GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Winbond s An on-chip RAMDAC and a dual programmable clock synthesizer with a 170 MHz pixel data rate are also integrated into the chip to simplify system design and reduce cost. In addition to 100% IBM VGA registerlevel compatibility, the W9971CF incorporates a 64-bit graphics engine (GE) to accelerate drawing functions such as bit block transfer (BitBLT), line drawing, clipping, and hardware cursor manipulation. The W9971CF s integrated video accelerator (VA) features high-quality video filtering, bilinear interpolating scaling along both the X and Y axes, color space conversion and overlay keying. In addition to accelerating software video playback, the W9971CF also provides an advanced multimedia video interface for glueless interfacing to major TV decoders such as the Philips SAA711X and the Brooktree Bt815A/7A/9A. The 16-bit baseline VESA Advanced Feature Connector (VAFC) and the 8-bit bidirectional IBM Feature Connector are also supported for legacy video applications.
