shade LUT values, and additional
programming considerations for the LUT. Refer to the S1D13705 Hardware Functional
Specification, document number X27A-A-001-xx for more detail.
The S1D13705 Look-Up Table consists of 256 indexed red/green/blue entries. Each entry
is 4 bits wide. Two registers, REG[15h] and REG[17h], control access to the LUT.
Each Look-Up Table entry consists of a red, green, and blue component. Each component
consisting of four bits, or sixteen intensity levels. Any Look-Up Table element can be
selected from a palette of 4096 (16x16x16) colors.
In color display modes, pixel values are used as an index to an RGB value stored in the
Look-Up Table. In monochrome modes, pixel values still index into the LUT, but only the
green component is used to determine display intensity.
The selected color depth determines how many index positions are used for image display.
For example at one bit-per-pixel (bpp) only index positions 0 and 1 of the Look-Up Table
are used. At 4-bpp the first 16 index positions of the Look-Up Table are used and at 8-bpp
all 256 Look-Up Table index positions are used.
The Look-Up Table mechanism itself consists of an index register and a data register. The
index, or address, register determines which element of the Look-Up Table will be
accessed. After setting the index the LUT may be read or written through the data register.
The first data element read or written is the red component of the entry. Subsequent
read/write operations access the green and then the blue elements of the Look-Up Table.
The S1D13705 LUT architecture is designed to provide a high degree of similarity in
operation to a standard VGA RAMDAC. However, there are two considerations which
must be kept in mind.
• The S1D13705 Look-Up Table has four bits (16 levels) of intensity per primary color.
The standard VGA RAMDAC has six bits (64 levels). This four to one difference must
be taken into consideration when converting from a VGA palette to a LUT palette. One
suggestion is to divide the VGA intensity level by four to arrive at the LUT intensity.
However, most applications specify the red, green and blue components as eight bit
intensities. To determine the appropriate S1D13705 Look-Up Table value we recommend using the four most significant bits.

LUT Address

The LUT address register selects which of the 256 LUT entries will be accessed. After three
successive reads/writes to the data register this register is automatically incremented to
point to the next address.

LUT Data

This register is where the 4-bit red/green/blue data value is written/read. Immediately after
setting the LUT index with register [15h] this register accesses the red element of the LookUp Table. With each successive write/read the internal bank select is incremented. Thus the
second access is from the green element and the third is from the blue element.
After the third access the LUT Address is incremented by one, then next access to this
register will be the red element of the next Look-Up Table index.

4.2 Look-Up Table Organization
4.2.1 Color Modes
1 bpp color

When the S1D13705 is configured for 1 bpp color mode, the LUT is limited to selecting
colors from the first two entries. The two LUT entries can be any two RGB values but are
typically set to black-and-white.
Each byte in the display buffer contains eight adjacent pixels. If a bit has a value of “0” then
the color in LUT 0 index is displayed. A bit value of “1” results in the color in LUT 1 index
being displayed.
The following table shows the recommended values for obtaining a black-and-white mode
while in 1 bpp on a color panel.

2 bpp color

When the S1D13705 is configured for 2 bpp color mode, the displayed colors are selected
from the first four entries of the Look-Up Table. The LUT entries may be set to any of the
4096 possible colors.
Each byte in the display buffer contains four adjacent pixels. If a bit combination has a
value of “00” then the color in LUT index 0 is displayed. A bit value of “01” results in the
color in LUT index 1 being displayed. Likewise the bit combination of “10” displays from
the third LUT entry and “11” displays a color from the fourth LUT entry.
The following table shows the example values for 2 bit-per-pixel display mode.

4 bpp color

When the S1D13705 is configured for 4 bpp color mode, the displayed colors are selected
from the first sixteen entries of the Look-Up Table. The LUT entries may be set to any of
the 4096 possible colors.
Each byte in the display buffer contains two adjacent pixels. If a nibble has a value of
“0000” then the color in LUT index 0 is displayed. A nibble value of “0001” results in the
color in LUT index 1 being displayed. The pattern continues to the nibble pattern of “1111”
which results in the sixteenth color of the Look-Up Table being displayed.
The following table shows the example values for 4 bit-per-pixel display mode. These
colors simulate the colors used by the sixteen color modes of a VGA.

8 bpp color

When the S1D13705 is configured for 8 bpp color mode the entire Look-Up Table is used
to display images. Each of the LUT entries may be set to any of the 4096 possible colors.
Each byte in the display buffer represents one pixels. The byte value is used directly as an
index into one of the 256 LUT entries. A display memory byte with a value of 00h will
display the color contained in the first Look-Up Table entry while a display memory byte
of FFh will display a color formed byte the two hundred and fifty sixth Look-Up Table
entry.
The following table depicts LUT values which approximate the VGA default 256 color
palette.

4.2.2 Gray Shade Modes
Gray shade modes are monochrome display modes. Monochrome display modes use the
Look-Up Table in a very similar fashion to the color modes. This most significant
difference is that the monochrome display modes use only the intensity of the green
element of the Look-Up Table to form the gray level.
One side effect of using only green for intensity selection is that in gray shade modes there
are only sixteen possible intensities. 8 bit-per-pixel is not supported for gray shade modes.
1 bpp gray shade

When the S1D13705 is configured for 1 bpp gray shade mode, the LUT is limited to
selecting colors from the first two green entries. The two LUT entries can be set to any of
sixteen possible intensities. Typically they would be set to 0h (black) and Fh (white).
Each byte in the display buffer contains eight adjacent pixels. If a bit has a value of “0” then
the color in the green LUT 0 index is displayed. A bit value of “1” results in the color in
green LUT 1 index being displayed.
The following table shows the recommended values 1 bpp gray shade display mode.

2 bpp gray shade

When the S1D13705 is configured for 2 bpp gray shade, the displayed colors are selected
from the first four green entries in the Look-Up Table. The remaining entries of the LUT
are unused. Each of the four entries can be set to any of the sixteen possible colors.
Each byte in the display buffer contains four adjacent pixels. If a bit combination has a
value of “00” then the intensity in the green LUT index 0 is displayed. A bit value of “01”
results in the intensity represented by the green in LUT index 1 being displayed. Likewise
the bit combination of “10” displays from the third LUT entry and “11” displays a from the
fourth LUT entry.

4 bpp gray shade

When the S1D13705 is configured for 4 bpp gray shade mode the displayed colors are
selected from the green values of the first sixteen entries of the Look-Up Table. Each of the
sixteen entries can be set to any of the sixteen possible intensity levels.
Each byte in the display buffer contains two adjacent pixels. If a nibble pattern is “0000”
then the green intensity of LUT index 0 is displayed. A nibble value of “0001” results in
the green intensity in LUT index 1 being displayed. The pattern continues to the nibble
pattern of “1111” which results in the sixteenth intensity of Look-Up Table being
displayed.
The following table shows the example values for 4 bit-per-pixel display mode.

5 Advanced Techniques
This section contains programming suggestions for the following:
• virtual display
• panning and scrolling
• split screen display

5.1 Virtual Display
Virtual display refers to the situation where the image to be viewed is larger than the
physical display. The difference can be in the horizontal, vertical or both dimensions. To
view the image, the display is used as a window into the display buffer. At any given time
only a portion of the image is visible. Panning and scrolling are used to view the full image.
The Memory Address Offset register determines the number of horizontal pixels in the
virtual image. The offset register can be used to specify from 0 to 255 additional words for
each scan line. At 1 bpp, 255 words span an additional 4,080 pixels. At 8 bpp, 255 words
span an additional 510 pixels.
The maximum vertical size of the virtual image is the result of dividing 81920 bytes of
display memory by the number of bytes on each line (i.e. at 1 bpp with a 320x240 panel set
for a virtual width of 640x480 there is enough memory for 1024 lines).
Figure 5-1: “Viewport Inside a Virtual Display,” depicts a typical use of a virtual display.
The display panel is 320x240 pixels, an image of 640x480 pixels can be viewed by
navigating a 320x240 pixel viewport around the image using panning and scrolling.

Memory Address Offset Register

REG[11h] forms an 8-bit value called the Memory Address Offset. This offset is the
number of additional words on each line of the display. If the offset is set to zero there is
no virtual width.
Note

This value does not represent the number of words to be shown on the display. The display width is set in the Horizontal Display Width register.

5.1.2 Examples
Example 1: In this example we go through the calculations to display a 640x480 image on a 320x240 panel at 2 bpp.

Step 1: Calculate the number of pixels per word for this color depth.
At 2 bpp each byte is comprised of 4 pixels, therefore each word contains 8 pixels.
pixels_per_word = 16 / bpp = 16 / 2 = 8
Step 2: Calculate the Memory Address Offset register value
We require a total of 640 pixels. The horizontal display register will account for 320 pixels,
this leaves 320 pixels for the Memory Address Offset register to account for.
offset = pixels / pixels_per_word = 320 / 8 = 40 = 28h
The Memory Address Offset register, REG[11h], will have to be set to 28h to satisfy the
above condition.

Example 2: From the above, what is the maximum number of lines our image can
contain?

Step 1: Calculate the number of bytes on each line.
bytes_per_line = pixels_per_line / pixels_per_byte = 640 / 4 = 160
Each line of the display requires 160 bytes.
Step 2: Calculate the number of lines the S1D13705 is capable of.
total_lines = memory / bytes_per_line = 81920 / 160 = 512
We can display a maximum of 512 lines. Our example image requires 480 lines so this
example can be done.

5.2 Panning and Scrolling
Panning and scrolling describe the operation of moving a physical display viewport about
a virtual image in order to view the entire image a portion at time. For example, after setting
up the previous example (virtual display) and drawing an image into it we would only be
able to view one quarter of the image. Panning and scrolling are used to reveal the rest of
the image.
Panning describes the horizontal (side to side) motion of the viewport. When panning to the
right the image in the viewport appears to slide to the left. When panning to the left the
image to appears to slide to the right. Scrolling describes the vertical (up and down) motion
of the viewport. Scrolling down causes the image to appear to slide up and scrolling up
causes the image to appear to slide down.
Both panning and scrolling are performed by modifying the start address register. The start
address registers in the S1D13705 are a word offset to the data to be displayed in the top
left corner of a frame. Changing the start address by one means a change on the display of
the number of pixels in one word. The number of pixels in word varies according to the
color depth. At 1 bit-per-pixel a word contains sixteen pixels. At 2 bit-per-pixel there are
eight pixels, at 4 bit-per-pixel there are four pixels and at 8 bit-per-pixel there is two pixels
in each word. The number of pixels in each word represent the finest step we can pan to the
left or right.
When portrait mode (see Hardware Rotation on page 37) is enabled the start address
registers become offsets to bytes. In this mode the step rate for the start address registers if
halved making for smoother panning.

Screen 1 Start Address Registers

These three registers form the seventeen bit screen 1 start address. Screen 1 is displayed
starting at the top left corner of the display.
In landscape mode these registers form the word offset to the first byte in display memory
to be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. Changing these registers by one will
shift the display image 2 to 16 pixels, depending on the current color depth.
In portrait mode these registers form the offset to the display memory byte where screen 1
will start displaying. Changing these registers in portrait mode will result in a shift of 1 to
8 pixels depending on the color depth.
Refer to Table 5-1: “Number of Pixels Panned Using Start Address” to see the minimum
number of pixels affected by a change of one to these registers

5.2.2 Examples
For the following examples we base our calculations on a 4 bit-per-pixel image displayed
on a 256w x 64h panel. We have set up a virtual size of 320w x 240h. Width is greater than
height so we are in landscape display mode. Refer to Section 2, “Initialization” on page 8
and Section 5.1, “Virtual Display” on page 25 for assistance with these settings.
These examples are shown using a C-like syntax.
Example 3: Panning (Right and Left)

To pan to the right increase the start address value by one. To pan to the left decrease the
start address value. Keep in mind that, with the exception of 8 bit-per-pixel portrait display
mode, the display will jump by more than one pixel as a result of changing the start address
registers.
Panning to the right.
StartWord = GetStartAddress();
StartWord ++;
SetStartAddress(StartWord);

Panning to the left.
StartWord = GetStartAddress();
StartWord --;
if (StartWord < 0)
StartWord = 0;
SetStartAddress(StartWord);

The routine GetStartAddress() is one which will read the start address registers and return
the start address as a long value. It would be written similar to:
long GetStartAddress()
{
return ((REG[10] & 1) * 65536) + (REG[0D] * 256) + (REG[0C]);
}

The routine SetStartAddress() break up its long integer argument into three register values
and store the values.
void SetStartAddress(long SA)
{
REG[0C] = SA
& 0xFF;
REG[0D] = (SA >> 8) & 0xFF;
Reg[10] = (SA >> 16) & 0xFF;
}

In this example code the notation REG[] refers to whatever mechanism is employed to
read/write the registers.

Example 4: Scrolling (Up and Down)

To scroll down, increase the value in the Screen 1 Display Start Address Register by the
number of words in one virtual scan line. To scroll up, decrease the value in the Screen 1
Display Start Address Register by the number of words in one virtual scan line. A virtual
scan line includes both the number of bytes required by the physical display and any extra
bytes that may be being used for creating a virtual width on the display.
The previous dimensions are still in effect for this example (i.e. 320w x 240h virtual size,
256h x 64w physical size at 4 bpp)
Step 1: Determine the number of words in one virtual scanline.
bytes_per_line = pixels_per_line / pixels_per_byte = 320 / 2 = 160
words_per_line = bytes_per_line / 2 = 160 /2 = 80
Step 2: Scroll up or down
To scroll up.
StartWord = GetStartAddress();
StartWord -= words_per_line;
if (StartWord < 0)
StartWord = 0;
SetStartAddress(StartWord);

To scroll down.
StartWord = GetStartAddress();
StartWord += words_per_line;
SetStartAddress(StartWord);
}

5.3 Split Screen
Occasionally the need arises to display two different but related images. Take, for example,
a game where the main play area requires rapid updates and game status, displayed at the
bottom of the screen, requires infrequent updates.
The Split Screen feature of the S1D13705 allows a programmer to setup a display in such
a manor. When correctly configured the programmer has only to update the main area on a
regular basis. Occasionally, as the need arises, the secondary area is updated.
The figure below illustrates how a 320x240 panel may be configured to have one image
displaying from scan line 0 to scan line 199 and image 2 displaying from scan line 200 to
scan line 239. Although this example picks specific values, the split between image 1 and
image 2 may occur at any line of the display.
Scan Line 0

Scan Line 199
Scan Line 200

Image 2

Screen 1 Vertical Size Registers = 199 lines

Figure 5-2: 320x240 Single Panel For Split Screen
In split screen operation “Image 1" is taken from the display memory location pointed to
by the Screen 1 Start Address registers and is always located at the top of the screen. “Image
2" is taken from the display memory location pointed to by the Screen 2 Start Address
registers. The line where “Image 1" end and “Image 2" begins is determined by the Screen
1 Vertical Size register.

5.3.1 Registers
Split screen operation is performed primarily by manipulating three register sets. Screen 1
Start Address and Screen 2 Start Address determine from where in display memory the first
and second images will be taken from. The Vertical Size registers determine how many
lines Screen 1 will use. The following is a description of the registers used to do split screen.

Screen 1 Vertical Size

These two registers form a ten bit value which determines the size of screen 1. When the
vertical size is equal to or greater than the physical number of lines being displayed there
is no visible effect on the display. When the vertical size value is less than the number of
physical display lines, operation is like this:
1. From the beginning of a frame to the number of lines indicated by vertical size the display data will come from the memory area pointed to by the Screen 1 Display Start
Address.
2. After vertical size lines have been displayed the system will begin displaying data
from the memory area pointed to by Screen 2 Display Start Address.
On thing that must be pointed out here is that Screen 1 memory is always displayed at the
top of the screen followed by screen 2 memory. This relationship holds true regardless of
where in display memory Screen 1 Start Address and Screen 2 Start Address are pointing.
For instance, Screen 2 Start Address may point to offset zero of display memory while
Screen 1 Start Address points to a location several thousand bytes higher. Screen 1 will still
be shown first on the display. While not particularly useful, it is even possible to set screen
1 and screen 2 to the same address.

Screen 2 Start Address Registers

These three registers form the seventeen bit Screen 2 Start Address. Screen 2 is always
displayed immediately following the screen 1 data and will begin at the left-most pixel on
a line. Keep in mind that if the Screen 1 Vertical Size is equal to or greater than the physical
display then Screen 2 will not be shown.
In landscape mode these registers form the word offset to the first byte in display memory
to be displayed. Changing these registers by one will shift the display image 2 to 16 pixels,
depending on the current color depth.
The S1D13705 does not support split screen operation in portrait mode. Screen 2 will never
be used if portrait mode is selected.
Refer to Table 5-1: “Number of Pixels Panned Using Start Address” to see the minimum
number of pixels affected by a change of one to these registers
Screen 1 Start Address registers, REG[0C], REG[0D] and REG[10] are discussed in

5.3.2 Examples
Example 5: Display 200 scanlines of image 1 and 40 scanlines of image 2. Image 2 is
located first (offset 0) in the display buffer followed immediately by image 1. Assume a 320x240 display and a color depth of 4 bpp.

1. Calculate the Screen 1Vertical Size register values.
vertical_size = 200 = C8h
Write the Vertical Size LSB, REG[12h], with C8h and Vertical Size MSB, REG[13h],
with a 00h.
2. Calculate the Screen 1 Start Word Address register values.
Screen 2 is located first in display memory, therefore we must calculate the number of
bytes taken up by the screen 2 data.
bytes_per_line = pixels_per_line / pixels_per_byte = 320 / 2 = 160
total bytes = bytes_per_line x lines = 160 x 40 = 6400.
Screen 2 requires 6400 bytes (0 to 6399) therefore the start address offset for screen 1
must be 6400 bytes. (6400 bytes = 3200 words = C80h words)
Set the Screen 1 Start Word Address MSB, REG[0Dh], to 0Ch and the Screen 1 Start
Word Address LSB, REG[0Ch], to 80h.
3. Calculate the Screen 2 Start Word Address register values.
Screen 2 display data is coming from the very beginning of the display buffer. All there is
to do here is ensure that both the LSB and MSB of the Screen 2 Start Word Address
registers are set to zero.

6 LCD Power Sequencing and Power Save Modes
6.1 LCD Power Sequencing
Correct power sequencing is required to prevent long term damage to LCD panels and to
avoid unsightly “lines” during power-up and power-down. Power Sequencing allows the
LCD power supply to discharge prior to shutting down the LCD logic signals.
Proper LCD power sequencing dictates there must be a time delay between the LCD power
being disabled and the LCD signals being shut down. During power-up the LCD signals
must be active prior to or when power is applied to the LCD. The time intervals vary
depending on the power supply design.
The S1D13705 performs automatic power sequencing in response to both software power
save (REG[03h]) or in response to a hardware power save. One frame after a power save
mode is set, the S1D13705 disables LCD power, and the LCD logic signals continue for
one hundred and twenty seven frames allowing the LCD power supply to completely
discharge. For most applications the internal power sequencing is the appropriate choice.
There may be situations where the internal time delay is insufficient to discharge the LCD
power supply before the LCD signals are shut down, or the delay is too long and the
designer wishes to shorten it. This section details the sequences to manually power-up and
power-down the LCD interface.

6.2 Registers

bit 1

Software
Power Save
bit 0

The LCD Power (LCDPWR) Override bit forces LCD power inactive one frame after being
toggled. As long as this bit is “1” LCD power will be disabled.
The Hardware Power Save Enable bit must be set in order to activate hardware power save
through GPIO0.
The Software Power Save bits set and reset the software power save mode. These bits are
set to “11” for normal operation and set to “00” for power save mode.
LCD logic signals to the display panel are active for 128 frames after setting either
hardware or software power save modes. Power sequencing override is performed by
setting the LCDPWR Override bit some time before setting a power save mode for power
off sequences. During power on sequences the power save mode is reset some time before
the LCDPWR Override is reset resulting in the LCD logic signals being active before
power is applied to the panel.

6.3 LCD Enable/Disable
The descriptions below cover manually powering the LCD panel up and down. Use the
sequences described in this section if the power supply connected to the panel requires
more than 127 frames to discharge on power-down, or if the panel requires starting the LCD
logic well in advance of enabling LCD power. Currently there are no known circumstances
where the LCD logic must be active well in advance of LCD power.
Note

If 127 frame period is to long, blank the display, then reprogram the Horizontal and Vertical sizes to produce a shorter frame period before using these methods.
Power On/Enable Sequence

The following is a sequence for manually powering-up an LCD panel if LCD power had to
be applied later than LCD logic.
1. Set REG[03h] bit 3 (LCDPWR Override) to “1”. This ensures that LCD power will be
held disabled.
2. Enable LCD logic. This is done by either setting the GPIO0 pin low to disable hardware power save mode and/or by setting REG[03h] bits 1-0 to “11” to disable software power save.
3. Count “x” Vertical Non-Display Periods (OPTIONAL).
“x” corresponds the length of time LCD logic must be enabled before LCD power-up,
converted to the equivalent vertical non-display periods. For example, at 72 HZ counting 36 non-display periods results in a one half second delay.
4. Set REG[03h] bit 3 to “0” to enable LCD Power.
Power Off/Disable Sequence

The following is a sequence for manually powering-down an LCD panel. These steps
would be used if the power supply discharge requirements are larger than the default 127
frames.
1. Set REG[03h] bit 3 (LCDPWR Override) to “1” which will disable LCD Power.
2. Count “x” Vertical Non-Display Periods.
“x” corresponds to the power supply discharge time converted to the equivalent vertical non-display periods. (see the previous example)
3. Disable the LCD logic by setting the software power save in REG[03h] or setting
hardware power save via GPIO0. Keep in mind that after setting the power save mode
there will be 127 frames before the LCD logic signals are disabled.

7 Hardware Rotation
7.1 Introduction To Hardware Rotation
Many of todays applications use the LCD panel in a portrait orientation (typically LCD
panels are landscape oriented). In this case it becomes necessary to “rotate” the displayed
image. This rotation can be done by software at the expense of performance or, as with the
S1D13705, it can be done by hardware with no performance penalty.
This discussion of display rotation is intended to augment the excellent description of the
hardware functionality found in the Hardware Functional Specification.
The S1D13705 supports two portrait modes: Default Portrait Mode and Alternate Portrait
Mode.

7.2 Default Portrait Mode
Default portrait mode was designed to reduce power consumption for portrait mode use.
The reduced power consumption comes with certain trade offs.
The most obvious difference between the two modes is that Default Portrait Mode requires
the portrait width be a power of two, e.g. a 240-line panel, used in portrait mode, requires
setting a virtual width of 256 pixels. Also default portrait mode is only capable of scrolling
the display in two line increments.
The benefits to using default portrait mode lies in the ability to use a slower input clock and
in reduced power consumption.
The following figure depicts the ways to envision memory layouts for the S1D13705 in
default portrait mode. This example uses a 320x240 panel.

From the programmers perspective the memory is laid out as shown on the left. The
programmer accesses memory exactly as for a panel of with the dimensions of 240x320

increasing from A->B and from B->C.
From a hardware perspective the S1D13705 always refreshes the LCD panel in the order
B->D and down to do A->C.

7.3 Alternate Portrait Mode
Alternate portrait mode does not impose the power of two line width. To rotated the image
on 240 line panel requires a portrait stride of 240 pixels. Alternate portrait mode is capable
of scrolling by one line at a time in response to changes to the Start Address Registers.
However, to achieve the same frame rate requires a 2 x faster input clock, therefore using
more power.
The following figure depicts the ways to envision memory layouts for the S1D13705 in
alternate portrait mode. This example also uses a 320x240 panel. Notice that in alternate
portrait mode the stride may be as little as 240 pixels.

From the programmers perspective the memory is laid out as shown on the left. The

The programmer sees memory addresses increasing from A->B and from B->C.
From a hardware perspective the S1D13705 always refreshes the LCD panel in the order
B->D and down to do A->C
The greatest factor in selecting alternate portrait mode over default portrait mode would be
for the ability to obtain an area of contiguous off screen memory. For example: A 640x480
panel in default portrait mode at two bit-per-pixel requires 81920 bytes (80 Kb). There is
unused memory but it is not contiguous. The same situation using alternate portrait mode
requires 76800 bytes leaving 5120 bytes of contiguous memory available to the application.
In fact the change in memory usage may make the difference between being able to run
certain panels in portrait mode or not being able to do so.

