bits 7-6 Bit-Per-Pixel Bits [1:0]
These bits select the color or gray-scale d epth (Display Mode).
bit 5 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.
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 Swivel-
View mode. Refer to REG[1Bh] SwivelView Mode Register on page 67 for SwivelView
mode clock selection.
