The Digital Blocks DB9000AXI TFT LCD Controller IP Core interfaces a microprocessor and frame buffer memory via the AMBA AXI Protocol Interconnect to a TFT LCD panel. The DB9000AXI contains a selectable 256 / 128 / 64 / 32-bit AXI Master Interface that targets higher resolution, higher color depth TFT LCD panels, with their resulting high frame buffer memory data bandwidth requirements.
The DB9000AXI IP Core can be implemented in an ASIC, ASSP, or FPGA device with an embedded microprocessor, an AMBA AXI / AHB Interconnect fabric, and SDRAM Controller for access to frame buffer memory. Typically, the microprocessor is an ARC, ARM, Intel, MIPS, OpenSPARC, PowerPC, or Tensilica processor and frame buffer memory is off-chip DDR / DDR2 / DDR3 SDRAM.
