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:

FrameRate =	PCLK
	(---HDP--------------+-----HNDP------------------)---⋅-----(---VDP--------------+-----VNDP------------------)

for a dual passive panel the formula is:

FrameRate =		PCLK
		2-----⋅-----(--HDP--------------+-----HNDP------------------)----⋅------------VDP----------		+-----VNDP------------------
			2	
where: PCLK	= Pixel clock (in Hz)
HDP	= Horizontal Display Period (in pixels)
HNDP	= Horizontal Non-Display Period (in pixels)
VDP	= Vertical Display Period (in lines)
VNDP	= 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);

}