The Screen 1 Start Address registers must be set correctly for portrait mode. In portrait
mode the Start Address registers form a byte offset, as opposed to a word offset, into
display memory.
The initial required offset is the portrait mode stride (in bytes) less one.

The line byte count register informs the S1D13705 of the stride, in bytes, between two
consecutive lines of display in portrait mode. The Line Byte Count register only affects
portrait mode operation and are ignored when the S1D13705 is in landscape display mode.

The portrait mode register contains several items for portrait mode support.
The first is the Portrait Mode Enable bit. When this bit is “0” the S1D13705 is in landscape
mode and the remainder of the settings in this register as well as the Line Byte Count in
REG[1Ch] are ignored. Set this bit to “1” to enable portrait mode.

The portrait mode select bit selects between the “Default Mode” and the “Alternate Mode”.
Setting this bit to “0” selects the default portrait mode while setting this bit to “1” enables
the alternate portrait mode.
Portrait Mode Memory Clock Select is another power saving measure which can be enabled
if the final MCLK value is less than or equal to 25 MHz. Memory Clock Select results in
the S1D13705 temporarily increasing the memory clock circuitry on CPU access and
resuming the slower speed when the access is complete. This results in better performance
while using the least power.
In portrait display mode the CLKI (input clock) is routed to the portrait section of the
S1D13705 as CLK. From the CLK signal the MCLK value can be determined from table
8-8 of the Hardware Functional Specification, document number X27A-A-001-xx. If
MCLK is determined to be less than or equal to 25 MHz then Portrait Mode Memory Clock
Select may be enabled.

7.5 Limitations
The only limitation to using portrait mode on the S1D13705 is that split screen operation is
not supported.
A comparison of the two portrait modes is as follows:
Table 7-1: Default and Alternate Portrait Mode Comparison
Item

Default Portrait Mode

Alternate Portrait Mode

The width of the rotated image must be
a power of 2. In most cases, a virtual
image is required where the right-hand
side of the virtual image is unused and
memory is wasted. For example, a
Memory Requirements 320x480x4bpp image would normally Does not require a virtual image.
require only 76,800 bytes - possible
within the 80K byte address space, but
the virtual image is 512x480x4bpp
which needs 122,880 bytes - not
possible.

CLK need only be as fast as the
required PCLK.

MCLK, and hence CLK, need to be 2x
PCLK. For example, if the panel requires a
3MHz PCLK, then CLK must be 6MHz.
Note that 25MHz is the maximum CLK, so
PCLK cannot be higher than 12.5MHz in
this mode.

Power Consumption

Lowest power consumption.

Higher than Default Mode.

Panning

Vertical panning in 2 line increments.

Vertical panning in 1 line increments.

Performance

Nominal performance. Note that
performance can be increased by
increasing CLK and setting MCLK =
CLK (REG[1Bh] bit 2 = 1).

Higher performance than Default Mode.
Note that performance can be increased by
increasing CLK and setting MCLK = CLK
(REG[1Bh] bit 2 = 1).

7.6 Examples
Example 6: Enable default portrait mode for a 320x240 panel at 4 bpp.

Before switching to portrait mode from landscape mode, display memory should be cleared
to make the user perceived transition smoother. Images in display memory are not rotated
automatically by hardware and a garbled image would be visible for a short period of time
if video memory is not cleared.
If alternate portrait is used then the CLK signal is divided in half to get the PCLK signal. If
the Input Clock Divide bit, in register[02] is set we can simply reset the divider. The result
of this is a PCLK of exactly the same frequency as we used for landscape mode and we can
use the current horizontal and vertical non-display periods. If the Input Clock Divide bit is
not set then we must recalculate the frame rate based on the a PCLK value. In this example
we will bypass recalculation of the horizontal and vertical non-display times (frame rate)
by selecting the default portrait mode scheme.
1. Calculate and set the Screen 1 Start Word Address register.
OffsetBytes = (Width x BitsPerPixel / 8) - 1 = (256 x 4 / 8) -1 = 127 = 007Fh
(“Width” is the width of the portrait mode display - in this case the next power of two
greater than 240 pixels or 256.)
Set Screen1 Display Start Word Address LSB (REG [0Ch]) to 7Fh and Screen1 Display Start Word Address MSB (REG[0Dh]) to 00h.
2. Calculate the Line Byte Count
The Line Byte Count also must be based on the power of two width.
LineByteCount = Width x BitsPerPixel / 8 = 256 x 4 / 8 = 128 = 80h.
Set the Line Byte Count (REG[1C]) to 80h.
3. Enable portrait mode.
This example uses the default portrait mode scheme. If we do not change the Portrait
Mode Pixel Clock Select bits then we will not have to recalculate the non-display timings to correct the frame rate.
Write 80h to the Portrait Mode Register (REG[1Bh]).
The display is now configured for portrait mode use. Offset zero into display memory will
corresponds to the upper left corner of the display. The only item to keep in mind is that the
count from the first pixel of one line to the first pixel of the next line (referred to as the
“stride”) is 128 bytes.

Example 7: Enable alternate portrait mode for a 320x240 panel at 4 bpp.
Note

As we have to perform a frame rate calculation for this mode we need to know the following panel characteristics: 320x240 8-bit color to be run at 80 Hz with a 16 MHz input clock.
As in the previous example, before switching to portrait mode, display memory should be
cleared. Images in display memory are not rotated automatically by hardware and the
garbled image would be visible for a short period of time if video memory is not cleared.
1. Calculate and set the Screen 1 Start Word Address register.
OffsetBytes = (Width x BitsPerPixel / 8) - 1 = (240 x 4 / 8) - 1 = 119 = 0077h
Set Screen1 Display Start Word Address LSB (REG [0Ch]) to 77h and Screen1 Display Start Word Address MSB (REG[0Dh]) to 00h.
2. Calculate the Line Byte Count.
LineByteCount = Width x BitsPerPixel / 8 = 240 x 4 / 8 = 120 = 78h.
Set the Line Byte Count (REG[1C]) to 78h.
3. Enable portrait mode.
This example uses the alternate portrait mode scheme. We will not change the MCLK
Autoswitch or Pixel Clock Select settings.
Write C0h to the Portrait Mode register (REG[1Bh])
4. Recalculate the frame rate dependents.
This example assumes the alternate portrait mode scheme. In this scheme, without touching
the Pixel Clock Select bits the PCLK value will be equal to CLK/2.
These examples don’t use the Pixel Clock Select bits. The ability to divide the PCLK value
down further than the default values was added to the S1D13705 to support hardware
portrait mode on very small panels.
The Pixel Clock value has changed so we must calculate horizontal and vertical non-display
times to reach the desired frame rate. Rather than perform the frame rate calculations here
I will refer the reader to the frame rate calculations in Frame Rate Calculation on page 9
and simply “arrive” at the following:
Horizontal Non-Display Period = 88h
Vertical Non-Display Period = 03h
Plugging the values into the frame rate calculations yields:

PCLK
FrameRate = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------( HDP + HNDP ) × ( VDP + VNDP )
16, 000, 000
-----------------------------2
FrameRate = ------------------------------------------------------- = 80.69
( 320 + 88 ) × ( 240 + 3 )

For this example the Horizontal Non-Display register [REG[08h]) needs to be set to 07h
and the Vertical Non-Display register (REG[0Ah]) needs to be set to 03h.
The 16,000,000/2 in the formula above represents the input clock being divided by two
when this alternate portrait mode is selected. With the values given for this example we
must ensure the Input Clock Divide bit (REG[02h] b4) is reset (with the given values it was
likely set as a result of the frame rate calculations for landscape display mode).
No other registers need to be altered.
The display is now configured for portrait mode use. Offset zero of display memory corresponds to the upper left corner of the display. Display memory is accessed exactly as it was
for landscape mode.
As this is the alternate portrait mode the power of two stride issue encountered with the
default portrait mode is no longer an issue. The stride is the same as the portrait mode width.
In this case 120 bytes.

Example 8: Pan the above portrait mode image to the right by 4 pixels then scroll it
up by 6 pixels.

To pan by four pixels the start address needs to be advanced.
1. Calculate the number of bytes to change start address by.
Bytes = Pixels x BitsPerPixel / 8 = 4 x 4 / 8 = 2 bytes
2. Increment the start address registers by the just calculated value.
In this case the value write to the start address register will be 81h (7Fh + 2 = 81h)
To scroll by 4 lines we have to change the start address by the offset of four lines of display.
1. Calculate the number of bytes to change start address by.
BytesPerLine = LineByteCount = 128
Bytes = Lines x BytesPerLine = 4 x 128 = 512 = 200h
2. Increment the start address registers by the just calculated value
In this case 281h (81h + 200h) will be written to the Screen 1 Start Address register
set.
Set Screen1 Display Start Word Address LSB (REG[0Ch]) to 81h and Screen1 Display Start Word Address MSB (REG[0Dh]) to 02h.

8 Identifying the S1D13705
There are several similar products in the 135X and 137X LCD controller families. Products
which can share significant portions of a generic code base. It may be important for a
program to identify between products at run time.
Identification of the S1D13705 can be performed any time after the system has been
powered up by reading REG[00h], the Revision Code register. The six most significant bits
form the product identification code and the two least significant bits form the product
revision.
From reset (power on) the steps to identifying the S1D13705 are as follows:
1. Read REG[00h]. Mask off the lower two bits, the revision code, to obtain the product
code.
2. The product code for the S1D13705 is 024h.

9 Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
9.1 Introduction
The HAL is a processor independent programming library provided by Epson. The HAL
was developed to aid the implementation of internal test programs, and provides an easy,
consistent method of programming the S1D13705 on different processor platforms. The
HAL also allows for easier porting of programs between S1D1370X products. Integral to
the HAL is an information structure (HAL_STRUCT) that contains configuration data on
clocks, display modes, and default register values. This structure combined with the utility
13705CFG.EXE allows quick customization of a program for a new target display or
environment.
Using the HAL keeps sample code simpler, although some programmers may find the HAL
functions to be limited in their scope, and may wish to program the S1D13705 without
using the HAL.

9.2 Contents of the HAL_STRUCT
The HAL_STRUCT below is contained in the file “hal.h” and is required to use the HAL library.
typedef struct tagHalStruct
{
char szIdString[16];
WORD wDetectEndian;
WORD wSize;
BYTE Regs [MAX_REG + 1];
DWORD dwClkI;
/* Input Clock Frequency (in kHz) */
DWORD dwDispMem;
/* Starting address of display buffer memory */
WORD wFrameRate;
/* Desired panel frame rate */
} HAL_STRUCT;

Within the Regs array ia a structure which defines all the registers described in the
S1D13705 Hardware Functional Specification, document number X27A-A-001-xx. Using
the 13705CFG.EXE utility you can adjust the content of the registers contained in
HAL_STRUCT to allow for different LCD panel timing values and other default settings
used by the HAL. In the simplest case, the program only calls a few basic HAL functions
and the contents of the HAL_STRUCT are used to setup the S1D13705 for operation.

9.3 Using the HAL library
To utilize the HAL library, the programmer must include two “.h” files in their code.
“Hal.h” contains the HAL library function prototypes and structure definitions, and
“appcfg.h” contains the instance of the HAL_STRUCT that is defined in “Hal.h” and
configured by 13705CFG.EXE. For a more thorough example of using the HAL see
Section 10.1, “Sample code using the S1D13705 HAL API” on page 66.
Note

Many of the HAL library functions have pointers as parameters. The programmer
should be aware that little validation of these pointers is performed, so it is up to the
programmer to ensure that they adhere to the interface and use valid pointers.
Programmers are recommended to use the highest warning levels of their compiler in
order to verify the parameter types.

9.4 API for 13705HAL

9.4.1 Initialization
The following section describes the HAL functions dealing with S1D13705 initialization.
Typically a programmer has only to concern themselves with calls to seRegisterDevice()
and seSetInit().

int seRegisterDevice(const LPHAL_STRUC lpHalInfo)
Description:

This function registers the S1D13705 device parameters with the HAL library. The
device parameters include address range, register values, desired frame rate, etc.,
and are stored in the HAL_STRUCT structure pointed to by lpHalInfo. Additionally
this routine allocates system memory as address space for accessing registers and the
display buffer.

Parameters:

lpHalInfo

- pointer to HAL_STRUCT information structure

Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems
ERR_UNKNOWN_DEVICE - the HAL was unable to find an S1D13705.
Note

seRegisterDevice() MUST be called before any other HAL functions.
No S1D13705 registers are changed by calling seRegisterDevice().

seSetInit()
Description:

Configures the S1D13705 for operation. This function sets all the S1D13705 control
registers to their default values.
Initialization of the S1D13705 is a two step process to accommodate those programs
(e.g. 13705PLAY.EXE) which do not initialize the S1D13705 on start-up.

Parameters:

None

Return Value: ERR_OK

- operation completed with no problems

Note

After this call the Look-Up Table will be set to a default state appropriate to the display
type.
Unlike S1D1350x HAL versions, this function does not call seSetDisplayMode as this
function does not exist in the 13705 HAL.

9.4.2 General HAL Support
Functions in this group do not fit into any specific category of support. They provide a
miscellaneous range of support for working with the S1D13705

int seGetId(int * pId)
Description:

Reads the S1D13705 revision code register to determine the chip product and
revisions. The interpreted value is returned in pID.

Parameters:

pId

- pointer to an integer which will receive the controller ID.
S1D13705 values returned in pID are:
- ID_S1D13705_REV0
- ID_UNKNOWN

Other HAL libraries will return their respective controller IDs upon detection of
their controller.
Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems
ERR_UNKNOWN_DEVICE - the HAL was unable to identify the display
controller. Returned when pID returns ID_UNKNOWN.

void seGetHalVersion(const char ** pVersion, const char ** pStatus,
const char **pStatusRevision)
Description:

Retrieves the HAL library version. The return pointers are all to ASCII strings. A
typical return would be: *pVersion == “1.01” (HAL version 1.01),*pStatus == “B”
(The 'B' is the beta designator), *pStatusRevision == “5”. The programmer need
only create pointers of const char type to pass as parameters (see Example below).

Parameters:

pVersion

- Pointer to string to return the version in.
- must point to an allocated string of size VER_SIZE
pStatus
- Pointer to a string to return the release status in.
- must point to an allocated string of size STATUS_SIZE
pStatusRevision - Pointer to return the current revision of status.
- must point to an allocated string of size STAT_REV_SIZE

Return Value: None
Example:

S1D13705
X27A-G-002-03

const char *pVersion, *pStatus, *pStatusRevision;
seGetHalVersion( &pVersion, &pStatus, &pStatusRevision);

int seSetBitsPerPixel(int BitsPerPixel)
Description:

This routine sets the display color depth.
After performing validity checks to ensure the requested video mode can be set the
appropriate registers are changed and the Look-Up Table is set its default values
appropriate to the color depth.
This call is similar to a mode set call on a standard VGA.

Parameter:

BitsPerPixel - desired color depth in bits per pixel.
- Valid arguments are: 1, 2, 4, and 8.

Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems
ERR_FAILED- possible causes for this error include:
1) the desired frame rate may not be attainable with the specified input clock
2) the combination of width, height and color depth may require more memory than
is available on the S1D13705.

int seGetBitsPerPixel(int * pBitsPerPixel)
Description:

This function reads the S1D13705 registers to determine the current color depth and
returns the result in pBitsPerPixel.

Parameters:

pBitsPerPixel - pointer to an integer to receive current color depth.
- return values will be: 1, 2, 4, or 8.

Return Value: ERR_OK

- operation completed with no problems

int seGetBytesPerScanline(int * pBytes)
Description:

Determines the number of bytes per scan line of current display mode. It is assumed
that the registers have already been correctly initialized before seGetBytesPerScanline() is called (i.e. after initializing the HAL, setting the Display mode and
adjusting the bits per pixel or other values).
The number of bytes per scanline will include non-displayed bytes if the screen
width is greater the display width, or in Default Portrait Mode.

Parameters:

pBytes

- pointer to an integer to receive the number of bytes per scan line

Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems

int seGetScreenSize(int * Width, int * Height)
Description:

Retrieves the width and height in pixels of the display surface. The width and height
are derived by reading the horizontal and vertical size registers and calculating the
dimensions. Virtual dimensions are not taken into account for this calculation.
When the display is in portrait mode the dimensions will be swapped. (i.e. a 640x480
display in portrait mode will return a width of 480 and height of 640).

Parameters:

Width
Height

Return value: ERR_OK

- pointer to an integer to receive the display width
- pointer to an integer to receive the display height
- the operation completed successfully

int seDelay(int MilliSeconds)
Description:

This function will delay for the length of time specified in “MilliSeconds” before
returning to the caller.
This function was originally intended for non-PC platforms. Information about how
to access the timers was not always available however we do know frame rate and
can use that for timing calculations.
The S1D13705 registers must be initialized for this function to work correctly. On
the PC platform this is simply a call to the C timing functions and is therefore
independent of the register settings.

Parameters:

MilliSeconds- time to delay in seconds

Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems
ERR_FAILED- returned on non-PC platforms when the S1D13705 registers have
not bee initialized

int seGetLastUsableByte(long * plLastByte)
Description:

This functions returns a pointer, as a long integer, to the last byte of usable display
memory.
The returned value never changes for the S1D13705.

Parameters:

plLastByte - pointer to a long integer to receive the offset to the last byte of
display memory

Return Value: ERR_OK

int seSetHighPerformance(BOOL OnOff)
Description:

This function call enables or disable the high performance bit of the S1D13705.
When high performance is enabled then MClk equals PClk for all video display
resolutions. In the high performance state CPU to video memory performance is
improved at the cost of higher power consumption.
When high performance is disabled then MClk ranges from PClk/1 at 8 bit-per-pixel
to PClk/8 at 1 bit-per-pixel. Without high performance CPU to video memory
speeds are slower and the S1D13705 uses less power.

Parameters:

OnOff

Return Value: ERR_OK

- a boolean value (defined in HAL.H) to indicate whether to
enable of disable high performance.
- operation completed with no problems

9.4.3 Advanced HAL Functions
Advanced HAL functions include the functions to support split, virtual and rotated
displays. While the concept for using these features is advanced the HAL makes actually
using them easy.
int seSetPortraitMethod( int Style )
Description:

This selects the portrait mode method to be used when seSetHWRotate() is called to
put the S1D13705 into portrait mode.

Parameters:

Style

- call with style set to DEFAULT (-1) to select Default Portrait Mode
- call with style set to any other value to select Alternate Portrait Mode.

Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems
ERR_FAILED - the operation failed.

int seSetHWRotate(int Rotate)
Description:

This function sets the rotation scheme according to the value of 'Rotate'. When
portrait mode is selected as the display rotation the scheme selected is the 'non-X2'
scheme.

Parameters:

Rotate

- the direction to rotate the display
- Valid arguments for Rotate are: LANDSCAPE and PORTRAIT.

Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems
ERR_FAILED - the operation failed to complete.
The most likely reason for failing to set a rotate mode is an inability to set the desired
frame rate when setting portrait mode. Other factors which can cause a failure
include having a 0 Hz frame rate or specifying a value other than LANDSCAPE or
PORTRAIT for the rotation scheme.

int seSplitInit(WORD Scrn1Addr, WORD Scrn2Addr)
Description:

This function prepares the system for split screen operation. In order for split screen
to function the starting address in the display buffer for the upper portion(screen 1)
and the lower portion (screen 2) must be specified. Screen 1 is always displayed
above screen 2 on the display regardless of the location of their start addresses.

Parameters:

Scrn1Addr - offset, in bytes, to the start of screen 1
Scrn2Addr - offset, in bytes, to the start of screen 2

Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems
Note

It is assumed that the system has been initialized prior to calling seSplitInit().

int seSplitScreen(int Screen, int VisibleScanlines)
Description:

Changes the relevant registers to adjust the split screen according to the number of
visible lines requested. 'WhichScreen' determines which screen, 1 or 2, to base the
changes on.
The smallest surface screen 1 can display is one line. This is due to the way the
S1D13705 operates. Setting Screen 1 Vertical Size to zero results in one line of
screen 1 being displayed. The remainder of the display will be screen 2 image.

Parameters:

Screen
- must be set to 1 or 2 (or use the constants SCREEN1 or SCREEN2)
VisibleScanlines- number of lines to display for the selected screen

Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems
ERR_HAL_BAD_ARG- argument VisibleScanlines is negative or is greater than
vertical panel size or WhichScreen is not SCREEN1 or SCREEN 2.
Note

Changing the number of lines for one screen will also change the number of lines for the
other screen.
seSplitInit() must be called before calling seSplitScreen().

int seVirtInit(DWORD VirtX, DWORD * VirtY)
Description:

This function prepares the system for virtual screen operation. The programmer
passes the desired virtual width in pixels. When the routine returns VirtY will contain
the maximum number of line that can be displayed at the requested virtual width.

Parameter:

VirtX
VirtY

- horizontal size of virtual display in pixels.
(Must be greater or equal to physical size of display)
- pointer to an integer to receive the maximum number of displayable
lines of 'VirtX' width.

Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems
ERR_HAL_BAD_ARG - returned in three situations:
1) the virtual width (VirtX) is greater than the largest possible width
(VirtX varies with color depth and ranges from 4096 pixels wider
than the panel at 1 bit-per-pixel down to 512 pixels wider than the
panel at 8 bit-per-pixel)
2) the virtual width is less than the physical width or
3) the maximum number of lines becomes less than the physical
number of lines
Note

The system must have been initialized prior to calling seVirtInit()

int seVirtMove(int Screen, int x, int y)
Description:

This routine pans and scrolls the display. In the case where split screen operation is
being used, the Screen argument specifies which screen to move. The x and y parameters specify, in pixels, the starting location in the virtual image for the top left
corner of the applicable display.

Parameter:

Screen
x
y

- must be set to 1 or 2, or use the constants SCREEN1 or SCREEN2,
to identify which screen to base calculations on
- new starting X position in pixels
- new starting Y position in pixels

Return Value: ERR_OK - operation completed with no problems
ERR_HAL_BAD_ARG- there are several reasons for this return value:
1) WhichScreen is not SCREEN1 or SCREEN2.
2) the y argument is greater than the last available line less the screen height.
Note

seVirtInit() must be been called before calling seVirtMove().

9.5 Porting LIBSE to a new target platform
Building Epson Research and Development applications like a simple HelloApp for a new
target platform requires 3 things, the HelloApp code, the 13705HAL library, and a some
standard C functions (portable ones are encapsulated in our mini C library LIBSE).

HelloApp Source code
HelloApp

C Library Functions (LIBSE for embedded platforms)
13705HAL Library

Components needed to build 13705 HAL application
For example, when building HELLOAPP.EXE for the Intel 16-bit platform, you need the
HELLOAPP source files, the 13705HAL library and its include files, and some Standard C
library functions (which in this case would be supplied by the compiler as part of its runtime library). As this is a DOS .EXE application, you do not need to supply start-up code
that sets up the chip selects or interrupts, etc... What if you wanted to build the application
for an SH-3 target, one not running DOS?
Before you can build that application to load onto the target, you need to build a C library
for the target that contains enough of the Standard C functions (like sprintf and strcpy) to
let you build the application. Epson Research and Development supplies the LIBSE for this
purpose, but your compiler may come with one included. You also need to build the
13705HAL library for the target. This library is the graphics chip dependent portion of the
code. Finally, you need to build the final application, linked together with the libraries
described earlier. The following examples assume that you have a copy of the complete
source code for the S1D13705 utilities, including the nmake makefiles, as well as a copy of
the GNU Compiler v2.7-96q3a for Hitachi SH3. These are available on the World Wide
Web at http://www.erd.epson.com.

