ETC BT458LPJ125

Bt457/Bt458
125 MHz/135 MHz/165 MHz Monolithic CMOS 256 Color Palette
RAMDAC
The Bt457 and Bt458 are pin- and software-compatible RAMDACs designed specifically
for high-performance, high-resolution color graphics. The architecture enables a display
of 1280 x 1024 bit-mapped color graphics (up to 8 bits per pixel plus up to 2 bits of
overlay information). This minimizes the use of costly ECL interfacing, because most of
the high-speed (pixel clock) logic is contained on-chip. The multiple pixel ports and
internal multiplexing enable TTL-compatible interface (up to 32 MHz) to the frame
buffer, while maintaining the 165 MHz video data rates required for sophisticated color
graphics.
The Bt457 is a single-channel version of the Bt458 and has a 256 x 8 color lookup
table with a single 8-bit video D/A converter. It includes a PLL output to enable subpixel
synchronization of multiple Bt457s.
On-chip features include programmable blink rates, bit plane masking and blinking,
color overlay capability, and a dual-port color palette RAM.

Pin Name
Description
BLANK*
Composite blank control input (TTL compatible). A logical 0 drives the analog outputs to the blanking level, as
specified in Table 1-5. BLANK* is latched on the rising edge of LD*. When BLANK* is a logical 0, the pixel and
overlay inputs are ignored.
SYNC*
Composite sync control input (TTL compatible). A logical 0 on this input switches off a 40 IRE current source on
the IOG output (see Figure 1-4). SYNC* does not override any other control or data input, as illustrated in
Table 1-5; therefore, it should be asserted only during the blanking interval. It is latched on the rising edge of
LD*.
If sync information is not generated on the IOG output, this pin should be connected to GND.
LD*
Load control input (TTL compatible). The P[7:0] {A–E}, OL[1,0] {A–E}, BLANK*, and SYNC* inputs are latched on
the rising edge of LD*. While LD* is either one fourth or one fifth the CLOCK rate, it can be phase independent of
the CLOCK and CLOCK* inputs. LD* can have any duty cycle within the limits specified in the AC Characteristics
section.
P[7:0]
{A–E}
Pixel select inputs (TTL compatible). These inputs are used to specify, on a pixel basis, which of the 256 entries
in the color palette RAM is used to provide color information. Either 4 or 5 consecutive pixels (up to 8 bits per
pixel) are input through this port. They are latched on the rising edge of LD*. Unused inputs should be connected
to GND.
The {A} pixel is output first, followed by the {B} pixel, then the {C} pixel, etc., until all 4 or 5 pixels have been
output, at which point the cycle repeats.
OL[1,0]
{A–E}
Overlay select inputs (TTL compatible). These control inputs are latched on the rising edge of LD*. In conjunction
with bit 6 of the command register, they specify which palette is to be used for color information, as follows:
OL1
OL0
CR6 = 1
CR6 = 0

When accessing the overlay palette, the P[7:0] {A–E} inputs are ignored. Overlay information bits (up to 2 bits per
pixel) for either 4 or 5 consecutive pixels are input through this port. Unused inputs should be connected to GND.
IOR, IOG,
IOB, IOUT
Red, green, and blue video current outputs. These high-impedance current sources can directly drive a doubly
terminated 75 Ω coaxial cable (see Figure 3-2). The Bt457 outputs IOUT rather than IOR, IOG, and IOB.

