GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SMC CRT 8021 Video Attributes Controller (VAC) is an n-channel COPLAMOS® MOS/LSI device. It contains wide and thin graphics logic, attributes logic, a data latch, field and character attribute latch, a blinking cursor, and a high speed video shift register. The CRT 8021 VAC isa panion to SMC's CRT 5027/37VTAC® or CRT 9007 VPAC. The CRT 8021 and a character ROM bined with either a CRT 5027/37 or a CRT 9007 prises the major circuitry required for the display portion of a CRT video terminal.
The CRT 8021 video output may be connected directly to a CRT monitor video input. The CRT 5027/37 or CRT 9007 blanking output can be connected directly to the CRT 8021 retrace blank input to provide both horizontal and vertical retrace blanking of the video output.
A blinking cursor is available on the CRT 8021. There is a separate cursor blink rate which is twice the character blink rate and has a duty cycle of 50/50. strike-thru are similar but independently controlled functions. These attributes are available in all modes.
The thin graphic mode enables the user to create single line...