9.5.1 Building the LIBSE library for SH3 target example
In the LIBSE files, there are three main types of files:
• C files that contain the library functions.
• assembler files that contain the target specific code.
• makefiles that describe the build process to construct the library.
The C files are generic to all platforms, although there are some customizations for targets
in the form of #ifdef LCEVBSH3 code (the ifdef used for the example SH3 target Low Cost
Eval Board SH3). The majority of this code remains constant whichever target you build
for.
The assembler files contain some platform setup code (stacks, chip selects) and jumps into
the main entry point of the C code that is contained in the C file entry.c. For our example,
the assembler file is STARTSH3.S and it performs only some stack setup and a jump into
the code at _mainEntry (entry.c).
In the embedded targets, printf (in file rprintf.c), putchar (putchar.c) and getch (kb.c)
resolve to serial character input/output. For SH3, much of the detail of handling serial IO
is hidden in the monitor of the evaluation board, but in general the primitives are fairly
straight forward, providing the ability to get characters to/from the serial port.
For our target example, the nmake makefile is makesh3.mk. This makefile calls the Gnu
compiler at a specific location (TOOLDIR), enumerates the list of files that go into the
target and builds a .a library file as the output of the build process.
With nmake.exe in your path run:
nmake -fmakesh3.mk

9.5.2 Building the HAL library for the target example
Building the HAL for the target example is less complex because the code is written in C
and requires little platform specific adjustment. The nmake makefile for our example is
makesh3.mk.This makefile contains the rules for building sh3 objects, the files list for the
library and the library creation rules. The Gnu compiler tools are pointed to by TOOLDIR.
With nmake in your path run:
nmake -fmakesh3.mk

Included in the sample code section are two examples of programing the S1D13705. The
first sample uses the HAL to draw a red square, wait for user input then rotates to portrait
mode and draws a blue square. The second sample code performs the same procedures but
directly accesses the registers of the S1D13705. These code samples are for example

13705CFG
13705CFG is an interactive Windows® program that calculates register values for a userdefined S1D13705 configuration. The configuration information can be used to directly
alter the operating characteristics of the S1D13705 utilities or any program built with the
Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) library. Alternatively, the configuration information
can be saved in a variety of text file formats for use in other applications.
Note

This program is a Windows desktop application suitable for configuring software for a
given implementation of an Epson LCD controller. However, it is not a display driver
for any Windows desktop operating system. Epson does not provide display drivers for
any of the Windows desktop operating systems.

S1D13705 Supported Evaluation Platforms
13705CFG runs on PC system running Windows 9x/ME/XP/NT/2000 and can modify
Win32 .exe files.

Installation
Create a directory for 13705cfg.exe and the S1D13705 utilities. Copy the files
13705cfg.exe and panels.def to that directory. Panels.def contains configuration information for a number of panels and must reside in the same directory as 13705cfg.exe.

Usage
To start 13705CFG from the Windows desktop, double-click on the My Computer icon and
run the program 13705cfg.exe from the installed directory.
To start 13705CFG from a Windows command prompt, change to the directory
13705cfg.exe was installed to and type the command 13705cfg.
The basic procedure for using 13705CFG is:
1. Start 13705CFG as described above.
2. Open an existing file to serve as a starting reference point (this step is optional).
3. Modify the configuration. For specific information on editing the configuration, see
“13705CFG Configuration Tabs” on page 7.
4. Save the new configuration. The configuration information can be saved in two ways;
as an ASCII text file or by modifying an executable image on disk.
Several ASCII text file formats are supported. Most are formatted C header files used
to build display drivers or standalone applications.
Utility files based on the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) can be modified directly
by 13705CFG.

13705CFG Configuration Tabs
13705CFG provides a series of tabs which can be selected at the top of the main window.
Each tab allows the configuration of a specific aspect of S1D13705 operation.
The tabs are labeled “General”, “Preference”, “Clocks”, “Panel”, “Panel Power”, and
“Registers”. The following sections describe the purpose and use of each of the tabs.

General Tab

Decode Addresses

Register Address

Display Buffer Address

The General tab contains S1D13705 evaluation board specific information. The values
presented are used for configuring HAL based executable utilities. The settings on this tab
specify where in CPU address space the registers and display buffer are located.

Decode Addresses

Selecting one of the listed evaluation platforms changes
the values for the “Register address” and “Display
buffer address” fields. The values used for each evaluation platform are examples of possible implementations as used by the Epson S1D13705 evaluation board.
If your hardware implementation differs from the
addresses used, select the User-Defined option and
enter the correct addresses for “Register address” and
“Display buffer address”.

Register Address

The physical address of the start of register decode
space (in hexadecimal).
This field is automatically set according to the Decode
Address unless the “User-Defined” decode address is
selected.

Display Buffer Address

The physical address of the start of display buffer
decode space (in hexadecimal).
This field is automatically set according to the Decode
Address unless the “User-Defined” decode address is
selected.

Note

When “Epson S5U13705B00C Rev. 2 Evaluation Board” is selected, the register and
display buffer addresses are blanked because the evaluation board uses the PCI interface
and the decode addresses are determined by the system BIOS during boot-up.
If using the S1D13705 Evaluation Board on a PCI based platform, both Windows and
the S1D13XXX device driver must be installed. For further information on the
S1D13XXX device driver, see the S1D13XXX Windows 32-bit Windows Device Driver
Installation Guide, document number X00A-E-003-xx.

The Preference tab contains settings pertaining to the initial display state. During runtime
these settings may be changed.
Color Depth

Sets the initial color depth on the LCD panel.

Panel SwivelView

The S1D13705 SwivelView feature is capable of
rotating the image displayed on an LCD panel 90° in a
counter-clockwise direction. This sets the initial orientation of the panel. The SwivelView feature can be run
in two different modes. Default mode requires a virtual
display which requires more memory but uses less
power.

the selection boxes. If the width/height of your panel is
not listed, enter the actual panel dimensions into the edit
field.
Manually entered pixel widths must be multiples of 8.
If a value is entered that does not match these requirements, a notification box appears and 13705CFG
rounds up the value to the next allowable width.

Non-Display Periods

It is recommended that these automatically generated
non-display values be used without adjustment.
However, manual adjustment may be useful in fine
tuning the non-display width and non-display height.

Timings

These settings show the Frame Rate and Pixel Clock
timings.

Frame Rate

This field displays the effective frame rate of the LCD
panel. Panel dimensions are fixed therefore frame rate
can only be adjusted by changing either PCLK or nondisplay period values. Higher frame rates correspond to
smaller horizontal and vertical non-display values, or
higher PCLK frequencies.

Pixel Clock

The pixel clock used for the LCD panel is displayed in
this field. The pixel clock is dependent on the CLKI
frequency.

TFT/FPLINE
Start Pos

Specifies the delay (in pixels) from the start of the
horizontal non-display period to the leading edge of the
FPLINE pulse. This setting is only available when the
selected panel type is TFT.
Refer to S1D13705 Hardware Functional Specification, document number X27A-A-001-xx for a
complete description of the FPLINE pulse settings.

Note

Manual changes to the registers may have unpredictable results if incorrect values are
entered.

13705CFG Menus
The following sections describe each of the options in the File and Help menus.

Open...
From the Menu Bar, select “File”, then “Open...” to display the Open File Dialog Box.

The Open option allows 13705CFG to open files containing HAL configuration information. When 13705CFG opens a file it scans the file for an identification string, and if
found, reads the configuration information. This may be used to quickly arrive at a starting
point for register configuration. The only requirement is that the file being opened must
contain a valid S1D13705 HAL library information block.
13705CFG supports a variety of executable file formats. Select the file type(s) 13705CFG
should display in the Files of Type drop-down list and then select the filename from the list
and click on the Open button.
Note

13705CFG is designed to work with utilities programmed using a given version of the
HAL. If the configuration structure contained in the executable file differs from the version 13705CFG expects the Open will fail and an error message is displayed. This may
happen if the version of 13705CFG is substantially older, or newer, than the file being
opened.

Save
From the Menu Bar, select “File”, then “Save” to initiate the save action. The Save menu
option allows a fast save of the configuration information to a file that was opened with the
Open menu option.
Note

This option is only available once a file has been opened.
Note

13705cfg.exe can be configured by making a copy of the file 13705cfg.exe and configuring the copy. It is not possible to configure the original while it is running.

Save As...
From the Menu Bar, select “File”, then “Save As...” to display the Save As Dialog Box.

“Save as” is very similar to Save except a dialog box is displayed allowing the user to name
the file before saving.
Using this technique a tester can configure a number of files differing only in configuration
information and name (e.g. BMP60Hz.EXE, BMP72Hz.EXE, BMP75Hz.EXE where only
the frame rate changes in each of these files).
Note

When “Save As” is selected then an exact duplicate of the file as opened by the “Open”
option is created containing the new configuration information.

Configure Multiple
After determining the desired configuration, “Configure Multiple” allows the information
to be saved into one or more executable files built with the HAL library.
From the Menu Bar, select “File”, then “Configure Multiple” to display the Configure
Multiple Dialog Box.This dialog box is also displayed when a file(s) is dragged onto the
13705CFG window.

The left pane lists files available for configuration; the right pane lists files that have been
selected for configuration. Files can be selected by clicking the “Add” or “Add All”
buttons, double clicking any file in the left pane, or by dragging the file(s) from Windows
Explorer.
Selecting “Show all files” displays all files in the selected directory, whereas selecting
“Show conf. files only” will display only files that can be configured using 13705CFG.
The configuration values can be saved only to specific files. The file must have been
compiled using the 13705 HAL library.
Checking “Preserve Physical Addresses” instructs 13705CFG to use the register and
display buffer address values the files were previously configured with. Addresses
specified in the General Tab are discarded. This is useful when configuring several
programs for various hardware platforms at the same time. For example, if configuring PCI,
MPC and IDP based programs at the same time for a new panel type, the physical addresses
for each are retained. This feature is primarily intended for the test lab where multiple
hardware configurations exist and are being tested.

Export
After determining the desired configuration, “Export” permits the user to save the register
information as a variety of ASCII text file formats. The following is a list and description
of the currently supported output formats:
• a C header file for use in writing HAL library based applications.
• a C header file which lists each register and the value it should be set to.
• a C header file for use in developing Window CE display drivers.
• a C header file for use in developing display drivers for other operating systems such as
Linux, QNX, and VxWorks UGL or WindML.
• a comma delimited text file containing an offset, a value, and a description for each
S1D13705 register.

After selecting the file format, click the “Export As...” button to display the file dialog box
which allows the user to enter a filename before saving. Before saving the configuration
file, clicking the “Preview” button starts Notepad with a copy of the configuration file about
to be saved.
When the C Header File for S1D13705 WinCE Drivers option is selected as the export
type, additional options are available and can be selected by clicking on the Options button.
The options dialog appears as:

Selecting the “About 13705CFG” option from the “Help” menu displays the about dialog
box for 13705CFG. The about dialog box contains version information and the copyright
notice for 13705CFG.

Comments
• On any tab particular options may be grayed out if selecting them would violate the
operational specification of the S1D13705 (i.e. Selecting TFT or STN on the Panel tab
enables/disables options specific to the panel type).
• The file panels.def is a text file containing operational specifications for several
supported, and tested, panels. This file can be edited with any text editor.
• 13705CFG allows manually altering register values. The manual changes may violate
memory and LCD timings as specified in the S1D13705 Hardware Functional Specification, document number X27A-A-001-xx. If this is done, unpredictable results may
occur. Epson Research and Development, Inc. does not assume liability for any damage
done to the display device as a result of configuration errors.

13705SHOW
13705SHOW is a program designed to demonstrate rudimentary display capabilities of the
S1D13705. The display abilities are shown by drawing a pattern image to the video display
at all supported color depths (1, 2, 4 and 8 bits-per-pixel)
The 13705SHOW display utility must be configured and/or compiled to work with your
hardware platform. The program 13705CFG.EXE can be used to configure 13705SHOW.
Consult the 13705CFG users guide, document number X27A-B-001-xx, for more information on configuring S1D13705 utilities.
This software is designed to work in both embedded and personal computer (PC) environments. For the embedded environment, it is assumed that the system has a means of
downloading software from the PC to the target platform. Typically, this is done by serial
communications. The PC uses a terminal program to send control commands and information to the target processor. Alternatively, the PC can program an EPROM, which is then
placed in the target platform. Some target platforms can also communicate with the PC via
a parallel port connection, or an Ethernet connection.

S1D13705 Supported Evaluation Platforms
13705SHOW has been tested with the following S1D13705 supported evaluation
platforms:
• PC system with an x86 processor. Both 16-bit and 32-bit code is supported.
• M68EC000IDP (Integrated Development Platform) board, revision 3.0, with a Motorola
M68EC000 processor.
• SH3-LCEVB board, revision B, with an Hitachi SH-3 HD6417780 processor.
If the platform you are using is different from the above, please see the S1D13705

Comments
• The /alt command line switch can only be used with the /p (portrait) mode switch. This
switch will have no effect in landscape display modes.
• The Intel 32-bit version of 13705SHOW is designed to work under either Windows 9x
or Windows NT. To install the 32-bit Windows device driver S1D13X0X.vxd see the
S1D13X0X 32-Bit Windows Device Driver Installation Guide, document number
X00A-E-003-xx.
The 16-bit version of the program runs under DOS with no DOS extenders. The lack of
a DOS extender means that the 16-bit program can only be used on a hardware platform
where the S1D13705 is addressed below 1MB.

13705PLAY
13705PLAY is a utility which allows the user to easily read/write the S1D13705 registers,
Look-Up Table and display memory.
The user interface for 13705PLAY is similar to the DOS DEBUG program; commands are
received from the standard input device, and output is sent to the standard output device
(console for Intel and terminal for embedded platforms). This utility requires the target
platform to support standard IO.
13705PLAY commands can be entered interactively using a keyboard/monitor or they can
be executed from a script file. Scripting is a powerful feature which allows command
sequences played back from a file thus avoiding having to retype lengthy sequences.
The 13705PLAY display utility must be configured and/or compiled to work with your
hardware platform. The program 13705CFG.EXE can be used to configure 13705PLAY.
Consult the 13705CFG users guide, document number X27A-B-001-xx, for more information on configuring S1D13705 utilities.
This software is designed to work in both embedded and personal computer (PC) environments. For the embedded environment, it is assumed that the system has a means of
downloading software from the PC to the target platform. Typically, this is done by serial
communications. The PC uses a terminal program to send control commands and information to the target processor. Alternatively, the PC can program an EPROM, which is then
placed in the target platform. Some target platforms can also communicate with the PC via
a parallel port connection, or an Ethernet connection.

S1D13705 Supported Evaluation Platforms
13705PLAY has been tested with the following S1D13705 supported evaluation platforms:
• PC system with an x86 processor. Both 16-bit and 32-bit code is supported.
• M68EC000IDP (Integrated Development Platform) board, revision 3.0, with a Motorola
M68EC000 processor.
• SH3-LCEVB board, revision B, with an Hitachi SH-3 HD6417780 processor.
If the platform you are using is different from the above, please see the S1D13705
Programming Notes and Examples manual, document number X26A-G-002-xx.

Scripting
13705PLAY can be driven by a script file. This is useful when:
• there is no standard display output to monitor command entry and results.
• various registers must be quickly changed faster than can achieved by typing.
• The same series of keystrokes is being entered time and again.
A script file is an ASCII text file with one 13705PLAY command per line. All scripts must
end with a “q” (quit) command in order to return control to the operating system. The semicolon is used as a comment delimitor. Everything on a line after the semi-colon will be
ignored.
On a PC platform, a typical script command line is: “13705PLAY < dumpregs.scr >
results”.
This causes the script file “dumpregs.scr” to be interpreted and the results to be sent to the
file “results.”
Example 1: The script file “dumpregs.scr” can be created with and text editor and will look
like the following:
; This file initializes the S1D13705 and reads the registers
i
; Initialize the registers.
xa
; Dump all the registers
la
; And the LUT
q
; Exit

Comments
• All numeric values are considered to be hexadecimal unless identified otherwise. For
example, 10 = 10h = 16 decimal; 10t = 10 decimal; 010b = 2 decimal.
• Redirecting commands from a script file (PC platform) allows those commands to be
executed as though they were typed.

Configuration
There are several issues to consider when configuring the display driver. The issues cover
debugging support, register initialization values and memory allocation. Each of these
issues is discussed in the following sections.

Compile Switches
There are several switches, specific to the S1D13705 display driver, which affect the
display driver.
The switches are added or removed from the compile options in the file SOURCES.
WINCEVER

This option is automatically set to the numerical version of WinCE for version 2.12 or later.
If the environment variable, _WINCEOSVER is not defined, then WINCEVER will
default 2.11. The display driver may test against this option to support different WinCE
version-specific features.
DEBUG_MONITOR

This option enables the use of the debug monitor. The debug monitor can be invoked when
the display driver is first loaded and can be used to view registers, and perform a few
debugging tasks. The debug monitor is still under development and is untested.
This option should remain disabled unless you are performing specific debugging tasks that
require the debug monitor.
TEST_BITMAP

This option allows the debug monitor to display a test bitmap. This bitmap is big and will
make the display driver considerably larger. The flag DEBUG_MONITOR must also be
enabled for this option to work.
This option should be disabled unless the image is required for debugging.

X27A-E-001-03

Epson Research and Development

Mode File
A second variable which will affect the finished display driver is the register configurations
contained in the mode file.
The MODE tables (contained in files MODE0.H, MODE1.H, MODE2.H . . .) contain
register information to control the desired display mode. The MODE tables must be
generated by the configuration program 13705CFG.EXE. The display driver comes with
example MODE tables.
By default, only MODE0.H is used by the display driver. New mode tables can be created
using the 13705CFG program. Edit the #include section of MODE.H to add the new mode
table.
If you only support a single display mode, you do not need to add any information to the
WinCE registry. If, however, you support more that one display mode, you should create
registry values (see below) that will establish the initial display mode. If your display driver
contains multiple mode tables, and if you do not add any registry values, the display driver
will default to the first mode table in your list.
To select which display mode the display driver should use upon boot, add the following
lines to your PLATFORM.REG file:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\S1D13705]
“Width”=dword:140
“Height”=dword:F0
“Bpp”=dword:8
“Rotation”=dword:0
“RefreshRate”=dword:3C
“Flags”=dword:1
Note that all dword values are in hexadecimal, therefore 140h = 320, F0h = 240, and 3Ch
= 60. The value for “Flags” should be 1 (LCD). When the display driver starts, it will read
these values in the registry and attempt to match a mode table against them. All values must
be present and valid for a match to occur, otherwise the display driver will default to the
FIRST mode table in your list.
A WinCE desktop application (or control panel applet) can change these registry values,
and the display driver will select a different mode upon warmboot. This allows the display
driver to support different display configurations and/or orientations. An example application that controls these registry values will be made available upon the next release of the
display driver; preliminary alpha code is available by special request.

Comments
• The display driver is CPU independent, allowing use of the driver for several Windows
CE Platform Builder supported platforms.
• When using 13705CFG.EXE to produce multiple MODE tables, make sure you change
the Mode Number in the WinCE tab for each mode table you generate. The display
driver supports multiple mode tables, but only if each mode table has a unique mode
number.
• At this time, the drivers have been tested on the x86 CPUs and have been run with
version 2.0 of the ETK, Platform Builder v2.1x.

Wind River WindML v2.0 DISPLAY DRIVERS
The Wind River WindML v2.0 display drivers for the S1D13705 Embedded Memory LCD
Controller are intended as “reference” source code for OEMs developing for Wind River’s
WindML v2.0. The driver package provides support for 8 bit-per-pixel color depth. The
source code is written for portability and contains functionality for most features of the
S1D13705. Source code modification is required to provide a smaller, more efficient driver
for mass production (e.g. SwivelView™ support may be removed for products not
requiring display rotation).
The WindML display drivers are designed around a common configuration include file
called mode0.h which is generated by the configuration utility 13705CFG. This design
allows for easy customization of clocks, decode addresses, rotation, etc. by OEMs. For
further information on 13705CFG, see the 13705CFG Configuration Program User
Manual, document number X27A-B-001-xx.
Note

The WindML display drivers are provided as “reference” source code only. They are intended to provide a basis for OEMs to develop their own drivers for WindML v2.0.
These drivers are not backwards compatible with UGL v1.2. For information on the
UGL v1.2 display drivers, see Wind River UGL v1.2 Display Drivers, document number
X27A-E-003-xx.
This document and the source code for the WindML display drivers is updated as appropriate. Please check the Epson Electronics America website at http://www.eea.epson.com
or the Epson Research and Development website at http://www.erd.epson.com for the latest
revisions before beginning any development.

Building a WindML v2.0 Display Driver
The following instructions produce a bootable disk that automatically starts the UGL demo
program. These instructions assume that Wind River’s Tornado platform is already
installed.
Note

For the example steps where the drive letter is given as “x:”. Substitute “x” with the
drive letter that your development environment is on.
1. Create a working directory and unzip the WindML display driver into it.
From a command prompt or GUI interface create a new directory (e.g. x:\13705).
Unzip the file 13705windml.zip to the newly created working directory. The files will
be unzipped to the directory “x:\13705\8bpp”.
2. Configure for the target execution model.
This example build creates a VxWorks image that fits onto and boots from a single
floppy diskette. In order for the VxWorks image to fit on the disk certain modifications are required.
Replace the file “x:\Tornado\target\config\pcPentium\config.h” with the file
“x:\13705\8bpp\File\config.h”. The new config.h file removes networking components and configures the build image for booting from a floppy disk.
Note

Rather than simply replacing the original config.h file, rename it so the file can be kept
for reference purposes.
3. Build a boot ROM image.
From the Tornado tool bar, select Build -> Build Boot ROM. Select “pcPentium” as
the BSP and “bootrom_uncmp” as the image.
4. Create a bootable disk (in drive A:).
From a command prompt change to the directory “x:\Tornado\host\x86-win32\bin”
and run the batch file torvars.bat. Next, change to the directory “x:\Tornado\target\config\pcPentium” and type:
mkboot a: bootrom_uncmp
5. If necessary, generate a new mode0.h configuration file.
The file mode0.h contains the register values required to set the screen resolution, color depth (bpp), display type (passive or active matrix), rotation, etc. The mode0.h file
included with the drivers, may not contain applicable values and must be regenerated.
The configuration program 13705CFG can be used to build a new mode0.h file. If
building for 8 bpp, place the new mode0.h file in the directory “x:\13705\8bpp\File”.

6. Build the WindML v2.0 library.
From a command prompt change to the directory “x:\Tornado\host\x86-win32\bin”
and run the batch file torvars.bat. Next, change to the directory “x:\Tornado\target\src\ugl” and type the command:
make CPU=PENTIUM ugl
7. Open the S1D13705 workspace.
From the Tornado tool bar, select File->Open Workspace...->Existing->Browse... and
select the file “x:\13705\8bpp\13705.wsp”.
8. Add support for single line comments.
The WindML v2.0 display driver source code uses single line comment notation, “//”,
rather than the ANSI conventional comments, “/*...*/”.
To add support for single line comments follow these steps:
a.

In the Tornado “Workspace Views” window, click on the “Builds” tab.

b.

Expand the “8bpp Builds” view by clicking on the “+” next to it. The expanded view will contain the item “default”. Right-click on “default” and
select “Properties...”. A “Properties:” window will appear.

c.

Select the “C/C++ compiler” tab to display the command switches used in
the build. Remove the “-ansi” switch from the line that contains “-g -mpentium -ansi -nostdinc -DRW_MULTI_THREAD”.
(Refer to GNU ToolKit user's guide for details)

9. Compile the VxWorks image.
Select the “Builds” tab in the Tornado “Workspace Views” window.
Right-click on “8bpp files” and select “Dependencies...”. Click on “OK” to regenerate
project file dependencies for “All Project files”.
Right-click on “8bpp files” and select “ReBuild All(vxWorks)” to build VxWorks.
10. Copy the VxWorks file to the diskette.
From a command prompt or through the Windows interface, copy the file
“x:\13705\8bpp\default\vxWorks” to the bootable disk created in step 4.
11. Start the VxWorks demo.
Boot the target PC with the VxWorks bootable diskette to run the UGLDEMO automatically.

This example build creates a VxWorks image that fits onto and boots from a single
floppy diskette. In order for the VxWorks image to fit on the disk certain modifications are required.
Replace the file “x:\Tornado\target\config\pcPentium\config.h” with the file
“x:\13705\8bpp\File\config.h”. The new config.h file removes networking components and configures the build image for booting from a floppy disk.
Note

Rather than simply replacing the original config.h file, rename it so the file can be kept
for reference purposes.
3. Build a boot ROM image.
From the Tornado tool bar, select Build -> Build Boot ROM. Select “pcPentium” as
the BSP and “bootrom_uncmp” as the image.
4. Create a bootable disk (in drive A:).
From a command prompt in the directory “x:\Tornado\target\config\pcPentium” type
mkboot a: bootrom_uncmp
5. If necessary, generate a new mode0.h configuration file.
The file mode0.h contains the register values required to set the screen resolution, color depth (bpp), display type, rotation, etc. The mode0.h, included with the drivers,
sets the display for 256x64 190 Hz output to an LCD display.
If this setting is inappropriate then mode0.h must be regenerated. The configuration
program 13705CFG can be used to build a new mode0.h file. Place the new mode0.h
file in “x:\13705\8bpp\File”.

Note

Mode0.h should be created using the configuration utility 13705CFG. For more information on 13705CFG, see the 13705CFG Configuration Program User Manual, document number X27A-B-001-xx available at www.erd.epson.com.
6. Open the S1D13705 workspace.
From the Tornado tool bar, select File->Open Workspace...->Existing->Browse... and
select the file “x:\13705\8bpp\13705.wsp”.
7. Add support for single line comments.
The UGL v1.2 display driver source code uses single line comment notation, “//”,
rather than the ANSI conventional comments, “/* . . . */”.
To add support for single line comments follow these steps:
a. In the Tornado “Workspace” window, click on the “Builds” tab.
b. Expand the “8bpp Builds” view by clicking on the “+” next to it. The
expanded view will contain the item “default”. Right-click on “default” and select “Properties...”. A properties window will appear.
c. Select the “C/C++ compiler” tab to display the command switches
used in the build. Remove the “-ansi” switch from the line that contains “-g -mpentium -ansi -nostdinc -DRW_MULTI_THREAD”.
(Refer to GNU ToolKit user's guide for details)
8. Compile the VxWorks image.
Select the “Files” tab in the Tornado “Workspace” window.
Right-click on “8bpp files” and select “Dependencies...”. Click on “OK” to regenerate
project file dependencies for “All Project files”.
Right-click on “8bpp files” and select “ReBuild All(vxWorks)” to build VxWorks.
9. Copy the VxWorks file to the diskette.
From a command prompt or through the Windows interface, copy the file
“x:\13705\8bpp\default\vxWorks” to the bootable disk created in step 4.
10. Start the VxWorks demo.
Boot the target PC with the VxWorks bootable diskette to run the UGLDEMO automatically.

Linux Console Driver
The Linux console driver for the S1D13705 Embedded Memory LCD Controller is
intended as “reference” source code for OEMs developing for Linux, and supports 4 and 8
bit-per-pixel color depths.
A Graphical User Interface (GUI) such as Gnome can obtain the frame buffer address from
this driver allowing the Linux GUI the ability to update the display.
The console driver is designed around a common configuration include file called
s1d13705.h, which is generated by the configuration utility 13705CFG. This design allows
for easy customization of display type, clocks, decode addresses, rotation, etc. by OEMs.
For further information on 13705CFG, see the 13705CFG Configuration Program User
Manual, document number X27A-B-001-xx.
Note

The Linux console driver is provided as “reference” source code only. The driver is intended to provide a basis for OEMs to develop their own drivers for Linux.
This document and the source code for the Linux console drivers are updated as appropriate. Please check the Epson Research and Development website at
http://www.erd.epson.com for the latest revisions or before beginning any development.
We appreciate your comments on our documentation. Please contact us via e-mail at

Building the Console Driver for Linux Kernel 2.2.x
Follow the steps below to construct a copy of the Linux operating system using the
S1D13705 as the console display device. These instructions assume that the GNU development environment is installed and the user is familiar with GNU and the Linux operating
system.
1. Acquire the Linux kernel source code.
You can obtain the Linux kernel source code from your Linux supplier or download
the source from: ftp://ftp.kernel.org.
The S1D13705 reference driver requires Linux kernel 2.2.x or greater. The example
S1D13705 reference driver available on www.erd.epson.com was built using Red Hat
Linux 6.1, kernel version 2.2.17.
For information on building the kernel refer to the readme file at:
ftp://ftp.linuxberg.com/pub/linux/kernel/README
Note

Before continuing with modifications for the S1D13705, you should ensure that you can
build and start the Linux operating system.
2. Unzip the console driver files.
Using a zip file utility, unzip the S1D13705 archive to a temporary directory. (e.g.
/tmp)
When completed the files:
s1d13xxxfb.c
s1d13705.h
Config.in
fbmem.c
fbcon-cfb4.c, and
Makefile
should be located in the temporary directory.
3. Copy the console driver files to the build directory.
Copy the files
/tmp/s1d13xxxfb.c and
/tmp/s1d13705.h
to the directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/video.
Copy the remaining source files
/tmp/Config.in
/tmp/fbmem.c
/tmp/fbcon-cfb4.c, and

If your kernel version is not 2.2.17 or you want to retain greater control of the build
process then use a text editor and cut and paste the sections dealing with the Epson
driver in the corresponding files of the same names.
4. Modify s1d13705.h
The file s1d13705.h contains the register values required to set the screen resolution,
color depth (bpp), display type, display rotation, etc.
Before building the console driver, refer to the descriptions in the file s1d13705.h for
the default settings of the console driver. If the default does not match the configuration you are building for then s1d13705.h will have to be regenerated with the correct
information.
Use the program 13705CFG to generate the required header file. For information on
how to use 13705CFG, refer to the 13705CFG Configuration Program User Manual,
document number X27A-B-001-xx, available at www.erd.epson.com
After selecting the desired configuration, choose “File->Export” and select the “C
Header File for S1D13705 Generic Drivers” option. Save the new configuration as
s1d13705.h in the /usr/src/linux/drivers/video, replacing the original configuration
file.
5. Configure the video options.
From the command prompt in the directory /usr/src/linux run the command:
make menuconfig
This command will start a text based interface which allows the selection of build time
parameters. From the text interface under “Console drivers” options, select:
“Support for frame buffer devices”
“Epson LCD/CRT controllers support”
“S1D13705 support”
“Advanced low level driver options”
“xBpp packed pixels support” *
* where x is the color depth being compile for.
Once you have configured the kernel options, save and exit the configuration utility.
6. Compile and install the kernel
Build the kernel with the following sequence of commands:
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
/sbin/lilo (if running lilo)

QNX Photon v2.0 Display Driver
The Photon v2.0 display drivers for the S1D13705 Color LCD Controller are intended as
“reference” source code for OEMs developing for QNX platforms. The driver package
provides support for 8 bit-per-pixel color depths. The source code is written for portability
and contains functionality for most features of the S1D13705. Source code modification is
required to provide a smaller driver for mass production.
The current revision of the driver is designed for use with either QNX RTP or QNX4 from
the latest product CD (Dec. 99).
The Photon v2.0 display driver is designed around a common configuration include file
called S1D13705.h, which is generated by the configuration utility 13705CFG. This design
allows for easy customization of display type, clocks, decode addresses, etc. by OEMs. For

Building the Photon v2.0 Display Driver
The following steps build the Photon v2.0 display driver and integrate it into the QNX
operating system. These instructions assume the QNX developer environment is correctly
installed and the developer is familiar with building for the QNX operating system.
Unpack the Graphics Driver Development Kit Archive
1. Install the QNX ddk package using the Package Manager utility.
For information about the Drivers Development Kit contact QNX directly.
2. Once the ddk package is installed, copy the directory tree /usr/src/gddk_v1.0 into the
Project directory.
3. Change directory to Project/gddk_1.0/devg.
4. Unpack the display driver files using the commands:
#gunzip S1D13705.tar.gz
#tar –xvf S1D13705.tar
This unpacks the files into the directory Project/gddk_1.0/devg/S1D13705.
Configure the Driver
The file s1d13705_8.h contains register values required to set the screen resolution, color
depth (bpp), display type, etc. The s1d13705.h file included with the drivers may not
contain applicable values and must be regenerated. The configuration program 13705CFG
can be used to build new s1d13705_8.h files.
Note

S1d13705.h should be created using the configuration utility 13705CFG. For more information on 13705CFG, see the 13705CFG Configuration Program User Manual,
document number X27A-B-001-xx available at www.erd.epson.com.
Build the Driver
The first time the driver is built, the following command ensures that all drivers and
required libraries are built. At the root of the Project source tree, type make.
Note

To build drivers for X86 NTO type ‘OSLIST=nto CPULIST=x86 make’.
Further builds do not require all libraries to be re-built. To build only the S1D13705 display
driver, change to the directory gddk_1.0/devg/S1D13705 and type make.

Installing the Driver
The build step produces two library images:
• lib/disputil/nto/x86/so/libdisputil.so
• lib/ffb/nto/x86/so/libffb.so
For the loader to locate them, the files need to be renamed and copied to the lib directory.
1. Rename libdisputil.so to libdisputil.so.1 and libffb.so to libffb.so.1.
2. Copy the files new files libdisputil.so.1 and libffb.so.1 to the directory /usr/lib.
3. Copy the file devg-S1D13705.so to the /lib/dll directory.
Note

To locate the file devg-S1D13705.so, watch the output of the ‘true’ command during the
makefile build.
4. Modify the trap file graphics-modes in the /etc/system/config directory by inserting
the following lines at the top of the file.
io-graphics -dldevg-S1D13705.so -g320x240x8 -I0 -d0x0,0x0;#320,240,8 Epson
Run the Driver
Note

For the remaining steps the S5U13705B00C evaluation board must be installed on the
test platform.
Note

Because this is an ISA board, a memory hole must be created in the 15 megabyte range.
This is done in the BIOS settings.
It is recommended that the driver be verified before starting QNX with the S1D13705 as
the primary display. To verify the driver:
1. Copy the data file from the services/graphics/tests/bench directory to the current directory. Use test8.raw for 8-bpp.

Issue Date: 01/09/10

S1D13705
X27A-E-005-01

Page 6

2. Type the following command at the root of the Project source tree (gddk_v1.00 directory):
services/graphics/tests/bench/nto/x86/o/bench -dlhardware/devg/S1D13705/
nto/x86/dll/devg-S1D13705.so -mW,H,C,F -d0x0,0x0
Where:
W is the configured width of the display
H is the configured height of the display
C is the color depth in bpp (i.e. 8)
F is the configured frame rate
This command starts the bench utility which will initialize the driver as the secondary
display and exercise the drivers main functions. If the display appears satisfactory, restart
QNX Photon and the restart will result in the S1D13705 display driver becoming the
primary display device.

Comments
• To restore the display driver to the default, comment out changes made to the trap file
graphics-trapfile.

6 Technical Description
6.1 Embedded Memory Support
The S1D13705 contains 80K bytes of embedded, 16-bit, SRAM used for the display buffer
and a 32 byte internal register set.
Since the S1D13705 does not distinguish between memory and register accesses, both the
80K byte display buffer and the 32 byte register set must be memory mapped into the host’s
memory space.
When using the S5U13705B00C board on an ISA bus system, the board can be configured
to map the S1D13705 to one of two memory blocks.
The SRAM start address is determined by a DIP switch setting. See Table 2-1: “Configuration DIP Switch Settings,” on page 8.
1. When switch S1-5 is in the closed position, the S1D13705 is mapped into segments
0C0000h and 0D0000h.
This memory space is in the first 1M byte of ISA bus memory and should be used if
these segments are not taken up by other devices such as network adapters, SCSI
cards, or other peripherals.
Note

Since VGA and VGA compatible video adapters use address 0C8000, these cards cannot be used while using the S5U13705B00C board at this memory address. A monochrome display adapter, a terminal, or a non-VGA compatible display adapter must be
used.
2. When switch S1-5 is in the open position, the S1D13705 is mapped into the upper
megabyte of ISA bus memory, starting address of F00000h. To use this memory on an
ISA bus system, the system BIOS has to be configured to set a memory ‘hole’ starting
at this address. Some systems allow the user to configure the size of this hole and the
starting address of where it begins while others just allow a 1M byte hole at the top of
the 16M byte memory space. This memory hole is configured by entering the system
CMOS Setup Utility. This memory space should be used if segments 0Dh and 0Eh are
being used by other devices or if a VGA display adapter is needed.
Starting at the SRAM start address, the board design decodes a 128K byte segment accommodating both the 80K byte display buffer and the S1D13705 internal register set. The
S1D13705 registers are mapped into the upper 32 bytes of the 128K byte segment (1FFE0h
to 1FFFFh).
When using the S5U13705B00C board on a non-ISA bus system, system or external
decode logic must map the S1D13705 into an appropriate memory space.

6.2 ISA Bus Support
The S5U13705B00C board has been designed to directly support the 16-bit ISA bus
environment and can be used in conjunction with either a VGA or a monochrome display
adapter card.
There are 4 configuration inputs associated with the Host Interface (CNF[2:0] and BS#).
Refer to Table 2-3: “Jumper Settings,” on page 9 and Table 5-1: “Host Bus Interface Pin
Mapping,” on page 13 for complete details.

6.2.1 Display Adapter Card Support
When using the S5U13705B00C in conjunction with another primary Display Adapter
(VGA or Monochrome) the following applies:
VGA Display Adapter
All VGA display adapters can be used with the S5U13705B00C board if the S1D13705 is
mapped to the upper 1M Byte of ISA bus memory, address F00000-F1FFFF. If the
S1D13705 is mapped to the address range 0C0000-0D0000, then no VGA or VGA
compatible display adapters can be used with the S5U13705B00C board. See Embedded
Memory Support on page 14.
Monochrome Display Adapter
The S5U13705B00C board can be used with monochrome display adapters at both memory
addresses.

6.2.2 Expanded Memory Manager Support
If a memory manager is being used for system memory, the address range selected for the
SRAM start address must be excluded from use or memory conflicts will arise.

6.3 Non-ISA Bus Support
The S5U13705B00C board is specifically designed to support the standard 16-bit ISA bus.
However, the S1D13705 directly supports many other host bus interfaces. Header strips H1
and H2 are provided and contain all the necessary IO pins to interface to these host buses.
See CPU/Bus Interface Connector Pinouts on page 11; Table 2-1: “Configuration DIP
Switch Settings,” on page 8; and Table 2-3: “Jumper Settings,” on page 9 for details.

When using the header strips to provide the bus interface observe the following:
• All signals on the ISA bus card edge must be isolated from the ISA bus (do not plug the
card into a computer). Power must be provided through the headers.
• U7, a PLD of type 22V10-15, is used to provide the S1D13705 CS# (pin 74) and other
decoding logic signals for ISA bus mode. For non-ISA applications, this functionality
must be provided externally. Remove the PAL from its socket to eliminate conflicts
driving S1D13705 control signals. Refer to Table 5-1: “Host Bus Interface Pin
Mapping” for connection details.
Note

When using a 3.3V host bus interface, IO VDD must be set to 3.3V by setting jumper
(JP1) to the 2-3 position. Refer to Table 2-3: “Jumper Settings,” on page 9.

6.4 Decoding Logic
All the required decode logic is provided through a PLD of type 22V10-15 (U7, socketed).
This PAL contains the following equations.
!CS

= (Address >= ^hC0000) & (Address <= ^hDFFFF) & !ADDR & REFRESH & ENAB
# (Address1 >= ^hF00000) & (Address1 <= ^hF1FFFF) & ADDR & REFRESH & ENAB;

!MEMCS16 = (Address1 >= ^h0C0000) & (Address1 <= ^h0DFFFF) & !ADDR & !CS
# (Address1 >= ^hF00000) & (Address1 <= ^hF1FFFF) & ADDR & !CS;
!WE0

= (!CS & !ADDR & !SMEMW) # (!CS & ADDR & !MEMW);

!RD

= (!CS & !ADDR & !SMEMR) # (!CS & ADDR & !MEMR);
Note

ADDR = Switch S1-5 (see Table 2-1:, “Configuration DIP Switch Settings,” on page 8).

6.5 Clock Input Support
The input clock (CLKI) frequency can be up to 50MHz for the S1D13705 if the internal
clock divide-by-2 mode is set. If the clock divider is not used, the maximum CLKI
frequency is 25MHz. There is no minimum input clock frequency.
A 25.0MHz oscillator (U2, socketed) is provided as the input clock source. However,
depending on the LCD resolution , desired frame rate, and power consumtion budget, a
lower frequency clock may be required.

6.6 LCD Panel Voltage Setting
The S5U13705B00C board supports both 3.3V and 5V LCD panels through the LCD
connector J5. The voltage level is selected by setting jumper J4 to the appropriate position.
Refer to Table 2-3: “Jumper Settings,” on page 9 for setting this jumper.
Although not necessary for signal buffering, buffers have been implemented in the board
design to provide flexibility in handling 3 and 5 volt panels.

6.7 Monochrome LCD Panel Support
The S1D13705 directly supports 4 and 8-bit, dual and single, monochrome passive LCD
panels. All necessary signals are provided on the 40-pin ribbon cable header J5. The
interface signals on the cable are alternated with grounds to reduce crosstalk and noise.
Refer to Table 3-1: “LCD Signal Connector (J5) Pinout,” on page 10 for specific
connection information.

6.8 Color Passive LCD Panel Support
The S1D13705 directly supports 4 and 8-bit, dual and single, color passive LCD panels. All
the necessary signals are provided on the 40-pin ribbon cable header J5. The interface
signals on the cable are alternated with grounds to reduce crosstalk and noise.
Refer to Table 3-1: “LCD Signal Connector (J5) Pinout,” on page 10 for specific
connection information.

6.9 Color TFT/D-TFD LCD Panel Support
The S1D13705 directly supports 9 and 12-bit active matrix color TFT/D-TFD panels. All
the necessary signals can also be found on the 40-pin LCD connector J5. The interface
signals on the cable are alternated with grounds to reduce crosstalk and noise.
Refer to Table 3-1: “LCD Signal Connector (J5) Pinout,” on page 10 for connection information.

6.10 Power Save Modes
The S1D13705 supports hardware and software power save modes. These modes are
controlled by the utility 13705PWR. The hardware power save mode needs to be enabled
by 13705PWR and then activated by DIP switch S1-6. See Table 2-1: “Configuration DIP
Switch Settings,” on page 8 for details on setting this switch.

6.11 Adjustable LCD Panel Negative Power Supply
For those LCD panels requiring a negative power supply to provide between -23V and 14V (Iout=25mA) a power supply has been provided as an integral part of this design. The
VLCD power supply can be adjusted by R21 to give an output voltage from -23V to -14V,
and is enabled and disabled by the active high S1D13705 control signal LCDPWR, inverted
externally.
Determine the panel’s specific power requirements and set the potentiometer accordingly
before connecting the panel.

6.12 Adjustable LCD Panel Positive Power Supply
For those LCD panels requiring a positive power supply to provide between +23V and
+40V (Iout=45mA) a power supply has been provided as an integral part of this design. The
VDDH power supply can be adjusted by R15 to provide an output voltage from +23V to
+40V and is enabled and disabled by the active high S1D13705 control signal LCDPWR,
inverted externally.
Determine the panel’s specific power requirements and set the potentiometer accordingly
before connecting the panel.

6.13 CPU/Bus Interface Header Strips
All of the CPU/Bus interface pins of the S1D13705 are connected to the header strips H1
and H2 for easy interface to a CPU/Bus other than ISA.
Refer to Table 4-1: “CPU/BUS Connector (H1) Pinout,” on page 11 and Table 4-2:
“CPU/BUS Connector (H2) Pinout,” on page 12 for specific settings.
Note

These headers only provide the CPU/bus interface signals from the S1D13705. When
another host bus interface is selected by CNF[3:0] and BS#, appropriate external decoding logic MUST be used to access the S1D13705. Refer to Table 5-1: “Host Bus Interface Pin Mapping,” on page 13 for connection details.

3 Installation and Configuration
The S5U13705B00C is designed to support as many platforms as possible. The
S5U13705B00C incorporates a DIP switch and seven jumpers which allow both evaluation
board and S1D13705 LCD controller to be configured for a specified evaluation platform.

3.1 Configuration DIP Switches
The S1D13705 has configuration inputs (CNF[3:0]) and BS# input, which are read on the
rising edge of RESET#. In order to configure the S1D13705 for multiple Host Bus Interfaces a six-position DIP switch (SW1) is required. The following figure shows the location
of DIP switch SW1 on the S5U13705B00C.

The S1D13705 has 4 configuration inputs (CONF[3:0]) and BS# input, which are read on
the rising edge of RESET#. All S1D13705 configuration inputs and BS# input are fully
configurable using a six position DIP switch as described below and a jumper for BS#.

6 Technical Description
6.1 PCI Bus Support
The S1D13705 does not have on-chip PCI bus interface support. The S1D13705B00C uses
the PCI Bridge FPGA to support the PCI bus. When using the PCI Bridge FPGA, a
Windows device driver is required, see Section 7, “Software” on page 22 for further information on available software and drivers.

6.2 Direct Host Bus Interface Support
The S5U13705B00C is specifically designed to work using the PCI Bridge FPGA in a
standard PCI bus environment. However, the S1D13705 directly supports many other host
bus interfaces. Connectors H1 and H2 provide the necessary IO pins to interface to these
host buses. For further information on the host bus interfaces supported, see “CPU
Interface” on page 15.
Note

The PCI Bridge FPGA must be disabled using JP5 in order for direct host bus interface
to operate properly.

6.3 S1D13705 Embedded Memory
The S1D13705 has 80K bytes of embedded SRAM. The 80K byte display buffer address
space is directly and contiguously available through the 17-bit address bus.
The S1D13705 registers are located in the upper 32 bytes of the 128K byte address range
of S1D13705.

6.4 Adjustable LCD Panel Positive Power Supply (VDDH)
For those LCD panels requiring a positive power supply to provide between +23V and
+40V (Iout = 45mA) a power supply has been provided as an integral part of this design.
The VDDH power supply can be adjusted by R15 to provide an output voltage from +23V
to +40V and is enabled and disabled by the active high LCDPWR control signal of
S1D13705 and inverted externally.
Determine the panel’s specific power requirements and set the potentiometer accordingly
before connecting the panel.

6.5 Adjustable LCD Panel Negative Power Supply (VLCD)
For those LCD panels requiring a negative power supply to provide between -23V and 14V (Iout = 25mA) a power supply has been provided as an integral part of this design. The
VLCD power supply can be adjusted by R21 to give an output voltage from -23V to -14V
and is enabled and disabled by the active high LCDPWR control signal of S1D13705 and
inverted externally.
Determine the panel’s specific power requirements and set the potentiometer accordingly
before connecting the panel.

6.6 Passive/Active LCD Panel Support
The S1D13705 directly supports:
• 4/8-bit, single and dual, monochrome passive panels.
• 4/8-bit, single and dual, color passive panels.
• 9/12-bit, TFT active matrix panels.
All the necessary signals are provided on the 40-pin LCD connector J5. For connection
information, refer to Table 5-1: “LCD Signal Connector (J5)” on page 18.
The buffered LCD connector (J5) provides the same LCD panel signals as those directly
from S1D13705, but with voltage-adapting buffers selectable to 3.3V or 5.0V. Pin 32 on
this connector provides a voltage level of 3.3V or 5.0V to the LCD panel logic (see “JP6 LCDPWR Polarity” on page 14 for information on setting the panel voltage).

6.7 Power Save Modes
The S1D13705 supports one hardware and one software power save mode. The hardware
power save mode needs to be enabled by setting REG[02h] bit1 to 1 and then can be
activated by DIP switch SW1-6. See Table 3-1: “Configuration DIP Switch Settings” on
page 10.