Pin Name
PLL
Description
Phase lock loop current output—Bt457 only. This high-impedance current source is used to enable multiple
Bt457s to be synchronized with subpixel resolution when used with an external PLL. A logical 1 on the BLANK*
input results in no current being output onto this pin, while a logical 0 results in the following current being
output:
PLL (mA) = 3,227 * VREF (V) / RSET (Ω)
If subpixel synchronization of multiple devices is not required, this output should be connected to GND (either
directly or through a resistor up to 150 Ω).
COMP
Compensation pin. This pin provides compensation for the internal reference amplifier. A 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitor must be connected between this pin and VAA (Figure 3-2). Connecting the capacitor to VAA rather than
to GND provides the highest possible power supply noise rejection. The COMP capacitor must be as close to the
device as possible to keep lead lengths to an absolute minimum and to maximize the capacitor's self-resonant
frequency to be greater than the LD* frequency. The PC Board Layout Considerations section contains critical
layout criteria.
FSADJUST
Full-scale adjust control. A resistor (RSET) connected between this pin and GND controls the magnitude of the
full-scale video signal (Figure 3-1). The IRE relationships in Figure 1-4 are maintained, regardless of the full-scale
output current.
The relationship between RSET and the full-scale output current on IOG (or IOUT for the Bt457) is as follows:
RSET (Ω) = 11,294 * VREF (V) / IOG (mA)
The full-scale output current on IOR and IOB (for the Bt458) for a given RSET is as follows:
IOR, IOB (mA) = 8,067 * VREF (V) / RSET (Ω)
VREF
Voltage reference input. An external voltage reference circuit, such as that illustrated in Figure 3-2, must supply
this input with a 1.235 V (typical) reference. The use of a resistor network to generate the reference is not
recommended, because any low-frequency power supply noise on VREF is directly coupled onto the analog
outputs. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is used to decouple this input to VAA, as shown in Figure 3-2. If VAA is
excessively noisy, better performance can be obtained by decoupling VREF to GND. The decoupling capacitor
must be as close to the device as possible to keep lead lengths to an absolute minimum. Refer to the PC Board
Layout Considerations section for critical layout criteria.
CLOCK,
CLOCK*
Clock inputs. These differential clock inputs are driven by ECL logic configured for single-supply (+5 V)
operation. The clock rate is typically the pixel clock rate of the system. Refer to the PC Board Layout
Considerations section for critical layout criteria.
CE*
Chip enable control input (TTL compatible). This input must be a logical 0 to enable data to be written to or read
from the device. During write operations, data is internally latched on the rising edge of CE*. Glitches should be
avoided on this edge-triggered input.
R/W
Read/write control input (TTL compatible). To write data to the device, both CE* and R/W must be a logical 0. To
read data from the device, CE* must be a logical 0 and R/W must be a logical 1. R/W is latched on the falling edge
of CE*.
C[1,0]
Command control inputs (TTL compatible). C0 and C1 specify the type of read or write operation being
performed, as presented in Table 1-3. They are latched on the falling edge of CE*.
D[7:0]
Data bus (TTL compatible). Data transfers into and out of the device over this 8-bit bidirectional data bus. D0 is
the least significant bit.
VAA
Analog power. All VAA pins must be connected together on the same PCB plane to prevent latchup. Refer to the
PC Board Layout Considerations section for critical layout criteria.
GND
Analog ground. All GND pins must be connected together on the same PCB plane to prevent latchup. Refer to the
PC Board Layout Considerations section for critical layout criteria.

1.3 MPU Interface
125 MHz/135 MHz/165 MHz Monolithic CMOS 256 Color Palette RAMDAC
1.3 MPU Interface
As illustrated in the functional block diagram on the cover page, the Bt457/458
supports a standard MPU bus interface, allowing the MPU direct access to the
internal control registers and color/overlay palettes. The dual-port color palette
RAM and dual-port overlay registers allow color updating, without contention,
with the display refresh process.
As presented in Table 1-3, the C0 and C1 control inputs, in conjunction with
the internal address register, specify which control register, color palette RAM
entry, or overlay register is accessed by the MPU.
The 8-bit address register (ADDR[7:0]) is used to address the internal RAM
and registers, eliminating the requirement for external address multiplexers.
ADDR0 corresponds to D[0] and is the least significant bit.

Control/Test Register
To write color data, the MPU loads the address register with the address of the
color palette RAM location or overlay register to be modified. The MPU
performs three successive write cycles (red, green, and blue), using C0 and C1 to
select either the color palette RAM or overlay registers. During the blue write
cycle, the three bytes of color information are concatenated into a 24-bit word and
written to the location specified by the address register. The address register then
increments to the next location, which the MPU can modify by writing another
sequence of red, green, and blue data.
To read color data, the MPU loads the address register with the address of the
color palette RAM location or overlay register to be read. The MPU performs
three successive read cycles (red, green, and blue), using C0 and C1 to select
either the color palette RAM or overlay registers. Following the blue read cycle,
the address register increments to the next location, which the MPU can read by
reading another sequence of red, green, and blue data.

