7.5.4. 6-bit RGB Interface
The 6-bit RGB interface is selected by setting the RIM[1:0] bits to “10”. The display operation is synchronized
with VSYNC, HSYNC, and DOTCLK signals. Display data are transferred to the internal GRAM in
synchronization with the display operation via 6-bit RGB data bus (DB[17:12]) according to the data enable
signal (ENABLE). Unused pins (DB[11:0]) must be fixed at GND level. Registers can be set by the system
interface (i80/SPI).

RGB Assignment
Data transfer synchronization in 6-bit RGB interface mode
ILI9325 has data transfer counters to count the first, second, third data transfers in 6-bit RGB interface mode.
The transfer counter is always reset to the state of first data transfer on the falling edge of VSYNC. If a
mismatch arises in the number of each data transfer, the counter is reset to the state of first data transfer at
the start of the frame (i.e. on the falling edge of VSYNC) to restart data transfer in the correct order from the
next frame. This function is expedient for moving picture display, which requires consecutive data transfer in
light of minimizing effects from failed data transfer and enabling the system to return to a normal state.
Note that internal display operation is performed in units of pixels (RGB: taking 3 inputs of DOTCLK).
Accordingly, the number of DOTCLK inputs in one frame period must be a multiple of 3 to complete data
transfer correctly. Otherwise it will affect the display of that frame as well as the next frame.