6.8 Clock Options
The input clock (CLKI) frequency can be up to 50MHz for the S1D13705 if the internal
divide-by-2 mode is set. If the clock divider is not used, the maximum CLKI frequency is
25MHz. There is no minimum input clock frequency.
A 6.0MHz oscillator (U2, socketed) is provided as the input clock source. However,
depending on the LCD resolution, desired frame rate and power consumption budget,
another clock frequency may be required.
A jumper, JP7 is provided to allow CLKI input to be the same as BCLK input, for systems
in which is desired to use only one clock signal for both BCLK and CLKI.
The bus clock (BCLK) is selectable and can be provided by a 50MHz oscillator (U7,
socketed) or the host CPU (for non-PCI host).

7 Software
This evaluation board, when used with the PCI Bridge FPGA adapter, requires drivers to
work in the 32-bit Windows environment. See the S1D13XXX 32-Bit Windows Device
Driver Installation Guide, document number X00A-E-003-xx for more information.
Test utilities and display drivers are also available for the S1D13705. Full source code is
available for both the test utilities and the drivers.
The test utilities are configurable for different panel types using a program called
13705CFG, or by directly modifying the source. The display drivers can be customized by
the OEM for different panel types, resolutions and color depths only by modifying the
source.
The S1D13705 test utilities and drivers are available from your sales support contact or on
the internet at www.erd.epson.com.

11. Modify MODE0.H.
The file MODE0.H (located in x:\wince300\platform\cepc\drivers\display\S1D13705)
contains the register values required to set the screen resolution, color depth (bpp),
display type, display rotation, etc.
Before building the display driver, refer to the descriptions in the file MODE0.H for
the default settings of the console driver. If the default does not match the configuration you are building for then MODE0.H will have to be regenerated with the correct
information.
Use the program 13705CFG to generate the header file. For information on how to use
13705CFG, refer to the 13705CFG Configuration Program User Manual, document
number X27A-B-001-xx, available at www.erd.epson.com
After selecting the desired configuration, export the file as a “C Header File for
S1D13705 WinCE Drivers”. Save the new configuration as MODE0.H in the
\wince300\platform\cepc\drivers\display, replacing the original configuration file.
12. From the Platform window, click on ParameterView Tab. Show the tree for MYPLATFORM Parameters by clicking on the ‘+’ sign at the root of the tree. Expand the
the WINCE300 tree and click on “Hardware Specific Files”, then double click on
“PLATFORM.REG”. Edit the file PLATFORM.REG to match the screen resolution,
color depth, and rotation information in MODE.H.
For example, the display driver section of PLATFORM.REG should be as follows
when using a 320x240 LCD panel with a color depth of 8 bpp and a SwivelView

8. Modify MODE0.H.
The file MODE0.H (located in x:\wince300\platform\cepc\drivers\display\S1D13705)
contains the register values required to set the screen resolution, color depth (bpp),
display type, display rotation, etc.
Before building the display driver, refer to the descriptions in the file MODE0.H for
the default settings of the display driver. If the default does not match the configuration you are building for then MODE0.H will have to be regenerated with the correct
information.
Use the program 13705CFG to generate the header file. For information on how to use
13705CFG, refer to the 13705CFG Configuration Program User Manual, document
number X27A-B-001-xx, available at www.erd.epson.com
After selecting the desired configuration, export the file as a “C Header File for
S1D13705 WinCE Drivers”. Save the new configuration as MODE0.H in the
\wince300\platform\cepc\drivers\display, replacing the original configuration file.
9. Edit the file PLATFORM.REG to match the screen resolution, color depth, and rotation information in MODE.H. PLATFORM.REG is located in x:\wince300\platform\cepc\files.
For example, the display driver section of PLATFORM.REG should be as follows
when using a 320x240 LCD panel with a color depth of 8 bpp and a SwivelView
mode of 0° (landscape):
; Default for EPSON Display Driver
; 320x240 at 8 bits/pixel, LCD display, no rotation
; Useful Hex Values

Installation for CEPC Environment
Once the NK.BIN file is built, the CEPC environment can be started by booting either from a
floppy or hard drive configured with a Windows 9x operating system. The two methods are
described below.
1. To start CEPC after booting from a floppy drive:
a. Create a bootable floppy disk.
b. Edit CONFIG.SYS on the floppy disk to contain only the following line:
device=a:\himem.sys

c. Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT on the floppy disk to contain the following lines:
mode com1:9600,n,8,1
loadcepc /B:9600 /C:1 c:\nk.bin

d. Copy LOADCEPC.EXE and HIMEM.SYS to the bootable floppy disk. Search for
the loadCEPC utility in your Windows CE directories.
e. Copy NK.BIN to c:\.
f.

Boot the system from the bootable floppy disk.

2. To start CEPC after booting from a hard drive:
a. Copy LOADCEPC.EXE to C:\. Search for the loadCEPC utility in your Windows
CE directories.
b. Edit CONFIG.SYS on the hard drive to contain only the following line:
device=c:\himem.sys

c. Edit AUTOEXEC.BAT on the hard drive to contain the following lines:
mode com1:9600,n,8,1
loadcepc /B:9600 /C:1 c:\nk.bin

Configuration
There are several issues to consider when configuring the display driver. The issues cover
debugging support, register initialization values and memory allocation. Each of these
issues is discussed in the following sections.

Compile Switches
There are several switches, specific to the S1D13705 display driver, which affect the
display driver.
The switches are added or removed from the compile options in the file SOURCES.
WINCEVER

This option is automatically set to the numerical version of WinCE for version 2.12 or later.
If the environment variable, _WINCEOSVER is not defined, then WINCEVER will
default 2.11. The S1D display driver may test against this option to support different
WinCE version-specific features.
EnablePreferVmem

This option enables the use of off-screen video memory. When this option is enabled,
WinCE can optimize some BLT operations by using off-screen video memory to store
images. You may need to disable this option for systems with limited off-screen memory.
EpsonMessages

This debugging option enables the display of EPSON-specific debug messages. These
debug message are sent to the serial debugging port. This option should be disabled unless
you are debugging the display driver, as they will significantly impact the performance of
the display driver.
DEBUG_MONITOR

This option enables the use of the debug monitor. The debug monitor can be invoked when
the display driver is first loaded and can be used to view registers, and perform a few
debugging tasks. The debug monitor is still under development and is UNTESTED.
This option should remain disabled unless you are performing specific debugging tasks that
require the debug monitor.

GrayPalette

This option is intended for the support of monochrome panels only.
The option causes palette colors to be grayscaled for correct display on a mono panel. For
use with color panels this option should not be enabled.

Mode File
The MODE tables (contained in files MODE0.H, MODE1.H, MODE2.H . . .) contain
register information to control the desired display mode. The MODE tables must be
generated by the configuration program 13705CFG.EXE. The display driver comes with
example MODE tables.
By default, only MODE0.H is used by the display driver. New mode tables can be created
using the 13705CFG program. Edit the #include section of MODE.H to add the new mode
table.
If you only support a single display mode, you do not need to add any information to the
WinCE registry. If, however, you support more that one display mode, you should create
registry values (see below) that will establish the initial display mode. If your display driver
contains multiple mode tables, and if you do not add any registry values, the display driver
will default to the first mode table in your list.
To select which display mode the display driver should use upon boot, add the following
lines to your PLATFORM.REG file:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\S1D13705]
“Width”=dword:140
“Height”=dword:F0
“Bpp”=dword:8
“Rotation”=dword:0
“RefreshRate”=dword:3C
“Flags”=dword:1
Note that all dword values are in hexadecimal, therefore 140h = 320, F0h = 240, and 3Ch
= 60. The value for “Flags” should be 1 (LCD). When the display driver starts, it will read
these values in the registry and attempt to match a mode table against them. All values must
be present and valid for a match to occur, otherwise the display driver will default to the
first mode table in your list.
A WinCE desktop application (or control panel applet) can change these registry values,
and the display driver will select a different mode upon warmboot. This allows the display
driver to support different display configurations and/or orientations. An example application that controls these registry values will be made available upon the next release of the
display driver; preliminary alpha code is available by special request.

Resource Management Issues
The Windows CE 3.0 OEM must deal with certain display driver issues relevant to
Windows CE 3.0. These issues require the OEM balance factors such as: system vs. display
memory utilization, video performance, and power off capabilities.
The section “Simple Display Driver Configuration” on page 15 provides a configuration
which should work with most Windows CE platforms. This section is only intended as a
means of getting started. Once the developer has a functional system, it is recommended to
optimize the display driver configuration as described below in “Description of Windows
CE Display Driver Issues”.
Description of Windows CE Display Driver Issues

The following are some issues to consider when configuring the display driver to work with
Windows CE:
1. When Windows CE enters the Suspend state (power-off), the LCD controller and display memory may lose power, depending on how the OEM sets up the system. If display memory loses power, all images stored in display memory are lost.
If power-off/power-on features are required, the OEM has several options:
•

If display memory power is turned off, add code to the display driver to save any
images in display memory to system memory before power-off, and add code to
restore these images after power-on.

•

If display memory power is turned off, instruct Windows CE to redraw all images
upon power-on. Unfortunately it is not possible to instruct Windows CE to redraw
any off-screen images, such as icons, slider bars, etc., so in this case the OEM
must also configure the display driver to never use off-screen memory.

•

Ensure that display memory never loses power.

2. Using off-screen display memory significantly improves display performance. For example, slider bars appear more smooth when using off-screen memory. To enable or
disable the use of off-screen memory, edit the file: x:\wince300\platform\cepc\drivers\display\S1D13705\sources. In SOURCES, there is a line which, when uncommented, will instruct Windows CE to use off-screen display memory (if sufficient
display memory is available):
CDEFINES=$(CDEFINES) -DEnablePreferVmem
3. In the file PROJECT.REG under CE 3.0, there is a key called PORepaint (search the
Windows CE directories for PROJECT.REG). PORepaint is relevant when the Suspend state is entered or exited. PORepaint can be set to 0, 1, or 2 as described below:
a. PORepaint=0
•

Windows® CE 3.x Display Drivers
Issue Date: 01/05/25

This mode tells Windows CE not to save or restore display memory on suspend or resume.

S1D13705
X27A-E-006-01

Page 14

•

Since display data is not saved and not repainted, this is the FASTEST mode.

•

Main display data in display memory must NOT be corrupted or lost on suspend. The memory clock must remain running.

•

Off-screen data in display memory must NOT be corrupted or lost on suspend. The memory clock must remain running.

•

This mode cannot be used if power to the display memory is turned off.

b. PORepaint=1
•

This is the default mode for Windows CE.

•

This mode tells Windows CE to save the main display data to the system
memory on suspend.

•

This mode is used if display memory power is going to be turned off when the
system is suspended, and there is enough system memory to save the image.

•

Any off-screen data in display memory is LOST when suspended. Therefore
off-screen memory usage must either be disabled in the display driver (i.e:
EnablePreferVmem not defined in SOURCES file), or new OEM-specific
code must be added to the display driver to save off-screen data to system
memory when the system is suspended, and restored when resumed.

•

If off-screen data is used (provided that the OEM has provided code to save
off-screen data when the system suspends), additional code must be added to
the display driver’s surface allocation routine to prevent the display driver
from allocating the “main memory save region” in display memory. When
WinCE OS attempts to allocate a buffer to save the main display data, WinCE
OS marks the allocation request as preferring display memory. We believe
this is incorrect. Code must be added to prevent this specific allocation from
being allocated in display memory - it MUST be allocated from system memory.

•

Since the main display data is copied to system memory on suspend, and then
simply copied back on resume, this mode is FAST, but not as fast as mode 0.

c. PORepaint=2

S1D13705
X27A-E-006-01

•

This mode tells WinCE to not save the main display data on suspend, and
causes WinCE to REPAINT the main display on resume.

•

This mode is used if display memory power is going to be turned off when the
system is suspended, and there is not enough system memory to save the image.

•

Any off-screen data in display memory is LOST, and since there is insufficient system memory to save display data, off-screen memory usage MUST
be disabled.

•

When the system is resumed, WinCE instructs all running applications to repaint themselves. This is the SLOWEST of the three modes.

Simple Display Driver Configuration

The following display driver configuration should work with most platforms running
Windows CE. This configuration disables the use of off-screen display memory and forces
the system to redraw the main display upon power-on.
1. This step disables the use of off-screen display memory.
Edit the file x:\wince300\platform\cepc\drivers\display\S1D13705\sources and
change the line
CDEFINES=$(CDEFINES) -DEnablePreferVmem
to
#CDEFINES=$(CDEFINES) -DEnablePreferVmem
2. This step causes the system to redraw the main display upon power-on. This step is
only required if display memory loses power when Windows CE is shut down. If display memory is kept powered up (set the S1D13705 in powersave mode), then the display data will be maintained and this step can be skipped.
Search for the file PROJECT.REG in your Windows CE directories, and inside
PROJECT.REG find the key PORepaint. Change PORepaint as follows:
“PORepaint”=dword:2

Comments
• The display driver is CPU independent, allowing use of the driver for several Windows
CE Platform Builder supported platforms.
• If you are running 13705CFG.EXE to produce multiple MODE tables, make sure you
change the Mode Number in the WinCE tab for each mode table you generate. The
display driver supports multiple mode tables, but only if each mode table has a unique
mode number.
• At this time, the drivers have been tested on the x86 CPUs and have been built with Platform Builder v3.00.

2 Interfacing to the TMPR3912
The Toshiba MIPS TMPR3912 processor supports up to two PC Card (PCMCIA) slots. It
is through this host bus interface that the S1D13705 connects to the TMPR3912 processor.
The S1D13705 can be successfully interfaced using one of two configurations:
• Direct connection to TMPR3912.
• System design using one ITE IT8368E PC Card/GPIO buffer chip.

3 S1D13705 Host Bus Interface
This section is a summary of the host bus interface modes available on the S1D13705 that
would be used to interface to the TMPR3912.
The S1D13705 implements a 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor which may operate
in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded microprocessor
families. The interface modes used for the TMPR3912 are:

3.2 Generic #1 Interface Mode
Generic #1 interface mode is the most general and least processor-specific interface mode
on the S1D13705. The Generic # 1 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the
simplicity of its timing.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which is required by the S1D13705 host interface. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• WE0# and WE1# are write enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is writing data to the S1D13705. These signals
must be generated by external hardware based on the control outputs from the host CPU.
• RD# and RD/WR# are read enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is reading data from the S1D13705. These signals
must be generated by external hardware based on the control outputs from the host CPU.
• WAIT# is a signal output from the S1D13705 that indicates the host CPU must wait
until data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host CPU
accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is possible
that contention may occur in accessing the S1D13705 internal registers and/or refresh
memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait until the
resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be inverted if
the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) signal is not used in the bus interface for Generic #1 mode.
However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for Generic #1 mode and should be
tied low (connected to GND).

3.3 Generic #2 Interface Mode
Generic #2 interface mode is a general and non-processor-specific interface mode on the
S1D13705. The Generic # 2 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the
simplicity of its timing and compatibility with the TMPR3912 control signals.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which synchronizes transfers between the host CPU and the
S1D13705. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host
CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• WE1# is the high byte enable for both read and write cycles for the S1D13705, to be
driven low when the host CPU accesses the S1D13705.
• WE0# is the write enable for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU is
reading data from the S1D13705.
• RD# is the read enable for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU is
reading data from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal which is output from the S1D13705 to the host CPU that indicates
when data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host
CPU accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is
possible that contention may occur in accessing the 13705 internal registers and/or
refresh memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait
until the resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be
inverted if the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) and Read/Write (RD/WR#) signals are not used in the bus interface for Generic #2 mode. However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for
Generic #2 mode and should be tied high (connected to IO VDD). RD/WR# should also
be tied high.

4 Direct Connection to the Toshiba TMPR3912
4.1 General Description
In this example implementation, the S1D13705 occupies the TMPR3912 PC Card slot #1.
The S1D13705 is easily interfaced to the TMPR3912 with minimal additional logic. The
address bus of the TMPR3912 PC Card interface is multiplexed and must be demultiplexed
using an advanced CMOS latch (e.g., 74AHC373). The direct connection approach makes
use of the S1D13705 in its “Generic Interface #2” configuration.
The following diagram demonstrates a typical implementation of the interface.

Note:

conditions that may reset the S1D13705 (e.g. CPU reset can be asserted during wake-up
from power-down modes, or during debug states).

The “Generic #2” host interface control signals of the S1D13705 are asynchronous with
respect to the S1D13705 bus clock. This gives the system designer full flexibility to choose
the appropriate source (or sources) for CLKI and BCLK. The choice of whether both clocks
should be the same, and whether to use DCLKOUT (divided) as clock source, should be
based on the desired:
• pixel and frame rates.
• power budget.
• part count.
• maximum S1D13705 clock frequencies.
The S1D13705 also has internal clock dividers providing additional flexibility.

4.2 Memory Mapping and Aliasing
In this example implementation the TMPR3912 control signal CARDREG* is ignored;
therefore the S1D13705 takes up the entire PC Card slot 1.
The S1D13705 requires an addressing space of 128K bytes. The on-chip display memory
occupies the range 0 through 13FFFh. The registers occupy the range 1FFE0h through
1FFFFh. The TMPR3912 demultiplexed address lines A17 and above are ignored, thus the
S1D13705 is aliased 512 times at 128K byte intervals over the 64M byte PC Card slot #1
memory space.
Note

If aliasing is undesirable, additional decoding circuitry must be added.

4.3 S1D13705 Configuration
The S1D13705 is configured at power up by latching the state of the CNF[3:0] pins. Pin
BS# also plays a role in host bus interface configuration. For details on configuration, refer
to the S1D13705 Hardware Functional Specification, document number X27A-A-001-xx.

approach.

5 Using the ITE IT8368E PC Card Buffer
If the system designer uses the ITE IT8368E PC Card and multiple-function I/O buffer, the
S1D13705 can be interfaced so that it “shares” a PC Card slot. The S1D13705 is mapped
to a rarely-used 16M byte portion of the PC Card slot buffered by the IT8368E, making the
S1D13705 virtually transparent to PC Card devices that use the same slot.

5.1 Hardware Description
The ITE8368E has been specially designed to support EPSON LCD controllers and
provides eleven Multi-Function IO pins (MFIO). Configuration registers may be used to
allow these MFIO pins to provide the control signals required to implement the S1D13705
CPU interface.
The TMPR3912 processor only provides addresses A[12:0], therefore devices requiring
more address space must use an external device to latch A[25:13]. The IT8368E’s MFIO
pins can be configured to provide this latched address.

respective clock frequencies. Also, internal S1D13705 clock dividers provide additional
flexibility.

5.2 IT8368E Configuration
The IT8368E provides eleven multi-function IO pins (MFIO). The IT8368E must have
both “Fix Attribute/IO” and “VGA” modes on. When both these modes are enabled, the
MFIO pins provide control signals needed by the S1D13705 host bus interface, and a 16M
byte portion of the system PC Card attribute and IO space is allocated to address the
S1D13705. When accessing the S1D13705 the associated card-side signals are disabled in
order to avoid any conflicts.
For mapping details, refer to section 3.3: “Memory Mapping and Aliasing.” For connection
details see Figure 5-1: “S1D13705 to TMPR3912 Connection Using an IT8368E,” on page
15. For further information on the IT8368E, refer to the IT8368E PC Card/GPIO Buffer
Chip Specification.
Note

When a second IT8368E is used, that circuit should not be set in VGA mode.

5.3 Memory Mapping and Aliasing
When the TMPR3912 accesses the PC Card slots without the ITE IT8368E, its system
memory is mapped as in Table 5-1: TMPR3912 to PC Card Slots Address Mapping With
and Without the IT8368E.
Note

Bit CARD1IOEN or CARD2IOEN, depending on which card slot is used, must to be set
to 0 in the TMPR3912 Memory Configuration Register 3.
When the TMPR3912 accesses the PC Card slots buffered through the ITE IT8368E, bits
CARD1IOEN and CARD2IOEN are ignored and the attribute/IO space of the TMPR3912
is divided into Attribute, I/O and S1D13705 access. Details of the Attribute/IO address
reallocation by the IT8368E are found in Table 5-1: TMPR3912 to PC Card Slots Address
Mapping With and Without the IT8368E.

1 S1D13705 Power Consumption
S1D13705 power consumption is affected by many system design variables.
• Input clock frequency (CLKI): the CLKI frequency and the internal clock divide register determine the operating clock (CLK) frequency of the S1D13705. The higher CLK is, the higher the
frame fate, performance, and power consumption.
• CPU interface: the S1D13705 current consumption depends on the BUSCLK frequency, data
width, number of toggling pins, and other factors – the higher the BUSCLK, the higher the CPU
performance and power consumption.
• VDD voltage levels (Core and IO): the voltage level of the Core and IO sections in the S1D13705
affects power consumption – the higher the voltage, the higher the consumption.
• Display mode: the resolution, panel type, and color depth affect power consumption. The higher
the resolution/color depth and number of LCD panel signals, the higher the power consumption.
Note
If the High Performance option is turned on, the power consumption increases to that of
8 bit-per-pixel mode for all color depths.
There are two power save modes in the S1D13705: Software and Hardware Power Save. The power
consumption of these modes is affected by various system design variables.
• CPU bus state during Power Save: the state of the CPU bus signals during Power Save has a
substantial effect on power consumption. An inactive bus (e.g. BUSCLK = low, Addr = low etc.)
reduces overall system power consumption.
• CLKI state during Power Save: disabling the CLKI during Power Save has substantial power
savings.

2 Summary
The system design variables in Section 1, “S1D13705 Power Consumption” and in Table 1-1:
“S1D13705 Total Power Consumption” show that S1D13705 power consumption depends on the
specific implementation. Active Mode power consumption depends on the desired CPU performance and LCD frame-rate, whereas Power Save Mode consumption depends on the CPU Interface
and Input Clock state.
In a typical design environment, the S1D13705 can be configured to be an extremely power-efficient
LCD Controller with high performance and flexibility.

1 Introduction
This application note describes the hardware required to interface the S1D13705
Embedded Memory LCD Controller and the Motorola “Dragonball” family of microprocessors. Each “Dragonball” microprocessor, the MC68328, the MC68EZ328, and the
MC68VZ328, will be described in their own sections.
By implementing an embedded display refresh buffer, the S1D13705 can reduce system
power consumption, improve image quality, and increase system performance as compared
to the Dragonball’s on-chip LCD controller.
The designs described in this document are presented only as examples of how such
interfaces might be implemented. This application note will be updated as appropriate.
Please check the Epson Electronics America website at http://www.eea.epson.com for the

2 Interfacing to the MC68328
2.1 The MC68328 System Bus
The MC68328 is the first generation of Motorola’s Dragonball microprocessors. The
MC68328 is an integrated controller for handheld products, based upon the MC68EC000
microprocessor core. It implements a 16-bit data bus and a 32-bit address bus. The bus
interface consists of all the standard MC68EC000 bus interface signals, plus some new
signals intended to simplify the task of interfacing to typical memory and peripheral
devices.
The MC68EC000 bus control signals are well documented in Motorola’s user manuals, and
will not be described here. A brief summary of the new signals appears below:
• Output Enable (OE) is asserted when a read cycle is in process; it is intended to connect
to the output enable control of a typical static RAM, EPROM, or Flash EPROM device.
• Upper Write Enable and Lower Write Enable (UWE / LWE) are asserted during
memory write cycles for the upper and lower bytes of the 16-bit data bus; they may be
directly connected to the write enable inputs of a typical memory device.
The S1D13705 implements the MC68EC000 bus interface using its MC68K #1 mode, so
this mode may be used to connect the MC68328 directly to the S1D13705 with no glue
logic. However, several of the MC68EC000 bus control signals are multiplexed with IO
and interrupt signals on the MC68328, and in many applications it may be desirable to
make these pins available for these alternate functions. This requirement may be accommodated through the use of the Generic #1 interface mode on the S1D13705.

2.2 Chip-Select Module
The MC68328 can generate up to 16 chip select outputs, organized into four groups, “A”
through “D”.
Each chip select group has a common base address register and address mask register, to
set the base address and block size of the entire group. In addition, each chip select within
a group has its own address compare and address mask register, to activate the chip select
for a subset of the group’s address block. Finally, each chip select may be individually
programmed to control an 8 or 16-bit device, and each may be individually programmed to
generate from 0 through 6 wait states internally, or allow the memory or peripheral device
to terminate the cycle externally through use of the standard MC68000 DTACK signal.
Groups A and B can have a minimum block size of 64K bytes, so these are typically used
to control memory devices. Chip select A0 is active immediately after reset, so it is
typically used to control a boot EPROM device. Groups C and D have a minimum block
size of 4K bytes, so they are well-suited to controlling peripheral devices. Chip select D3
is associated with the MC68328 on-chip PCMCIA control logic.

2.3 S1D13705 Host Bus Interface
This section is a summary of the host bus interface modes available on the S1D13705 that
may be used to interface to the MC68328.
The S1D13705 implements a 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor which may operate
in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded microprocessor
families. The two interface modes that may be used for the MC68328 are:
• Motorola MC68K #1 (using Upper Data Strobe / Lower Data Strobe).
• Generic #1 (Chip Select, plus individual Read Enable/Write Enable for each byte).

2.3.2 Generic #1 Interface Mode
Generic #1 interface mode is the most general and least processor-specific interface mode
on the S1D13705. The Generic # 1 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the
simplicity of its timing.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which is required by the S1D13705 host interface. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• WE0# and WE1# are write enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is writing data to the S1D13705. These signals
must be generated by external hardware based on the control outputs from the host CPU.
• RD# and RD/WR# are read enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is reading data from the S1D13705. These signals
must be generated by external hardware based on the control outputs from the host CPU.
• WAIT# is a signal output from the S1D13705 that indicates the host CPU must wait
until data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host CPU
accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is possible
that contention may occur in accessing the S1D13705 internal registers and/or refresh
memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait until the
resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be inverted if
the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) signal is not used in the bus interface for Generic #1 mode.
However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for Generic #1 mode and should be
tied low (connected to GND).

2.3.3 MC68K #1 Interface Mode
The MC68K #1 Interface Mode can be used to interface to the MC68328 microprocessor
if the previously mentioned, multiplexed, bus signals will not be used for other purposes.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which synchronizes transfers between the host CPU and the
S1D13705. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host
CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB1 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• A0 and WE1# are the enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively, to be
driven low when the host CPU is reading or writing data to the S1D13705.
• RD/WR# is the read/write signal that is driven low when the CPU writes to the
S1D13705 and is driven high when the CPU is doing a read from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal which is output from the S1D13705 to the host CPU that indicates
when data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host
CPU accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is
possible that contention may occur in accessing the S1D13705 internal registers and/or
refresh memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait
until the resource arbitration is complete.
• The Bus Status (BS#) signal indicates that the address on the address bus is valid.
• The WE0# and RD# signals is not used in the bus interface for MC68K #1 and must be
tied high (tied to IO VDD).

2.4 MC68328 To S1D13705 Interface
2.4.1 Hardware Description
The interface between the MC68328 and the S1D13705 can be implemented using either
the MC68K #1 or Generic #1 host bus interface of the S1D13705.
Using The MC68K #1 Host Bus Interface
The MC68328 multiplexes dual functions on some of its bus control pins (specifically
UDS, LDS, and DTACK). In implementations where all of these pins are available for use
as bus control pins, then the S1D13705 interface is a straightforward implementation of the
“MC68K #1” host bus interface.
The following diagram shows a typical implementation of the MC68328 to S1D13705
using the MC68K #1 host bus interface. For further information on the MC68K #1 host bus
interface and AC Timing, refer to the S1D13705 Hardware Functional Specification,
document number X27A-A-001-xx.

Note:
When connecting the S1D13705 RESET# pin, the system designer should be aware of all
conditions that may reset the S1D13705 (e.g. CPU reset can be asserted during wake-up
from power-down modes, or during debug states).

Using The Generic #1 Host Bus Interface
If UDS and/or LDS are required for their alternate IO functions, then the MC68328 to
S1D13705 interface may be implemented using the S1D13705 Generic #1 host bus
interface. Note that in either case, the DTACK signal must be made available for the
S1D13705, since it inserts a variable number of wait states depending upon CPU/LCD
synchronization and the LCD panel display mode. WAIT# must be inverted (using an
inverter enabled by CS#) to make it an active high signal and thus compatible with the

2.4.3 MC68328 Chip Select Configuration
The S1D13705 requires a 128K byte address space for the display buffer and its internal
registers. To accommodate this block size, it is preferable (but not required) to use one of
the chip selects from groups A or B. Virtually any chip select other than CSA0 or CSD3
would be suitable for the S1D13705 interface.
In the example interface, chip select CSB3 is used to control the S1D13705. A 128K byte
address space is used with the S1D13705 control registers mapped into the top 32 bytes of
the 128K byte block and the 80K bytes of display buffer mapped to the starting address of
the block. The chip select should have its RO (Read Only) bit set to 0, its BSW (Bus Data

3 Interfacing to the MC68EZ328
3.1 The MC68EZ328 System Bus
The MC68EZ328 is Motorola’s second generation Dragonball microprocessor. The
DragonballEZ is an integrated controller for handheld products, based upon the
MC68EC000 microprocessor core. The DragonballEZ differs from its predecessor mainly
in that it has increased speed, a DRAM controller, infrared communication, and an incircuit emulator. The bus interface has also been simplified; it implements a 16-bit data bus
and a 24-bit address bus. The bus interface is based on the standard MC68EC000 bus
interface signals although the data bus byte lane control signals of the MC68EC000 bus
interface (UDS and LDS - upper and lower data strobes) have been replaced by some new
signals intended to simplify the task of interfacing to typical memory and peripheral
devices.
The MC68EC000 bus control signals are well documented in Motorola’s user manuals, and
will not be described here. A brief summary of the new signals appears below:
• Output Enable (OE) is asserted when a read cycle is in process; it is intended to connect
to the output enable control of a typical static RAM, EPROM, or Flash EPROM device.
• Upper Write Enable and Lower Write Enable (UWE / LWE) are asserted during
memory write cycles for the upper and lower bytes of the 16-bit data bus; they may be
directly connected to the write enable inputs of a typical memory device.
The S1D13705 implements the MC68000 bus interface using its MC68K #1 mode but this
mode requires the MC68EC000 control signals UDS and LDS so this mode cannot be used
to connect the MC68EZ328 directly to the S1D13705. However, the Generic #1 interface
mode on the S1D13705 is well suited to interface to the MC68EZ328.

3.2 Chip-Select Module
The MC68EZ328 can generate up to 8 chip select outputs, organized into four groups “A”
through “D”.
Each chip select group has a common base address register and address mask register, to
set the base address and block size of the entire group. In addition, each chip select within
a group has its own address compare and address mask register, to activate the chip select
for a subset of the group’s address block. Finally, each chip select may be individually
programmed to control an 8 or 16-bit device, and each may be individually programmed to
generate from 0 through 6 wait states internally, or allow the memory or allow the memory
or peripheral device to terminate the cycle externally through use of the standard MC68000
DTACK signal.
Groups A and B are used to control ROM, SRAM, and Flash memory devices and have a
block size of 128K bytes to 16M bytes. Chip select A0 is active immediately after reset and
is a global chip-select so it is typically used to control a boot EPROM device. This chip

select ceases to decode globally once this chip-select’s registers are programmed. Groups
C and D are special in that they can also control DRAM interfaces. These last two groups
have block size of 32K bytes to 4M bytes.

3.3 S1D13705 Host Bus Interface
This section is a summary of the host bus interface modes available on the S1D13705 that
may be used to interface to the MC68EZ328.
The S1D13705 implements a 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor which may operate
in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded microprocessor
families. The interface mode that may be used for the MC68EZ328 is:
• Generic #1 (Chip Select, plus individual Read Enable/Write Enable for each byte).

3.3.2 Generic #1 Interface Mode
Generic #1 interface mode is the most general and least processor-specific interface mode
on the S1D13705. The Generic # 1 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the
simplicity of its timing.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which is required by the S1D13705 host interface. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• WE0# and WE1# are write enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is writing data to the S1D13705. These signals
must be generated by external hardware based on the control outputs from the host CPU.
• RD# and RD/WR# are read enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is reading data from the S1D13705. These signals
must be generated by external hardware based on the control outputs from the host CPU.
• WAIT# is a signal output from the S1D13705 that indicates the host CPU must wait
until data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host CPU
accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is possible
that contention may occur in accessing the S1D13705 internal registers and/or refresh
memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait until the
resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be inverted if
the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) signal is not used in the bus interface for Generic #1 mode.
However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for Generic #1 mode and should be
tied low (connected to GND).

3.4 MC683EZ28 To S1D13705 Interface
3.4.1 Hardware Description
The interface between the MC68328 and the S1D13705 can be implemented using the
Generic #1 host bus interface of the S1D13705.
The DTACK signal must be made available for the S1D13705, since it inserts a variable
number of wait states depending upon CPU/LCD synchronization and the LCD panel
display mode. WAIT# must be inverted (using an inverter enabled by CS#) to make it an
active high signal and thus compatible with the MC68EZ328 architecture. A single resistor
is used to pull up WAIT# (DTACK) signal when terminating the bus cycle.
The following diagram shows a typical implementation of the MC68EZ328 to S1D13705
using the Generic #1 host bus interface. For further information on the Generic #1 host bus
interface and AC Timing, refer to the S1D13705 Hardware Functional Specification,

4 Interfacing to the MC68VZ328
4.1 The MC68VZ328 System Bus
The MC68VZ328 is Motorola’s third generation Dragonball microprocessor. The DragonballVZ is an integrated controller for handheld products, based upon the FLX68000 microprocessor core with an external 24-bit address bus and 16-bit data bus. The DragonballVZ
differs from its predecessor mainly in that it has increased speed, and support for SDRAM
has been added to the DRAM controller. The bus interface consists of all the standard
MC68000 bus interface signals except AS, plus some new signals intended to simplify the
task of interfacing to typical memory and peripheral devices. The 68000 signals are multiplexed with IrDA, SPI and LCD controller signals.
The MC68000 bus control signals are well documented in Motorola’s user manuals, and
will not be described here. A brief summary of the new signals appears below:
• Output Enable (OE) is asserted when a read cycle is in process; it is intended to connect
to the output enable control of a typical static RAM, EPROM, or Flash EPROM device.
• Upper Write Enable and Lower Write Enable (UWE / LWE) are asserted during
memory write cycles for the upper and lower bytes of the 16-bit data bus; they may be
directly connected to the write enable inputs of a typical memory device.
The S1D13705 implements the MC68000 bus interface using its MC68K #1 mode. This
mode may be used to interface the S1D13705 to the DragonballVZ if external logic is used
to generate AS. The Generic #1 interface mode on the S1D13705 is also well suited to
interface to the MC68VZ328.

4.2 Chip-Select Module
The MC68VZ328 can generate up to 8 chip select outputs, organized into four groups, “A”
through “D”.
Each chip select group has a common base address register and address mask register, to
set the base address and block size of the entire group. In addition, each chip select within
a group has its own address compare and address mask register, to activate the chip select
for a subset of the group’s address block. Finally, each chip select may be individually
programmed to control an 8 or 16-bit device, and each may be individually programmed to
generate from 0 through 6 wait states internally, or allow the memory or peripheral device
to terminate the cycle externally through use of the standard MC68000 DTACK signal.
Groups A and B are used to control ROM, SRAM, and Flash memory devices and have a
block size of 128K bytes to 16M bytes. Chip select A0 is active immediately after reset and
is a global chip-select so it is typically used to control a boot EPROM device. This chip
select ceases to decode globally once this chip-select’s registers are programmed. Groups
C and D are special in that they can also control DRAM interfaces. These last two groups
have block size of 32K bytes to 4M bytes.

4.3.3 MC68K #1 Interface Mode
The MC68K #1 Interface Mode can be used to interface to the MC68VZ328 microprocessor if the previously mentioned, multiplexed, bus signals will not be used for other
purposes.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which synchronizes transfers between the host CPU and the
S1D13705. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host
CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB1 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• A0 and WE1# are the enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively, to be
driven low when the host CPU is reading or writing data to the S1D13705.
• RD/WR# is the read/write signal that is driven low when the CPU writes to the
S1D13705 and is driven high when the CPU is doing a read from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal which is output from the S1D13705 to the host CPU that indicates
when data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host
CPU accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is
possible that contention may occur in accessing the S1D13705 internal registers and/or
refresh memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait
until the resource arbitration is complete.
• The Bus Status (BS#) signal indicates that the address on the address bus is valid.
• The WE0# and RD# signals is not used in the bus interface for MC68K #1 and must be
tied high (tied to IO VDD).

4.4 MC68VZ328 To S1D13705 Interface
4.4.1 Hardware Description
The interface between the MC68VZ328 and the S1D13705 can be implemented using
either the MC68K #1 or Generic #1 host bus interface of the S1D13705.
Using The MC68K #1 Host Bus Interface
The MC68VZ328 multiplexes dual functions on some of its bus control pins (specifically
UDS, LDS, and DTACK). In implementations where all of these pins are available for use
as bus control pins, then the S1D13705 interface is a straightforward implementation of the
“MC68K #1” host bus interface. Since AS is not provided by the DragonballVZ, CSB1 is
connected to BS# and indicates that a valid address is on the bus.
The following diagram shows a typical implementation of the MC68VZ328 to S1D13705
using the MC68K #1 host bus interface. For further information on the MC68K #1 host bus
interface and AC Timing, refer to the S1D13705 Hardware Functional Specification,
document number X27A-A-001-xx.

conditions that may reset the S1D13705 (e.g. CPU reset can be asserted during wake-up
from power-down modes, or during debug states).

Using The Generic #1 Host Bus Interface
The DTACK signal must be made available for the S1D13705, since it inserts a variable
number of wait states depending upon CPU/LCD synchronization and the LCD panel
display mode. WAIT# must be inverted (using an inverter enabled by CS#) to make it an
active high signal and thus compatible with the MC68VZ328 architecture. A single resistor
is used to pull up the WAIT# (DTACK) signal when terminating the bus cycle.
The following diagram shows a typical implementation of the MC68VZ328 to S1D13705
using the Generic #1 host bus interface. For further information on the Generic #1 host bus
interface and AC Timing, refer to the S1D13705 Hardware Functional Specification,
document number X27A-A-001-xx.

4.4.3 MC68VZ328 Chip Select and Pin Configuration
The S1D13705 requires a 128K byte address space for the display buffer and its internal
registers. To accommodate this block size, it is preferable (but not required) to use one of
the chip selects from groups A or B. Groups A and B can have a size range of 128K bytes
to 16M bytes and groups C and D have a size range of 32K bytes to 16M bytes. Therefore,
any chip select other than CSA0 would be suitable for the S1D13705 interface.
In the example interface, chip select CSB1 is used to control the S1D13705. A 128K byte
address space is used with the S1D13705 control registers mapped into the top 32 bytes of
the 128K byte block and the 80K bytes of display buffer mapped to the starting address of
the block. The chip select should have its RO (Read Only) bit set to 0, its BSW (Bus Data
Width) set to 1 for a 16-bit bus, and the WS (Wait states) bit should be set to 111b to allow
the S1D13705 to terminate bus cycles externally with DTACK. Enable DTACK pin
function with Register FFFFF433, Port G Select Register, bit 0.
Additional registers must be configured if the M68K #1 host bus interface is used. LDS,
UDS and R/W must be enabled by setting register FFFFFF443h bits 1, 2, and 3 to zero to
enable the internal 68000 pin functions.

2 Interfacing to the NEC VR4102/VR4111
2.1 The NEC VR4102/VR4111 System Bus
The VR-Series family of microprocessors features a high-speed synchronous system bus
typical of modern microprocessors. Designed with external LCD controller support and
Windows CE-based embedded consumer applications in mind, the VR4102/VR4111 offers
a highly integrated solution for portable systems. This section is an overview of the
operation of the CPU bus to establish interface requirements.

2.1.1 Overview
The NEC VR4102/VR4111 is designed around the RISC architecture developed by MIPS.
This microprocessor is designed around the 66MHz VR4100 CPU core which supports 64bit processing. The CPU communicates with the Bus Control Unit (BCU) with its internal
SysAD bus. The BCU in turn communicates with external devices with its ADD and DAT
buses that can be dynamically sized to 16 or 32-bit operation.
The NEC VR4102/VR4111 has direct support for an external LCD controller. Specific
control signals are assigned for an external LCD controller that provide an easy interface to
the CPU. A 16M byte block of memory is assigned for the LCD controller with its own chip
select and ready signals available. Word or byte accesses are controlled by the system high
byte signal, SHB#.

2.1.2 LCD Memory Access Cycles
Once an address in the LCD block of memory is placed on the external address bus,
ADD[25:0], the LCD chip select, LCDCS#, is driven low. The read or write enable signals,
RD# and WR#, are driven low for the appropriate cycle. LCDRDY is driven low by the
S1D13705 to insert wait states into the cycle. The high byte enable is driven low for 16-bit
transfers and high for 8-bit transfers.
Figure 2-1: “NEC VR4102/VR4111 Read/Write Cycles,” on page 9 shows the read and
write cycles to the LCD Controller Interface.

3 S1D13705 Host Bus Interface
This section is a summary of the host bus interface modes available on the S1D13705 that
would be used to interface to the VR4102/VR4111.
The S1D13705 implements a 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor which may operate
in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded microprocessor
families. The interface mode used for the VR4102/VR4111 is:
• Generic #2 (External Chip Select, shared Read/Write Enable for high byte, individual
Read/Write Enable for low byte).

3.2 Generic #2 Interface Mode
Generic #2 interface mode is a general and non-processor-specific interface mode on the
S1D13705. The Generic # 2 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the
simplicity of its timing and compatibility with the VR4102/VR4111 control signals.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which synchronizes transfers between the host CPU and the
S1D13705. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host
CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• WE1# is the high byte enable for both read and write cycles.
• WE0# is the write enable for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU is
writing data to the S1D13705.
• RD# is the read enable for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU is
reading data from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal which is output from the S1D13705 to the host CPU that indicates
when data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host
CPU accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is
possible that contention may occur in accessing the 13705 internal registers and/or
refresh memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait
until the resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be
inverted if the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) and Read/Write (RD/WR#) signals are not used in the bus interface for Generic #2 mode. However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for
Generic #2 mode and should be tied high (connected to IO VDD). RD/WR# should also
be tied high.

4 VR4102/VR4111 to S1D13705 Interface
4.1 Hardware Description
The NEC VR4102/VR4111 Microprocessor is specifically designed to support an external
LCD controller by providing the internal address decoding and control signals necessary.
By using the Generic # 2 interface, no glue logic is required to interface the S1D13705 and
the NEC VR4102/VR4111. A pull-up resistor is attached to WAIT# to speed up its rise time
when terminating a cycle.
The following diagram shows a typical implementation of the VR4102/VR4111 to
S1D13705 interface.

4.3 NEC VR4102/VR4111 Configuration
The NEC VR4102/VR4111 provides the internal address decoding necessary to map to an
external LCD controller. Physical address 0A000000h to 0AFFFFFFh (16M bytes) is
reserved for an external LCD controller.
The S1D13705 supports up to 80K bytes of display buffer memory and 32 bytes for internal
registers. Therefore, the S1D13705 will be shadowed over the entire 16M byte memory
range at 128K byte segments. The starting address of the display buffer is 0A000000h and
register 0 of the S1D13705 (REG[00h]) resides at 0A01FFE0h.
The NEC VR4102/VR4111 has a 16-bit internal register named BCUCNTREG2 located at
address 0B000002h. It must be set to the value of 0001h to indicate that LCD controller
accesses use a non-inverting data bus.
The 16-bit internal register named BCUCNTREG1, located at address 0B000000h, must
have bit D[13] (ISA/LCD bit) set to 0 to reserve the 16M bytes space, 0A000000h to
0AFFFFFFh, for LCD use and not as ISA bus memory space.

2 Interfacing to the PC Card Bus
2.1 The PC Card System Bus
PC Card technology has gained wide acceptance in the mobile computing field as well as
in other markets due to its portability and ruggedness. This section is an overview of the
operation of the 16-bit PC Card interface conforming to the PCMCIA 2.0/JEIDA 4.1
Standard (or later).

2.1.1 PC Card Overview
The 16-bit PC Card provides a 26-bit address bus and additional control lines which allow
access to three 64M byte address ranges. These ranges are used for common memory space,
IO space, and attribute memory space. Common memory may be accessed by a host system
for memory read and write operations. Attribute memory is used for defining card specific
information such as configuration registers, card capabilities, and card use. IO space
maintains software and hardware compatibility with hosts such as the Intel x86
architecture, which address peripherals independently from memory space.
Bit notation follows the convention used by most microprocessors, the high bit is the most
significant. Therefore, signals A25 and D15 are the most significant bits for the address and
data bus respectively.
Support is provided for on-chip DMA controllers. To find further information on these
topics, refer to Section 6, “References” on page 15.
PC Card bus signals are asynchronous to the host CPU bus signals. Bus cycles are started
with the assertion of either the CE1# and/or the CE2# card enable signals. The cycle ends
once these signals are de-asserted. Bus cycles can be lengthened using the WAIT# signal.
Note

The PCMCIA 2.0/JEIDA 4.1 (and later) PC Card Standard support the two signals
WAIT# and RESET which are not supported in earlier versions of the standard. The
WAIT# signal allows for asynchronous data transfers for memory, attribute, and IO access cycles. The RESET signal allows resetting of the card configuration by the reset
line of the host CPU.

2.1.2 Memory Access Cycles
A data transfer is initiated when the memory address is placed on the PC Card bus and one,
or both, of the card enable signals (CE1# and CE2#) are driven low. REG# must be kept
inactive. If only CE1# is driven low, 8-bit data transfers are enabled and A0 specifies
whether the even or odd data byte appears on data bus lines D[7:0]. If both CE1# and CE2#
are driven low, a 16-bit word transfer takes place. If only CE2# is driven low, an odd byte
transfer occurs on data lines D[15:8].

During a read cycle, OE# (output enable) is driven low. A write cycle is specified by
driving OE# high and driving the write enable signal (WE#) low. The cycle can be
lengthened by driving WAIT# low for the time needed to complete the cycle.
Figure 2-1: and Figure 2-2: illustrate typical memory access cycles on the PC Card bus.

3 S1D13705 Bus Interface
This section is a summary of the host bus interface modes available on the S1D13705 that
would be used to interface to the PC Card bus.
The S1D13705 implements a 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor which may operate
in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded microprocessor
families. The interface mode used for the PC Card bus is:
• Generic #2 (External Chip Select, shared Read/Write Enable for high byte, individual
Read/Write Enable for low byte).

3.1 Host Bus Pin Connection
The following table shows the functions of the host bus interface signals.

3.2 Generic #2 Interface Mode
Generic #2 interface mode is a general and non-processor-specific interface mode on the
S1D13705. The Generic # 2 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the
simplicity of its timing and compatibility with the PC Card bus control signals.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which synchronizes transfers between the host CPU and the
S1D13705. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host
CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• WE1# is the high byte enable for both read and write cycles.
• WE0# is the write enable for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU is
writing data to the S1D13705.
• RD# is the read enable for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU is
reading data from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal which is output from the S1D13705 to the host CPU that indicates
when data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host
CPU accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is
possible that contention may occur in accessing the 13705 internal registers and/or
refresh memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait
until the resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be
inverted if the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) and Read/Write (RD/WR#) signals are not used in the bus interface for Generic #2 mode. However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for
Generic #2 mode and should be tied high (connected to IO VDD). RD/WR# should also
be tied high.

4 PC Card to S1D13705 Interface
4.1 Hardware Connections
The S1D13705 is interfaced to the PC Card bus with a minimal amount of glue logic. In
this implementation, the address inputs (AB[16:0]) and data bus (DB[15:0] connect directly
to the CPU address (A[16:0]) and data bus (D[15:0]).
The PC Card interface does not provide a bus clock, so one must be supplied for the
S1D13705. Since the bus clock frequency is not critical, nor does it have to be synchronous
to the bus signals, it may be the same as CLKI.
BS# (bus start) is not used by Generic #2 mode but is used to configure the S1D13705 for
either Generic #1 or Generic #2 bus and should be tied high (connected to IO VDD).
RD/WR# is also not used by Generic #2 bus and should be tied high (connected to IO VDD).
The following diagram shows a typical implementation of the PC Card to S1D13705
interface.

