14.2 Frame Rate Calculation

The frame rate is calculated using the following formula:

Where:

VDP = Vertical Display Period = REG[09h] bits [1:0], REG[08h] bits [7:0] + 1
VNDP = Vertical Non-Display Period = REG[0Ah] bits [5:0] + 1
= in table below
HDP = Horizontal Display Period = ((REG[04h] bits [6:0]) + 1) * 8Ts
HNDP = Horizontal Non-Display Period = ((REG[05h] bits [4:0]) + 1) * 8Ts
= given in table below
Ts = Pixel Clock = PCLK