1.3 MPU Interface
When accessing the color palette RAM, the address register resets to $00 after
a blue read or write cycle to location $FF. When accessing the overlay registers,
the address register increments to $04 following a blue read or write cycle to
overlay register three. To keep track of the red, green, and blue read/write cycles,
the address register has two additional bits that count modulo three. They are reset
to 0 when the MPU reads or writes to the address register. The MPU does not
have access to these bits. The other 8 bits of the address register (ADDR[7:0]) are
accessible to the MPU.
Bt457 Reading/Writing
Color Data
(Normal Mode)
To write color data, the MPU loads the address register with the address of the
color palette RAM location or overlay register to be modified. The MPU
performs a color write cycle, using C0 and C1 to select either the color palette
RAM or the overlay registers. The address register then increments to the next
location, which the MPU can modify by writing another color.
Reading color data is similar to writing it, except the MPU executes read
cycles.
This mode is useful if a 24-bit data bus is available, because 24 bits of color
information (8 bits each of red, green, and blue) can be read or written to three
Bt457s in a single MPU cycle. In this application, the CE* inputs of all three
Bt457s are connected together. If only an 8-bit data bus is available, the CE*
inputs must be individually selected during the appropriate color write cycle (red
CE* during red write cycle, blue CE* during blue write cycle, and green CE*
during green write cycle).
When accessing the color palette RAM, the address register resets to $00 after
a read or write cycle to location $FF. When accessing the overlay registers, the
address register increments to $04 following a read or write cycle to overlay
register three.
Bt457 Reading/Writing
Color Data (RGB Mode)
To write color data, the MPU loads the address register with the address of the
color palette RAM location or overlay register to be modified. The MPU
performs three successive write cycles (8 bits each of red, green, and blue), using
C0 and C1 to select either the color palette RAM or the overlay registers. After
the blue write cycle, the address register then increments to the next location,
which the MPU can modify by writing another sequence of red, green, and blue
data. Reading color data is similar to writing it, except the MPU executes read
cycles.
This mode is useful if only an 8-bit data bus is available. Each Bt457 is
programmed to be a red, green, or blue RAMDAC and responds only to the
assigned color read or write cycle. In this application, the Bt457s share a common
8-bit data bus. The CE* inputs of all three Bt457s must be asserted
simultaneously only during color read/write cycles and address register write
cycles.
When accessing the color palette RAM, the address register resets to $00 after
a blue read or write cycle to location $FF. When accessing the overlay registers,
the address register increments to $04 following a blue read or write cycle to
overlay register three. To keep track of the red, green, and blue read/write cycles,
the address register has two additional bits that count modulo three. They are reset
to 0 when the MPU reads or writes to the address register. The MPU does not
have access to these bits. The other 8 bits of the address register (ADDR[7:0]) are
accessible to the MPU.

1.0 Circuit Description
125 MHz/135 MHz/165 MHz Monolithic CMOS 256 Color Palette RAMDAC
1.3 MPU Interface
Additional Information
Although the color palette RAM and overlay registers are dual-ported, if the pixel
and overlay data are addressing the same palette entry being written to by the
MPU during the write cycle, one or more of the pixels on the display screen can
be disturbed. A maximum of one pixel is disturbed if the write data from the
MPU is valid during the entire chip enable time.
The control registers are also accessed through the address register in
conjunction with the C0 and C1 inputs, as specified in Table 1-3. All control
registers can be written to or read by the MPU at any time. The address register
does not increment following read or write cycles to the control registers,
facilitating read-modify-write operations.
If an invalid address loads into the address register, data written to the device
is ignored, and invalid data is read by the MPU.
Frame Buffer Interface
To enable pixel data to be transferred from the frame buffer at TTL data rates, the
Bt457/458 incorporates internal latches and multiplexers. As illustrated in
Figure 1-3, on the rising edge of LD*, sync and blank information, color (up to 8
bits per pixel), and overlay (up to 2 bits per pixel) information, for either 4 or 5
consecutive pixels, are latched into the device. With this configuration, the sync
and blank timing is recognized only with 4- or 5-pixel resolution. Typically, the
LD* signal is used to clock external circuitry to generate basic video timing.
Each clock cycle, the Bt457/458 outputs color information based on the {A}
inputs, followed by the {B} inputs, then the {C} inputs, etc., until all 4 or 5 pixels
have been output, at which point the cycle repeats.

The overlay inputs can have pixel timing, facilitating the use of additional bit
planes in the frame buffer to control overlay selection on a pixel basis. On the
other hand, they can be controlled by external character or cursor generation
logic.
To simplify the frame buffer interface timing, LD* can be phase shifted in any
amount relative to CLOCK. This enables the LD* signal to be derived by
externally dividing CLOCK by 4 or 5 independent of the propagation delays of
the LD* generation logic. As a result, the pixel and overlay data are latched on the
rising edge of LD*, independent of the clock phase.

1.0 Circuit Description
125 MHz/135 MHz/165 MHz Monolithic CMOS 256 Color Palette RAMDAC
1.3 MPU Interface
Internal logic maintains an internal LOAD signal synchronous to CLOCK and
is guaranteed to follow the LD* signal by at least one, but not more than four,
clock cycles. This LOAD signal transfers the latched pixel and overlay data into a
second set of latches, which are then internally multiplexed at the pixel clock rate.
If 4:1 multiplexing is specified, only one rising edge of LD* should occur
every four clock cycles. If 5:1 multiplexing is specified, only one rising edge of
LD* should occur every five clock cycles. Otherwise, the internal LOAD
generation circuitry assumes it is not locked onto the LD* signal and
continuously attempts to resynchronize itself to LD*.
Color Selection
Each clock cycle, 8 bits of color information (P7:0) and 2 bits of overlay
information (OL1,0) for each pixel are processed by the read mask, blink mask,
and command registers. Through the control registers, individual bit planes can
be enabled or disabled for display, and/or blinked at one of four blink rates and
duty cycles.
To ensure blinking does not cause a color change to occur during the active
display time (i.e., in the middle of the screen), the Bt457/458 monitors the
BLANK* input to determine vertical retrace intervals. A vertical retrace interval
is recognized by determining that BLANK* has been a logical 0 for at least 256
LD* cycles.
The processed pixel data is then used to select which color palette entry or
overlay register is to provide color information. P[0] is the LSB when addressing
the color palette RAM. Table 1-4 is the truth table used for color selection.

Every clock cycle, the selected color information, from the color palette RAMs or
overlay registers, is presented to the D/A converters.
The SYNC* and BLANK* inputs are pipelined to maintain synchronization
with the pixel data. They add appropriately weighted currents to the analog
outputs, producing the specific output levels required for video applications, as
described in Figure 1-4.
Varying output current from each D/A converter produces a corresponding
voltage level, used to drive the color CRT monitor. Only the green output (IOG)
on the Bt458 contains sync information. Table 1-5 details how the SYNC* and
BLANK* inputs modify the output levels.
The D/A converters on the Bt457 and Bt458 use a segmented architecture in
which bit currents are routed to either the current output or GND by a
sophisticated decoding scheme. This architecture eliminates the need for

guaranteed by using identical current sources and current steering their outputs.

CLOCK rate.
The pipeline delay of the Bt457/458 can be reset to a fixed eight clock
cycles. In this instance, each time the input multiplexing is changed, the
Bt457/458 must again be reset to a fixed pipeline delay.

These 2 bits control the blink rate cycle time and duty cycle, and are

If a logical 1, this bit forces the OL1 {A–E} inputs to toggle between a

2.2 Read Mask Register
The read mask register enables (logical 1) or disables (logical 0) a bit plane from
addressing the color palette RAM. D[0] corresponds to bit plane 0 (P0 {A–E}),
and D[7] corresponds to bit plane 7 (P7 {A–E}). Each register bit is logically
ANDed with the corresponding bit plane input. This register can be written to or
read by the MPU at any time and is not initialized. For proper operation, it must
be initialized by the user after power-up.
2.3 Blink Mask Register
The blink mask register enables (logical 1) or disables (logical 0) a bit plane from
blinking at the blink rate and duty cycle specified by the command register. D[0]
corresponds to bit plane 0 (P0 {A–E}), and D[7] corresponds to bit plane 7 (P7

register must be a logical 1. This register can be written to or read by the MPU at
any time and is not initialized. For proper operation, it must be initialized by the
user after power-up.
2.4 Bt458 Test Register
The test register provides diagnostic capability by enabling the MPU to read
the D/A converters inputs. It can be written to or read by the MPU at any time and
is not initialized. For proper operation, it must be initialized by the user after
power-up. When writing to the register, the upper 4 bits (D[7:4]) are ignored.

To use the control/test register, the MPU writes to it, specifying the low or
high nibble of color information. When the MPU reads the register, the four bits
of color information from the DAC inputs are contained in the upper four bits,
and the lower four bits contain whatever was previously written to the register.
Either the CLOCK must be slowed down to the MPU cycle time, or the same
pixel and overlay data must be presented to the device during the entire MPU read
cycle.
The red, green, and blue enable bits specify the mode in which color data is
written to and read from, the Bt457. If all three enable bits are logical 0s, each
write cycle to the color palette RAM or overlay registers loads 8 bits of color data.
During each read cycle of the color palette RAM or overlay registers, 8 bits of
color data are output onto the data bus. If a 24-bit data bus is available, three
Bt457s can be accessed simultaneously.
If any of the red, green, or blue enable bits is a logical 1, the Bt457 assumes
the MPU is reading and writing color information using red-green-blue cycles,
such as are used in the Bt458. Setting the appropriate enable bit configures the
Bt457 to output or input color data only for the color read/write cycle
corresponding to the enabled color. Thus, if the green enable bit is a logical 1, and
a red-green-blue write cycle occurred, the Bt457 would input data only during the
green write cycle. If a red-green-blue read cycle occurred, the Bt457 would output
data only during the green read cycle. CE* must be a logical 0 during each of the
red-green-blue cycles. Only one of the enable bits must be a logical 1. This mode
of operation is useful when only an 8-bit data bus is available and the software
drivers are written for RGB operation.

3.0 PC Board Layout Considerations
3.1 PC Board Considerations
The Bt457 and Bt458 layouts should be optimized for lowest noise on their power
and ground lines by shielding the digital inputs and providing good decoupling.
The trace length between groups of VAA and GND pins should be as short as
possible to minimize inductive ringing.
A well-designed power distribution network is critical to eliminate digital
switching noise. The ground plane must provide a low-impedance return path for
the digital circuits. A PC board with a minimum of six layers is recommended.
The ground layer is used as a shield to isolate noise from the analog traces with
layer 1 (top) the analog traces, layer two the ground plane, layer three the analog
power plane, and the remaining layers used for digital traces and digital power
supplies.
The optimum layout enables the Bt457 and Bt458 to be located as close as
possible to the power supply connector and the video output connector.

3.2 Power and Ground Planes
Power and ground planes need isolation gaps to minimize digital switching noise
effects on the analog signals and components. These gaps need to be at least
1/8-inch wide. They are placed so that digital currents cannot flow through a
peninsula that contains the analog components, signals, and video connector.

3.3 Device Decoupling
3.3 Device Decoupling
For optimum performance, all capacitors should be located as close as possible to
the device, using the shortest possible leads (consistent with reliable operation) to
reduce the lead inductance. Chip capacitors are recommended for minimum lead
inductance. Radial lead ceramic capacitors can be substituted for chip capacitors
and are better than axial lead capacitors for self-resonance. Values chosen have
self-resonance above the pixel clock.
3.4 Power Supply Decoupling
The best power supply decoupling performance is obtained by providing a 0.1 µF
ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 0.01 µF chip capacitor to decouple each group
of VAA pins to GND. The capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the
device VAA and GND pins.
The 10 µF capacitor illustrated in Figure 3-2 is for low-frequency power
supply ripple; the 0.1 µF and 0.01 µF capacitors are for high-frequency power
supply noise rejection. The decoupling capacitors should be connected at the
VAA and GND pins, using short, wide traces.
When using a linear regulator, the power-up sequence must be verified to
prevent latchup. A linear regulator is recommended to filter the analog power
supply if the power supply noise is greater than 200 mV. This is especially
important when using a switching power supply and the switching frequency is
close to the raster scan frequency.
NOTE:
L45801 Rev. N
About 10 percent of power supply hum and ripple noise less than 1 MHz
will couple onto the analog outputs.

