ST7669V
7.3.2 Address Control
The address counter sets the addresses of the display data RAM for writing.
Data is written pixel into the RAM matrix of ST7669V. The data for one pixel or two pixels is collected (RGB 6-6-6 bit),
according to the data formats. As soon as this pixel-data information is complete, the “Write access” is activated on the
RAM. The locations of RAM are addressed by the address pointers. The address ranges are X=0 to X=131 (83h) and Y=0
to Y=161 (A1h). Addresses outside these ranges are not allowed.
Before writing to the RAM, a window must be defined into which will be written. The window is programmable via the
command registers XS, YS designating the start address and XE, YE designating the end address.
For example the whole display contents will be written, the window is defined by the following values: XS=0 (0h) YS=0 (0h)
and XE=131 (83h), YE=161 (A1h).
In vertical addressing mode (MV=1), the Y-address increments after each byte, after the last Y-address (Y=YE), Y wraps
around to YS and X increments to address the next column. In horizontal addressing mode (MV=0), the X-address
increments after each byte, after the last X-address (X=XE), X wraps around to SC and Y increments to address the next
row. After the every last address (X=XE and Y=XE) the address pointers wrap around to address (X=XS and Y=YS). For
flexibility in handling a wide variety of display architectures, the commands “CASET, RASET” and “MADCTR” , define flags
MX, MY and MV, which allows mirroring of the X-address and Y-address. All combinations of flags are allowed. Figure
7.3-1 show the available combinations of writing to the display RAM. When MX, MY and MV will be changed the data must
be rewritten to the display RAM.
For each image condition, the controls for the column and row counters apply as below:
