Beginning-of-Line Pixel Clock Wait Count (BLW)

The 8-bit beginning-of-line pixel clock wait count (BLW) field is used to specify the number of
“dummy” pixel clocks to insert at the beginning of each line or row of pixels. After the line clock
for the previous line has been negated, the value in BLW is used to count the number of pixel
clocks to wait before starting to output the first set of pixels in the next line. BLW generates a wait
period ranging from 1 to 256 pixel clock cycles. The user should program BLW with the desired
number of pixel clocks minus one. Note that the pixel clock pin, L_PCLK, does not transition
during these “dummy” pixel clock cycles in passive display mode (pixel clock transitions
continuously in active display mode).

The following table shows the location of the four bit fields located in LCD control register 1
(LCCR1). The LCD controller must be disabled (LEN=0) when changing the state of any field
within this register.

Description

9..0

PPL

Pixels per line.

Value (from 1 to 1024). Used to specify number of pixels contained within each line on
the LCD display. Pixels/line = (PPL+16).

Note that PPL<3:0> are not implemented but return zeros when read.

15..10

HSW

Horizontal sync pulse width.

Value (from 1 to 64). Used to specify number of pixel clock periods to pulse the line
clock at the end of each line. HSYNC pulse width = (HSW+1).

Note that pixel clock is held in its inactive state during the generation of the line clock in
passive display mode and is permitted to transition in active display mode.

23..16

ELW

End-of-line pixel clock wait count.

Value (from 1 to 256). Used to specify number of pixel clock periods to add to the end of
a line transmission before line clock is asserted. EOL = (ELW+1).

Note that pixel clock is held in its inactive state during the end-of-line wait period in
passive display mode and is permitted to transition in active display mode.

31..24

BLW

Beginning-of-line pixel clock wait count.

Value (from 1 to 256). Used to specify number of pixel clock periods to add to the
beginning of a line transmission before the first set of pixels is output to the display.
BOL wait = (BLW+1).

Note that pixel clock is held in its inactive state during the beginning-of-line wait period
in passive display mode and is permitted to transition in active display mode.
