bits 1-0 Reserved
These bits must be set to 0.
Optimal DRAM Timing
The following table contains the o ptimally programmed values of NRC, N RP, and NRCD for different
DRAM types, at maximum MCLK frequencies.
bit 0 Reserved
This reserved bit must be set to 0.
bit 7 Display FIFO Disable
When this bit = 1 the display FIFO is disabled and all data outputs are forced to zero (i.e., the
screen is blanked). This accelerates screen updates by allocating more memory bandwidth to CPU
accesses.
When this bit = 0 the display FIFO is enabled.
Note
For further performance increase in dual panel mode disable the half frame buffer (see section
8.2.7) and disable the cursor (see section 8.2.9).