Note:
When connecting the S1D13705 RESET# pin, the system designer should be aware of all
conditions that may reset the S1D13705 (e.g. CPU reset can be asserted during wake-up
from power-down modes, or during debug states).

4.2 S1D13705 Hardware Configuration
The S1D13705 uses CNF3 through CNF0 and BS# to allow selection of the bus mode and
other configuration data on the rising edge of RESET#. Refer to the S1D13705 Hardware
Functional Specification, document number X27A-A-001-xx for details.

interface.

4.3 Register/Memory Mapping
The S1D13705 is a memory mapped device. The S1D13705 memory may be addressed
starting at 0000h, or on consecutive 128K byte blocks, and its internal registers are located
in the upper 32 bytes of the 128K byte block (i.e. REG[0] = 1FFE0h).
While the PC Card socket provides 64M bytes of memory address space, the S1D13705
only needs a 128K byte block of memory to accommodate its 80K byte display buffer and
its 32 byte register set. For this reason only address bits A[16:0] are used while A[25:17]
are ignored. Because the entire 64M bytes of memory is available, the S1D13705’s memory
and registers will be aliased every 128K bytes for a total of 512 times.
Note

If aliasing is not desirable, the upper addresses must be fully decoded.

2 Interfacing to the MPC821
2.1 The MPC8xx System Bus
The MPC8xx family of processors feature a high-speed synchronous system bus typical of
modern RISC microprocessors. This section provides an overview of the operation of the
CPU bus in order to establish interface requirements.

2.2 MPC821 Bus Overview
The MPC8xx microprocessor family uses a synchronous address and data bus. All IO is
synchronous to a square-wave reference clock called MCLK (Master Clock). This clock
runs at the machine cycle speed of the CPU core (typically 25 to 50 MHz). Most outputs
from the processor change state on the rising edge of this clock. Similarly, most inputs to
the processor are sampled on the rising edge.
Note

The external bus can run at one-half the CPU core speed using the clock control register.
This is typically used when the CPU core is operated above 50 MHz.
The MPC821 can generate up to eight independent chip select outputs, each of which may
be controlled by one of two types of timing generators: the General Purpose Chip Select
Module (GPCM) or the User-Programmable Machine (UPM). Examples are given using
the GPCM.
It should be noted that all Power PC microprocessors, including the MPC8xx family, use
bit notation opposite from the convention used by most other microprocessor systems. Bit
numbering for the MPC8xx always starts with zero as the most significant bit, and increments in value to the least-significant bit. For example, the most significant bits of the
address bus and data bus are A0 and D0, while the least significant bits are A31 and D31.
The MPC8xx uses both a 32-bit address and data bus. A parity bit is supported for each of
the four byte lanes on the data bus. Parity checking is done when data is read from external
memory or peripherals, and generated by the MPC8xx bus controller on write cycles. All
IO accesses are memory-mapped meaning there is no separate IO space in the Power PC
architecture.
Support is provided for both on-chip (DMA controllers) and off-chip (other processors and
peripheral controllers) bus masters. For further information on this topic, refer to Section
6, “References” on page 23.
The bus can support both normal and burst cycles. Burst memory cycles are used to fill
on-chip cache memory, and for certain on-chip DMA operations. Normal cycles are used
for all other data transfers.

2.2.1 Normal (Non-Burst) Bus Transactions
A data transfer is initiated by the bus master by placing the memory address on address
lines A0 through A31 and driving TS (Transfer Start) low for one clock cycle. Several
control signals are also provided with the memory address:
• TSIZ[0:1] (Transfer Size) -- indicates whether the bus cycle is 8, 16, or 32-bit.
• RD/WR -- set high for read cycles and low for write cycles.
• AT[0:3] (Address Type Signals) -- provides more detail on the type of transfer being
attempted.
When the peripheral device being accessed has completed the bus transfer, it asserts TA
(Transfer Acknowledge) for one clock cycle to complete the bus transaction. Once TA has
been asserted, the MPC821 will not start another bus cycle until TA has been de-asserted.
The minimum length of a bus transaction is two bus clocks.
Figure 2-1: “Power PC Memory Read Cycle” illustrates a typical memory read cycle on
the Power PC system bus.

Figure 2-2: Power PC Memory Write Cycle
If an error occurs, TEA (Transfer Error Acknowledge) is asserted and the bus cycle is
aborted. For example, a peripheral device may assert TEA if a parity error is detected, or
the MPC821 bus controller may assert TEA if no peripheral device responds at the
addressed memory location within a bus time-out period.
For 32-bit transfers, all data lines (D[0:31]) are used and the two low-order address lines
A30 and A31 are ignored. For 16-bit transfers, data lines D0 through D15 are used and
address line A30 is ignored. For 8-bit transfers, data lines D0 through D7 are used and all
address lines (A[0:31]) are used.
Note

This assumes that the Power PC core is operating in big endian mode (typically the case
for embedded systems).

2.2.2 Burst Cycles
Burst memory cycles are used to fill on-chip cache memory and to carry out certain on-chip
DMA operations. They are very similar to normal bus cycles with the following exceptions:
• Always 32-bit.
• Always attempt to transfer four 32-bit words sequentially.
• Always address longword-aligned memory (i.e. A30 and A31 are always 0:0).
• Do not increment address bits A28 and A29 between successive transfers; the addressed
device must increment these address bits internally.

If a peripheral is not capable of supporting burst cycles, it can assert Burst Inhibit (BI)
simultaneously with TA, and the processor will revert to normal bus cycles for the
remaining data transfers.
Burst cycles are mainly intended to facilitate cache line fills from program or data memory.
They are normally not used for transfers to/from IO peripheral devices such as the
S1D13705, therefore the interfaces described in this document do not attempt to support
burst cycles. However, the example interfaces include circuitry to detect the assertion of
BDIP and respond with BI if caching is accidently enabled for the S1D13705 address space.

2.3 Memory Controller Module
2.3.1 General-Purpose Chip Select Module (GPCM)
The General-Purpose Chip Select Module (GPCM) is used to control memory and
peripheral devices which do not require special timing or address multiplexing. In addition
to the chip select output, it can generate active-low Output Enable (OE) and Write Enable
(WE) signals compatible with most memory and x86-style peripherals. The MPC821 bus
controller also provides a Read/Write (RD/WR) signal which is compatible with most 68K
peripherals.
The GPCM is controlled by the values programmed into the Base Register (BR) and Option
Register (OR) of the respective chip select. The Option Register sets the base address, the
block size of the chip select, and controls the following timing parameters:
• The ACS bit field allows the chip select assertion to be delayed with respect to the
address bus valid, by 0, ¼, or ½ clock cycle.
• The CSNT bit causes chip select and WE to be negated ½ clock cycle earlier than
normal.
• The TRLX (relaxed timing) bit will insert an additional one clock delay between assertion of the address bus and chip select. This accommodates memory and peripherals
with long setup times.
• The EHTR (Extended hold time) bit will insert an additional 1-clock delay on the first
access to a chip select.
• Up to 15 wait states may be inserted, or the peripheral can terminate the bus cycle itself
by asserting TA (Transfer Acknowledge).
• Any chip select may be programmed to assert BI (Burst Inhibit) automatically when its
memory space is addressed by the processor core.

2.3.2 User-Programmable Machine (UPM)
The UPM is typically used to control memory types, such as Dynamic RAMs, which have
complex control or address multiplexing requirements. The UPM is a general purpose
RAM-based pattern generator which can control address multiplexing, wait state generation, and five general-purpose output lines on the MPC821. Up to 64 pattern locations are
available, each 32 bits wide. Separate patterns may be programmed for normal accesses,
burst accesses, refresh (timer) events, and exception conditions. This flexibility allows
almost any type of memory or peripheral device to be accommodated by the MPC821.
In this application note, the GPCM is used instead of the UPM, since the GPCM has enough
flexibility to accommodate the S1D13705 and it is desirable to leave the UPM free to
handle other interfacing duties, such as EDO DRAM.

3 S1D13705 Host Bus Interface
This section is a summary of the host bus interface mode used on the S1D13705 to interface
to the MPC821.
The S1D13705 implements a 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor which may operate
in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded microprocessor
families. The interface mode used for the MPC821 is:
• Generic #1 (Chip Select, plus individual Read Enable/Write Enable for each byte).

3.2 Generic #1 Host Bus Interface Mode
Generic #1 host bus interface mode is the most general and least processor-specific host bus
interface mode on the S1D13705. The Generic # 1 host bus interface mode was chosen for
this interface due to the simplicity of its timing.
The host bus interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which is required by the S1D13705 host interface. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
IO or memory address space.
• WE0# and WE1# are write enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is writing data to the S1D13705.
• RD# and RD/WR# are read enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is reading data from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal output from the S1D13705 that indicates the host CPU must wait
until data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host CPU
accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is possible
that contention may occur in accessing the S1D13705 internal registers and/or refresh
memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait until the
resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be inverted if
the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) signal is not used in the bus interface for Generic #1 mode.
However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for Generic #1 mode and should be
tied low (connected to GND).

4 MPC821 to S1D13705 Interface
4.1 Hardware Description
The interface between the S1D13705 and the MPC821 requires minimal glue logic. One
inverter is required to change the polarity of the WAIT# signal (an active low signal) to
insert wait states in the bus cycle. The MPC821 Transfer Acknowledge signal (TA) is an
active low signal which ends the current bus cycle. The inverter is enabled using CS# so
that TA is not driven by the S1D13705 during non-S1D13705 bus cycles. A single resistor
is used to speed up the rise time of the WAIT# (TA) signal when terminating the bus cycle.
BS# (bus start) is not used in this implementation and should be tied low (connected to
GND).
The following diagram shows a typical implementation of the MPC821 to S1D13705
interface.

When connecting the S1D13705 RESET# pin, the system designer should be aware of all

from power-down modes, or during debug states).

4.3 S1D13705 Hardware Configuration
The S1D13705 uses CNF3 through CNF0 and BS# to allow selection of the bus mode and
other configuration data on the rising edge of RESET#. Refer to the S1D13705 Hardware
Functional Specification, document number X27A-A-001-xx for details.
The tables below show only those configuration settings important to the MPC821
interface. The settings are very similar to the ISA bus with the following exceptions:
• the WAIT# signal is active high rather than active low.
• the Power PC is big endian rather than little endian.

4.4 MPC821 Chip Select Configuration
The DRAM on the MPC821 ADS board extends from address 0 through 3F FFFFh, so the
S1D13705 is addressed starting at 40 0000h. The S1D13705 uses a 128K byte segment of
memory starting at this address, with the first 80K bytes used for the display buffer and the
upper 32 bytes of this memory block used for the S1D13705 internal registers.
Chip select 4 is used to control the S1D13705. The following options are selected in the
base address register (BR4):
• BA (0:16) = 0000 0000 0100 0000 0 – set starting address of S1D13705 to 40 0000h
• AT (0:2) = 0 – ignore address type bits
• PS (0:1) = 1:0 – memory port size is 16 bits
• PARE = 0 – disable parity checking
• WP = 0 – disable write protect
• MS (0:1) = 0:0 – select General Purpose Chip Select module to control this chip select
• V = 1 – set valid bit to enable chip select
The following options were selected in the option register (OR4):
• AM (0:16) = 1111 1111 1100 0000 0 – mask all but upper 10 address bits; S1D13705
consumes 4M byte of address space
• ATM (0:2) = 0 – ignore address type bits
• CSNT = 0 – normal CS/WE negation
• ACS (0:1) = 1:1 – delay CS assertion by ½ clock cycle from address lines
• BI = 1 – assert Burst Inhibit
• SCY (0:3) = 0 – wait state selection; this field is ignored since external transfer
acknowledge is used; see SETA below
• SETA = 1 – the S1D13705 generates an external transfer acknowledge using the
WAIT# line
• TRLX = 0 – normal timing
• EHTR = 0 – normal timing

4.5 Test Software
The test software to exercise this interface is very simple. It configures chip select 4 on the
MPC821 to map the S1D13705 to an unused 128k byte block of address space and loads
the appropriate values into the option register for CS4. At that point the software runs in a
tight loop reading the 13705 Revision Code Register REG[00h], which allows monitoring
of the bus timing on a logic analyzer.

This code was entered into the memory of the MPC821ADS using the line-by-line
assembler in MPC8BUG, the debugger provided with the ADS board. It was executed on
the ADS and a logic analyzer was used to verify operation of the interface hardware.
Note

MPC8BUG does not support comments or symbolic equates; these have been added for
clarity.
It is important to note that when the MPC821 comes out of reset, its on-chip caches and
MMU are disabled. If the data cache is enabled, then the MMU must be set up so that the
S1D13705 memory block is tagged as non-cacheable, to ensure that accesses to the
S1D13705 will occur in proper order, and also to ensure that the MPC821 does not attempt
to cache any data read from or written to the S1D13705 or its display buffer.

2 Interfacing to the MCF5307
2.1 The MCF5307 System Bus
The MCF5200/5300 family of processors feature a high-speed synchronous system bus
typical of modern microprocessors. This section is an overview of the operation of the CPU
bus to establish interface requirements.

2.1.1 Overview
The MCF5307 microprocessor family uses a synchronous address and data bus, very
similar in architecture to the MC68040 and MPC8xx. All outputs and inputs are timed with
respect to a square-wave reference clock called BCLK0 (Master Clock). This clock runs at
a software-selectable divisor rate from the machine cycle speed of the CPU core, typically
20 to 33 MHz. Both the address and the data bus are 32 bits in width. All IO accesses are
memory-mapped; there is no separate IO space in the Coldfire architecture.
The bus can support two types of cycles, normal and burst. Burst memory cycles are used
to fill on-chip cache memories, and for certain on-chip DMA operations. Normal cycles are
used for all other data transfers.

2.1.2 Normal (Non-Burst) Bus Transactions
A data transfer is initiated by the bus master by placing the memory address on address
lines A31 through A0 and driving TS (Transfer Start) low for one clock cycle. Several
control signals are also provided with the memory address:
• SIZ[1:0] (Transfer Size), which indicate whether the bus cycle is 8, 16, or 32 bits in
width.
• R/W, which is high for read cycles and low for write cycles.
• A set of transfer type signals (TT[1:0]) which provide more detail on the type of transfer
being attempted.
• TIP (Transfer In Progress), which is asserted whenever a bus cycle is active.
When the peripheral device being accessed has completed the bus transfer, it asserts TA
(Transfer Acknowledge) for one clock cycle, completing the bus transaction. Once TA has
been asserted, the MCF5307 will not start another bus cycle until TA has been de-asserted.
The minimum length of a bus transaction is two bus clocks.
Figure 2-1 illustrates a typical memory read cycle on the MCF5307 system bus, and Figure
2-2 illustrates a memory write cycle.

2.1.3 Burst Cycles
Burst cycles are very similar to normal cycles, except that they occur as a series of four
back-to-back, 32-bit memory reads or writes, with the TIP (Transfer In Progress) output
asserted continuously through the burst. Burst memory cycles are mainly intended to facilitate cache line fill from program or data memory; they are typically not used for transfers
to or from IO peripheral devices such as the S1D13705. The MCF5307 chip selects provide
a mechanism to disable burst accesses for peripheral devices which are not able to support
them.

2.2 Chip-Select Module
In addition to generating eight independent chip-select outputs, the MCF5307 Chip Select
Module can generate active-low Output Enable (OE) and Write Enable (BWE) signals
compatible with most memory and x86-style peripherals. The MCF5307 bus controller also
provides a Read/Write (R/W) signal which is compatible with most 68K peripherals.
Chip selects 0 and 1 can be programmed independently to respond to any base address and
block size. Chip select 0 can be active immediately after reset, and is typically used to
control a boot ROM. Chip select 1 is likewise typically used to control a large static or
dynamic RAM block.
Chip selects 2 through 7 have fixed block sizes of 2M bytes each. Each has a unique, fixed
offset from a common, programmable starting address. These chip selects are well-suited
to typical IO addressing requirements.
Each chip select may be individually programmed for port size (8/16/32 bits), 0 to 15 wait
states or external acknowledge, address space type, burst or non-burst cycle support, and
write protect.

3 S1D13705 Bus Interface
This section is a summary of the host bus interface mode used on the S1D13705 to interface
to the MCF5307.
The S1D13705 implements a 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor which may operate
in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded microprocessor
families. The interface mode used for the MCF5307 is:
• Generic #1 (Chip Select, plus individual Read Enable/Write Enable for each byte).

3.2 Generic #1 Interface Mode
Generic #1 interface mode is the most general and least processor-specific interface mode
on the S1D13705. The Generic # 1 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the
simplicity of its timing.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which is required by the S1D13705 host interface. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• WE0# and WE1# are write enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is writing data to the S1D13705.
• RD# and RD/WR# are read enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is reading data from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal output from the S1D13705 that indicates the host CPU must wait
until data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host CPU
accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is possible
that contention may occur in accessing the S1D13705 internal registers and/or refresh
memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait until the
resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be inverted if
the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) signal is not used in the bus interface for Generic #1 mode.
However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for Generic #1 mode and should be
tied low (connected to GND).

4 MCF5307 To S1D13705 Interface
4.1 Hardware Description
The S1D13705 is interfaced to the MCF5307 with a minimal amount of glue logic. One
inverter is required to change the polarity of the WAIT# signal, which is an active low
signal to insert wait states in the bus cycle, while the MCF5307’s Transfer Acknowledge
signal (TA) is an active low signal to end the current bus cycle. The inverter is enabled by
CS# so that TA is not driven by the S1D13705 during non-S1D13705 bus cycles. A single
resistor is used to speed up the rise time of the WAIT# (TA) signal when terminating the
bus cycle.
The following diagram shows a typical implementation of the MCF5307 to S1D13705
interface.

from power-down modes, or during debug states).

4.2 S1D13705 Hardware Configuration
The S1D13705 uses CNF3 through CNF0 and BS# to allow selection of the bus mode and

4.3 MCF5307 Chip Select Configuration
Chip Selects 0 and 1 have programmable block sizes from 64K bytes through 2G bytes.
However, these chip selects would normally be needed to control system RAM and ROM.
Therefore, one of the IO chip selects CS2 through CS7 is required to address the entire
address space of the S1D13705. These IO chip selects have a fixed, 2M byte block size. In
the example interface, chip select 4 is used to control the S1D13705. The S1D13705 only
uses a 128K byte block with its 80K byte display buffer residing at the start of this 128K
byte block and its internal registers occupying the last 32 bytes of this block. This block of
memory will be shadowed over the entire 2M byte space. The CSBAR register should be
set to the upper 8 bits of the desired base address.
The following options should be selected in the chip select mask registers (CSMR4/5):
• WP = 0 – disable write protect
• AM = 0 - enable alternate bus master access to the S1D13705
• C/I = 1 - disable CPU space access to the S1D13705
• SC = 1 - disable Supervisor Code space access to the S1D13705
• SD = 0 - enable Supervisor Data space access to the S1D13705
• UC = 1 - disable User Code space access to the S1D13705
• UD = 0 - enable User Data space access to the S1D13705
• V = 1 - global enable (“Valid”) for the chip select
The following options should be selected in the chip select control registers (CSCR4/5):
• WS0-3 = 0 - no internal wait state setting
• AA = 0 - no automatic acknowledgment
• PS (1:0) = 1:0 – memory port size is 16 bits
• BEM = 0 – Byte enable/write enable active on writes only
• BSTR = 0 – disable burst reads
• BSTW = 0 – disable burst writes

2 Interfacing to the PR31500/PR31700
The Philips MIPS PR31500/PR31700 processor supports up to two PC Card (PCMCIA)
slots. It is through this host bus interface that the S1D13705 connects to the
PR31500/PR31700 processor.
The S1D13705 can be successfully interfaced using one of two configurations:
• Direct connection to PR31500/PR31700 (see Section 4, Direct Connection to the
Philips PR31500/PR31700 on page 12).
• System design using one ITE IT8368E PC Card/GPIO buffer chip (see Section 5, Using
the ITE IT8368E PC Card Buffer on page 15).

3 S1D13705 Host Bus Interface
This section is a summary of the host bus interface modes available on the S1D13705 that
would be used to interface to the PR31500/PR31700.
The S1D13705 implements a 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor which may operate
in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded microprocessor
families. The interface modes used for the PR31500/PR31700 are:
• Generic #1 (Chip Select, plus individual Read Enable/Write Enable for each byte).
• Generic #2 (External Chip Select, shared Read/Write Enable for high byte, individual
Read/Write Enable for low byte).

3.2 Generic #1 Interface Mode
Generic #1 interface mode is the most general and least processor-specific interface mode
on the S1D13705. The Generic # 1 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the
simplicity of its timing.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which is required by the S1D13705 host interface. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• WE0# and WE1# are write enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is writing data to the S1D13705. These signals
must be generated by external hardware based on the control outputs from the host CPU.
• RD# and RD/WR# are read enables for the low-order and high-order bytes, respectively,
to be driven low when the host CPU is reading data from the S1D13705. These signals
must be generated by external hardware based on the control outputs from the host CPU.
• WAIT# is a signal output from the S1D13705 that indicates the host CPU must wait
until data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host CPU
accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is possible
that contention may occur in accessing the S1D13705 internal registers and/or refresh
memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait until the
resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be inverted if
the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) signal is not used in the bus interface for Generic #1 mode.
However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for Generic #1 mode and should be
tied low (connected to GND).

3.3 Generic #2 Interface Mode
Generic #2 interface mode is a general and non-processor-specific interface mode on the
S1D13705. The Generic # 2 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the
simplicity of its timing and compatibility with the PR31500/PR31700 control signals.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which synchronizes transfers between the host CPU and the
S1D13705. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host
CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• WE1# is the high byte enable for both read and write cycles.
• WE0# is the write enable signal for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU
is writing data from the S1D13705.
• RD# is the read enable for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU is
reading data from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal which is output from the S1D13705 to the host CPU that indicates
when data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host
CPU accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is
possible that contention may occur in accessing the 13705 internal registers and/or
refresh memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait
until the resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be
inverted if the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) and Read/Write (RD/WR#) signals are not used in the bus interface for Generic #2 mode. However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for
Generic #2 mode and should be tied high (connected to IO VDD). RD/WR# should also
be tied high.

4 Direct Connection to the Philips PR31500/PR31700
4.1 General Description
In this example implementation the S1D13705 occupies the PR31500/PR31700 PC Card
slot #1.
The S1D13705 is easily interfaced to the PR31500/PR31700 with minimal additional logic.
The address bus of the PR31500/PR31700 PC Card interface is multiplexed and must be
demultiplexed using an advanced CMOS latch (e.g., 74AHC373). The direct connection
approach makes use of the S1D13705 in its “Generic #2” interface configuration.
The following diagram demonstrates a typical implementation of the interface.

Note:
When connecting the S1D13705 RESET# pin, the system designer should be aware of all
conditions that may reset the S1D13705 (e.g. CPU reset can be asserted during wake-up
from power-down modes, or during debug states).

The “Generic #2” host interface control signals of the S1D13705 are asynchronous with
respect to the S1D13705 bus clock. This gives the system designer full flexibility to choose
the appropriate source (or sources) for CLKI and BCLK. The choice of whether both clocks
should be the same, and whether to use DCLKOUT (divided) as clock source, should be
based on the desired:
• pixel and frame rates.
• power budget.
• part count.
• maximum S1D13705 clock frequencies.
The S1D13705 also has internal clock dividers providing additional flexibility.

4.2 Memory Mapping and Aliasing
The S1D13705 requires an addressing space of 128K bytes. The on-chip display memory
occupies the range 0 through 13FFFh. The registers occupy the range 1FFE0h through
1FFFFh. The PR31500/PR31700 demultiplexed address lines A17 and above are ignored,
thus the S1D13705 is aliased 512 times at 128K byte intervals over the 64M byte PC Card
slot #1 memory space. In this example implementation, the PR31500/PR31700 control
signal /CARDREG is ignored; therefore the S1D13705 also takes up the entire PC Card slot
1 configuration space.
Note

If aliasing is undesirable, additional decoding circuitry must be added.

4.3 S1D13705 Configuration and Pin Mapping
The S1D13705 is configured at power up by latching the state of the CNF[3:0] pins. Pin
BS# also plays a role in host bus interface configuration. For details on configuration, refer

5 Using the ITE IT8368E PC Card Buffer
If the system designer uses the ITE IT8368E PC Card and multiple-function I/O buffer, the
S1D13705 can be interfaced so that it “shares” a PC Card slot. The S1D13705 is mapped
to a rarely-used 16M byte portion of the PC Card slot buffered by the IT8368E. This makes
the S1D13705 virtually transparent to PC Card devices that use the same slot.

5.1 Hardware Description
The ITE8368E has been specially designed to support EPSON LCD controllers. The ITE
IT8368E provides eleven Multi-Function IO pins (MFIO). Configuration registers may be
used to allow these MFIO pins to provide the control signals required to implement the
S1D13705 CPU interface.
The PR31500/PR31700 processor only provides addresses A[12:0]; therefore devices
requiring more address space must use an external device to latch A[25:13]. The IT8368E’s
MFIO pins can be configured to provide this latched address.

Note:
When connecting the S1D13705 RESET# pin, the system designer should be aware of all
conditions that may reset the S1D13705 (e.g. CPU reset can be asserted during wake-up
from power-down modes, or during debug states).

Figure 5-1: S1D13705 to PR31500/PR31700 Connection Using an IT8368E
Note

See Section 3.1 on page 9 and Section 3.2 on page 10 for Generic #1 pin descriptions.
The “Generic #1” host interface control signals of the S1D13705 are asynchronous with
respect to the S1D13705 bus clock. This gives the system designer full flexibility to choose
the appropriate source (or sources) for CLKI and BCLK. The choice of whether both clocks
should be the same, and whether to use DCLKOUT (divided) as clock source, should be
based on the desired:
• pixel and frame rates.
• power budget.
• part count.
• maximum S1D13705 clock frequencies.
The S1D13705 also has internal clock dividers providing additional flexibility.

5.2 IT8368E Configuration
The IT8368E provides eleven multi-function IO pins (MFIO). The IT8368E must have
both “Fix Attribute/IO” and “VGA” modes on. When both these modes are enabled, the
MFIO pins provide control signals needed by the S1D13705 host bus interface, and a 16M
byte portion of the system PC Card attribute and IO space is allocated to address the
S1D13705. When accessing the S1D13705 the associated card-side signals are disabled in
order to avoid any conflicts.
For mapping details, refer to section 3.3: “Memory Mapping and Aliasing.” For connection
details see Figure 5-1: “S1D13705 to PR31500/PR31700 Connection Using an IT8368E,”
on page 16. For further information on the IT8368E, refer to the IT8368E PC Card/GPIO
Buffer Chip Specification.
Note

When a second IT8368E is used, that circuit should not be set in VGA mode.

5.3 Memory Mapping and Aliasing
When the PR31500/PR31700 accesses the PC Card slots without the ITE IT8368E, its
system memory is mapped as in Table 5-1: PR31500/PR31700 to PC Card Slots Address
Mapping With and Without the IT8368E.
Note

Bit CARD1IOEN or CARD2IOEN, depending on which card slot is used, must to be set
to 0 in the PR31500/PR31700 Memory Configuration Register 3.
When the PR31500/PR31700 accesses the PC Card slots buffered through the ITE
IT8368E, bits CARD1IOEN and CARD2IOEN are ignored and the attribute/IO space of
the PR31500/PR31700 is divided into Attribute, I/O and S1D13705 access. Table 5-1:
PR31500/PR31700 to PC Card Slots Address Mapping With and Without the IT8368E

provides all details of the Attribute/IO address reallocation by the IT8368E.

1 Introduction
This manual describes the interface between the S1D13704/5 LCD Controller (LCDC) and
the TMPR3912/22U microprocessor as implemented on the Toshiba 3912/22 and
S1D13704/5 CPU Module. This module is used in conjunction with the Toshiba TX RISC
Reference Platform.
For more information regarding the S1D13704 or S1D13705 refer to their respective
Hardware Functional Specification, document number X26A-A-001-xx and
X27A-A-001-xx respectively.
For more information regarding the TMPR3912/22U, refer to the TMPR3912/22U 32-Bit
MIPS RISC Processor User’s Manual. See the Toshiba website under semiconductors at
http://toshiba.com/taec/nonflash/indexproducts.html.

1.1 General Description
The Toshiba TX RISC Reference Kit consists of 6 boards which include: a main board, a
CPU board, a EPROM board, a FMEM board, a debug board, and an analog board. The
main board acts as the motherboard for all the other add-on boards. In addition to these
boards, there is an LCD module that connects to the CPU board. In order to support the
add-on LCD panel that connects to the LCD module, the CPU board microprocessor must
have an internal LCD controller or the CPU board must have an LCD controller on it that
interfaces to the microprocessor.
For the TMPR3912/22U microprocessor, the S1D13704 or S1D13705 LCDC is used to
provide support for LCD panels. The LCDC is socketed so that it can be interchanged
between the S1D13704 and the S1D13705. These controllers are very similar, with the
main differences being the amount of embedded display memory and the lookup-table
architecture (LUT). The S1D13704 has 40K bytes of display memory and the S1D13705
has 80K bytes.
The Toshiba TMPR3912/22U processor supports two PC Card (PCMCIA) slots on the TX
RISC Reference Platform. The S1D13704 or S1D13705 LCD controller uses the PC Card
slot 1 to interface to the TMPR3912/22U, therefore, this slot is unavailable for use on the
TX RISC Reference Platform.

2 S1D13704/5 Bus Interface
This section is summary of the bus interface modes available on the S1D13704 and
S1D13705 LCDCs, and offers some detail on the Generic #2 bus mode used to implement
the interface to the TMPR3912/22U.

2.1 Bus Interface Modes
The S1D13704/5 implements a general-purpose 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor,
which may operate in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded
microprocessor families.
Bus interface mode selections are made during reset by sampling the state of the configuration pins CNF[2:0] and the BS# line. Table 5-1 in the S1D13704 or S1D13705 Hardware
Functional Specification details the values needed for the configuration pins and BS# to
select the desired mode.

2.2 Generic #2 Interface Mode
Generic #2 interface mode is a general and non-processor-specific interface mode on the
S1D13704/5. The Generic # 2 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to its
compatibility with the PC Card interface.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which synchronizes transfers between the host CPU and the
S1D13704/5. BUSCLK is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven
by the host CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB15, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
memory address space.
• WE1# is the high byte enable for both read and write cycles and WE0# is the enable
signal for a write access. These must be generated by external decode hardware based
upon the control outputs from the host CPU.
• RD# is the read enable for the S1D13704/5, to be driven low when the host CPU is
reading data from the S1D13704/5. RD# must be generated by external decode hardware based upon the control outputs from the host CPU.
• WAIT# is a signal which is output from the S1D13704/5 to the host CPU that indicates
when data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host
CPU accesses to the S1D13704/5 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is
possible that contention may occur in accessing the 13704/5 internal registers and/or
refresh memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait
until the resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be
inverted if the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) and Read/Write (RD/WR#) signals are not used in the bus interface for Generic #2 mode. However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13704/5 for
Generic #2 mode and must be tied high (connected to IOVDD = 3.3V). RD/WR# must
also be tied high.

3 TMPR3912/22U and S1D13704/5 Interface
3.1 Hardware Connections
The S1D13704/5 occupies the TMPR3912/22U’s PC Card slot #1. Therefore, this slot
cannot be used for other devices on the main board. The Generic # 2 bus mode of the
S1D13704/5 is used to interface to this PC Card slot #1.
The S1D13704/5 is interfaced to the TMPR3912/22U with minimal glue logic. Since the
address bus of the TMPR3912/22U is multiplexed, it is demultiplexed using an advanced
CMOS latch (74ACT373) to obtain the higher address bits needed for the S1D13704/5.
The following diagram demonstrates the implementation of the interface.

3.2 Memory Mapping and Aliasing
The S1D13704 requires an addressing space of 64K bytes while the S1D13705 requires
128K. The on-chip display memory occupies the range 0 through 9FFFh. The registers
occupy the range FFE0h through FFFFh. The TMPR3912/22U demultiplexed address lines
A16 and above are ignored if the S1D13704 is used, thus it is aliased 1024 times at 64K
byte intervals over the 64M byte PC Card slot #1 memory space. If the S1D13705 is used,
address lines A17 and above are ignored; therefore the S1D13705 is aliased 512 times at
128K byte intervals. The TMPR3912/22U control signal CARDREG# is ignored; therefore
the S1D13704 also takes up the entire PC Card slot #1 configuration space.
Note

If aliasing is undesirable, additional decoding circuitry must be added.

3.3 S1D13704/5 Configuration and Pin Mapping
The S1D13704/5 host bus interface is configured at power up by latching the state of the
CNF[3:0] pins. Pin BS# also plays a role in host bus interface configuration. One additional
configuration pin for the S1D13704, CNF4, is also used to set the polarity of the LCDPWR
signal.
The table below shows the configuration pin connections to configure the S1D13704/5 for
use with the TMPR3912/22U microprocessor.

4 CPU Module Description
This section will describe the various parts of the CPU module that pertain to the
S1D13704/5 LCD Controller.

4.1 Clock Signals
4.1.1 BUSCLK
Because the bus clock for the S1D13704/5 does not need to be synchronous with the bus
interface control signals, a lot of flexibility is available in the choice for BUSCLK. In this
CPU module, BUSCLK is a divided by two version of the SDRAM clock signal,
DCLKOUT. Since DCLKOUT equals 73.728MHz, BUSCLK = 36.864MHz.

4.1.2 CLKI
The pixel clock for the S1D13704/5, CLKI, is also asynchronous with respect to the
interface control signals. This clock is selected based upon panel frame rates, power vs
performance budget, and maximum input frequencies. The maximum CLKI input is
25MHz if the internal CLKI/2 isn’t used, and if it is used the maximum input is 50MHz.
On the CPU module, CLKI’s default input is a divided by four version of DCLKOUT,
which gives a CLKI = 18.432MHZ. This frequency gives good performance for 320x240
resolution panels for both portrait and landscape modes. If power saving is desired, the
CLKI can be reduced by using the internal CLKI/2 and the various PCLK and MCLK
dividers for portrait mode.
A socket for an external oscillator is also provided if a different frequency is required. This
option is selected by positioning jumper JP8 in the 2 3 position and adding a standard 14DIP type oscillator in the socket U10.

4.2 LCD Connectors
4.2.1 50-pin LCD Module Connector, J3
The standard connector used on Toshiba’s CPU Modules to connect to the LCD module is
included in this CPU module. All twelve LCD data lines, FPDAT[11:0], from the
S1D13704/5, as well as the five video control signals, FPFRAME, FPSHIFT, FPLINE,
DRDY, LCDPWR, are passed through this connector. Through this connector, the
S1D13704/5 supports monochrome and color STN panels up to a resolution of 640x480 as
well as color TFT/D-TFT up to a resolution of 640x480. All touch panel signals from the
main board have also been routed through this connector.

4.2.2 Standard Epson LCD Connector, J4
A shrouded 40-pin header, J4, is also added to the CPU module to connect to LCD panels.
This header is the standard LCD connector used on Epson Research and Development
evaluation boards and can be used to directly connect LCD panels to the S1D13704/5
controller. All LCD signals are buffered to allow 3.3V or 5.0V logic LCD panels to be
connected. Jumper, JP9, selects between these two types of panels.
A positive power supply for panels requiring a positive bias voltage is supplied to header
J4, by the LCD module through the 50-pin LCD module connector, J3. No negative power
supply is available on the LCD module, therefore only panels which have their own bias
voltage supply, or those that use a positive supply, can be connected to J4. The LCD
module can only support these panels as well.
Header, J4, and its associated buffers and components have been left unpopulated on the
CPU module. These parts can be added by the user if desired.

4.3 LCD Controller
4.3.1 S1D13704 vs. S1D13705
The LCD controller used in conjunction with the TMPR3912/22U microprocessor can
either be a S1D13704 or a S1D13705. If a S1D13704 is used, jumper JP7 must be set to
position 1 2. This setting allows CNF4 to be configured for the S1D13704. CNF4 controls
the polarity of the LCDPWR signal and can be set either high or low with jumper, JP11. If
a S1D13705 is used, jumper JP7 must be set to position 2 3. This setting allows pin 45 of
the LCDC to be used as address bit, AB16, which is needed on the S1D13705 to accommodate the larger display memory.

4.3.2 LCDPWR Polarity
The power supply on the LCD module used LCDON, an active low signal to turn on the
supply. This signal is connected to LCDPWR. Since LCDPWR is configurable on the
S1D13704 and is set active high on the S1D13705, a facility must be provided to invert this
signal if it is active high so that LCDON will be the right polarity to turn on the LCD power
supply. Jumper, JP10 must be set to position 1 2 if LCDPWR is active low and to position
2 3 if LCDPWR is active high.

4.3.3 S1D13704\75 Chip Select
Minimal glue logic is used on the CPU module to provide the chip select signal, CS#, for
the LCDC. A simple AND gate activates the S1D13704/5 whenever the PC Card slot #1
is accessed, whether it be memory space or attribute space.

2 Interfacing to the NEC VR4181A
2.1 The NEC VR4181A System Bus
The VR-Series family of microprocessors features a high-speed synchronous system bus
typical of modern microprocessors. Designed with external LCD controller support and
Windows CE based embedded consumer applications in mind, the VR4181A offers a
highly integrated solution for portable systems. This section is an overview of the operation
of the CPU bus to establish interface requirements.

2.1.1 Overview
The NEC VR4181A is designed around the RISC architecture developed by MIPS. This
microprocessor is designed around the 100MHz VR4110 CPU core which supports the
MIPS III and MIPS16 instruction sets. The CPU communicates with external devices via
an ISA interface.
The NEC VR4181A has direct support for an external LCD controller. A 64 to 512-kilobyte
block of memory is assigned to the LCD controller with a dedicated chip select signal.
Word or byte accesses are controlled by the system high byte signal, #UBE.

2.1.2 LCD Memory Access Signals
The S1D13705 requires an addressing range of 128Kbytes. When the VR4181A’s external
LCD controller chip select signal is programmed to a window of that size, the S1D13705
must reside in the VR4181A physical address range of 133E 0000h to 133F FFFFh which
is part of the external ISA memory space.
The signals required for external LCD controller access are listed below and obey ISA
signalling rules.
• A[16:0]

Address bus

• #UBE

High byte enable (active low)

• #LCDCS

LCD controller (S1D13705) chip select (active low)

• D[15:0]

Data bus

• #MEMRD

Read command (active low)

• #MEMWR

Write command (active low)

• #MEMCS16

Sixteen-bit peripheral capability acknowledge (active low)

• IORDY

Ready signal from S1D13705

• SYSCLK

Optional, prescalable bus clock

Once an address in the LCD block of memory is accessed, the LCD chip select #LCDCS is
driven low. The read or write enable signals, #MEMRD or #MEMWR, are driven low for
the appropriate cycle and IORDY is driven low by the S1D13705 to insert wait states into
the cycle. The high byte enable is driven low for 16-bit transfers and high for 8-bit transfers.

3 S1D13705 Host Bus Interface
This section is a summary of the host bus interface modes available on the S1D13705 that
would be used to interface to the VR4181A.
The S1D13705 implements a 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor which may operate
in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded microprocessor
families. The interface mode used for the VR4181A is:
• Generic #2 (External Chip Select, shared Read/Write Enable for high byte, individual
Read/Write Enable for low byte).

3.2 Generic #2 Interface Mode
Generic #2 interface mode is a general and non-processor-specific interface mode on the
S1D13705. The Generic # 2 interface mode was chosen for this interface due to the
simplicity of its timing and compatibility with the VR4181A control signals.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which synchronizes transfers between the host CPU and the
S1D13705. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host
CPU system clock.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively. On 32-bit big endian architectures such as the Power PC, the data bus would connect to the high-order data lines; on
little endian hosts, or 16-bit big endian hosts, they would connect to the low-order data
lines. The hardware engineer must ensure that CNF3 selects the proper endian mode
upon reset.
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
register and memory address space.
• WE1# is the high byte enable for both read and write cycles.
• WE0# is the write enable signal for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU
is writing data from the S1D13705.
• RD# is the read enable for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU is
reading data from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal which is output from the S1D13705 to the host CPU that indicates
when data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host
CPU accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is
possible that contention may occur in accessing the S1D13705 internal registers or
memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait until the
resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be inverted if
the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) and Read/Write (RD/WR#) signals are not used in the bus interface for Generic #2 mode. However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for
Generic #2 mode and should be tied high (connected to IOVDD). RD/WR# should also
be tied high.

4 VR4181A to S1D13705 Interface
4.1 Hardware Description
The NEC VR4181A microprocessor is specifically designed to support an external LCD
controller by providing the internal address decoding and control signals necessary. By
using the Generic # 2 interface, a glueless interface is achieved. The diagram below shows
a typical implementation of the VR4181A to S1D13705 interface.

Note:
When connecting the S1D13705 RESET# pin, the system designer should be aware of all
conditions that may reset the S1D13705 (e.g. CPU reset can be asserted during wake-up
from power-down modes, or during debug states).

The host interface control signals of the S1D13705 are asynchronous with respect to the
S1D13705 bus clock. This gives the system designer full flexibility to choose the appropriate source (or sources) for CLKI and BCLK. The choice of whether both clocks should
be the same, and whether an external or internal clock divider is needed, should be based
on the desired:
• pixel and frame rates.
• power budget.
• part count.
• maximum S1D13705 clock frequencies.
The S1D13705 also has internal clock dividers providing additional flexibility.

4.2 S1D13705 Hardware Configuration
The S1D13705 uses CNF3 through CNF0 and BS# to allow selection of the bus mode and
other configuration data on the rising edge of RESET#. Refer to the S1D13705 Hardware
Functional Specification, document number X27A-A-001-xx for details.

interface.

4.3 NEC VR4181A Configuration
The NEC VR4181A must be configured through its internal registers in order to map the
S1D13705 to the external LCD controller space. The following register values must be set.
Register LCDGPMD at address 0B00 032Eh must be set as follows.
• Bit 7 must be set to 1 to disable the internal LCD controller and enable the external LCD
controller interface. This also maps pin SHCLK to #LCDCS and pin LOCLK to
#MEMCS16.
• Bits [1:0] must be set to 01b to reserve 128Kbytes of memory address range
133E 0000h to 133F FFFFh for the external LCD controller.
Register GPMD2REG at address 0B00 0304h must be set as follows.
• Bits [9:8] (GP20MD[1:0]) must be set to 11b to map pin GPIO20 to #UBE.
• Bits [5:4] (GP18MD[1:0]) must be set to 01b to map pin GPIO18 to IORDY.

2 Interfacing to an 8-bit Processor
2.1 The Generic 8-bit Processor System Bus
Although the S1D13705 does not directly support an 8-bit CPU, with minimal external
logic an 8-bit interface can be achieved.
Typically, the bus of an 8-bit microprocessor is straight forward with minimal CPU and
system control signals. To connect a memory mapped device such as the S1D13705, only
the write, read, and wait control signals, as well as the data and address lines, need to be
interfaced. Since the S1D13705 is a 16-bit device, some external logic is required.

3 S1D13705 Bus Interface
This section is a summary of the host bus interface modes available on the S1D13705 and
offers some detail on the Generic #2 Host Bus Interface used to implement the interface to
an 8-bit processor.
The S1D13705 provides a 16-bit interface to the host microprocessor which may operate
in one of several modes compatible with most of the popular embedded microprocessor
families. The bus interface mode used in this example is:
• Generic #2 (this bus interface is ISA-like and can easily be modified to support an 8-bit
CPU).

3.2 Generic #2 Interface Mode
Generic #2 Host Bus Interface is a general, non-processor specific interface mode on the
S1D13705 that is ideally suited to interface to an 8-bit processor bus.
The interface requires the following signals:
• BUSCLK is a clock input which synchronizes transfers between the host CPU and the
S1D13705. It is separate from the input clock (CLKI) and is typically driven by the host
CPU system clock. If the host CPU bus does not provide this clock, an asynchronous
clock can be provided.
• The address inputs AB0 through AB16, and the data bus DB0 through DB15, connect
directly to the CPU address and data bus, respectively.
Note

In an 8-bit environment D[7:0] must also be connected to DB[15:8] respectively (i.e. D7
connects to both DB15 and DB7, D6 connects to both DB14 and DB6, D5 connects to
both DB13 and DB5, etc.). See Figure 4-1: “Typical Implementation of an 8-bit Processor to the S1D13705 Generic #2 Interface” .
• Chip Select (CS#) is driven by decoding the high-order address lines to select the proper
memory address space.
• BHE# (WE1#) is the high byte enable for both read and write cycles.
Note

In an 8-bit environment, this signal is driven by inverting address line A0 thus indicating
that odd addresses are to be R/W on the high byte of the data bus.
• WE0# is the enable signal for a write access, to be driven low when the host CPU is
writing the 1375 memory or registers.
• RD# is the read enable for the S1D13705, to be driven low when the host CPU is
reading data from the S1D13705.
• WAIT# is a signal which is output from the S1D13705 to the host CPU that indicates
when data is ready (read cycle) or accepted (write cycle) on the host bus. Since host
CPU accesses to the S1D13705 may occur asynchronously to the display update, it is
possible that contention may occur in accessing the 1375 internal registers and/or
refresh memory. The WAIT# line resolves these contentions by forcing the host to wait
until the resource arbitration is complete. This signal is active low and may need to be
inverted if the host CPU wait state signal is active high.
• The Bus Status (BS#) and Read/Write (RD/WR#) signals are not used in the bus interface for Generic #2 mode. However, BS# is used to configure the S1D13705 for
Generic #2 mode and should be tied high (connected to IO VDD). RD/WR# should also
be tied high.

4 8-Bit Processor to S1D13705 Interface
4.1 Hardware Description
The interface between the S1D13705 and an 8-bit processor requires minimal glue logic. A
decoder is used to generate the chip select for the S1D13705 based on where the S1D13705
is mapped into memory. Alternatively, if the processor supports a chip select module, it can
be programmed to generate a chip select for the S1D13705 without the need of an address
decoder.
An inverter inverts A0 to generate the Byte High Enable signal for the S1D13705. If the
8-bit host interface has an active high WAIT signal, it must be inverted as well.
In order to support an 8-bit microprocessor with a 16-bit peripheral, the low and high order
bytes of the data bus must be connected together. The following diagram shows a typical
implementation of an 8-bit processor interfaced to the S1D13705.

Note:
When connecting the S1D13705 RESET# pin, the system designer should be aware of all
conditions that may reset the S1D13705 (e.g. CPU reset can be asserted during wake-up
from power-down modes, or during debug states).

4.2 S1D13705 Hardware Configuration
The S1D13705 uses CNF4 through CNF0 and BS# to allow selection of the bus mode and
other configuration data on the rising edge of RESET#. Refer to the S1D13705 Hardware
Functional Specification, document number X27A-A-001-xx for details.
The tables below show only those configuration settings important to the 8-bit processor
interface. The endian must be selected based on the 8-bit processor used.

4.3 Register/Memory Mapping
The S1D13705 needs a 128K byte block of memory to accommodate its 80K byte display
buffer and its 32 byte register set. The starting memory address is located at 00000h of the
128K byte memory block while the internal registers are located in the upper 32 bytes of
this memory block. (i.e. REG[0]= 1FFE0h).
An external decoder can be used to decode the address lines and generate a chip select for
the S1D13705 whenever the selected 128K byte memory block is accessed. If the processor
supports a general chip select module, its internal registers can be programmed to generate
a chip select for the S1D13705 whenever the S1D13705 memory block is accessed.