3.5 COMP Decoupling
125 MHz/135 MHz/165 MHz Monolithic CMOS 256 Color Palette RAMDAC
3.5 COMP Decoupling
The COMP pin must be decoupled to VAA, typically with a 0.1 µF ceramic
capacitor. Low-frequency supply noise requires a larger value. The COMP
capacitor must be as close as physically possible to the COMP and VAA pins. A
surface-mount ceramic chip capacitor is preferred for minimal lead inductance,
which degrades the noise rejection of the circuit. Short, wide traces also reduce
lead inductance.
If the display has a ghosting problem, additional capacitance connected in
parallel with the COMP capacitor can help.
3.6 Digital Signal Interconnect
Digital inputs to the Bt457 and Bt458 should be isolated as much as possible from
the analog outputs and other analog circuitry. Also, these input signals should not
overlay the analog power and output signals.
Most noise on the analog outputs is caused by excessive edge rates (less than 3
ns), overshoot, undershoot, and ringing on the digital inputs.
The digital edge rates should be no faster than necessary, because feedthrough
noise is proportional to the digital edge rates. Lower speed applications benefit
from using lower speed logic (3–5 ns edge rates) to reduce data-related noise on
the analog outputs.
Transmission lines mismatch if the lines do not match the source and
destination impedance. This degrades signal fidelity if the line length reflection
time is greater than one fourth the signal edge time. Line termination or line
length reduction is the solution. For example, logic edge rates of 2 ns require line
lengths of less than four inches without using termination. Ringing can be
reduced by damping the line with a series resistor (30–300 Ω).
Radiation of digital signals can also be picked up by the analog circuitry. This
is prevented by reducing the digital edge rates (rise/fall time), minimizing ringing
with damping resistors, and minimizing coupling through PC board capacitance
by routing the signals 90 degrees to any analog signals.
The clock driver and all other digital devices on the circuit board must be
adequately decoupled to prevent the noise generated by digital devices from
coupling into the analog circuitry.

3.7 Analog Signal Interconnect
3.7 Analog Signal Interconnect
The Bt457 and Bt458 should be located as close as possible to the output
connectors. This minimizes noise pickup and reflections caused by impedance
mismatch.
Analog outputs are susceptible to crosstalk from digital lines; digital traces
must not be routed under or adjacent to the analog output traces.
To maximize the high-frequency power supply rejection, the video output
signals should not overlay the analog power plane.
For maximum performance, the analog video output impedance, cable
impedance, and load impedance should be the same.
Analog output video edges exceeding the CRT monitor bandwidth can be
reflected, producing cable-length dependent ghosts. Simple pulse filters can
reduce high-frequency energy, reducing EMI and noise. The filter impedance
must match the line impedance.
3.8 Analog Output Protection
The Bt457 and Bt458 analog outputs should be protected against high-energy
discharges, such as those from monitor arc-over or from “hot-switching”
AC-coupled monitors.
The diode protection circuit illustrated in Figure 3-2 can prevent latchup under
severe discharge conditions without adversely degrading analog transition times.
The 1N4148/9 are low-capacitance, fast-switching diodes, which are available in
multiple-device packages (FSA250X or FSA270X) or surface-mountable pairs
(BAV99 or MMBD7001).

4.1 Clock Interfacing
Because of the high clock rates at which the Bt457 and Bt458 can operate, they
will accept differential clock signals (CLOCK and CLOCK*). These clock inputs
are generated by ECL logic operating at +5 V. The CLOCK and CLOCK* inputs
require termination resistors (220 Ω to GND) that should be located as close as
possible to the clock driver. A 150 Ω chip resistor connected between the
RAMDAC’s CLOCK and CLOCK* pins is also required to ensure proper
termination. It should be located as close as possible to the RAMDAC. Figure 4-1
illustrates the location.

4.1 Clock Interfacing
Applications of 165 MHz require robust ECL clock signals with strong
pulldown (–20 mA at VOH) and double termination for clock trace lengths
greater than 2 inches.
The CLOCK and CLOCK* inputs must be differential signals and greater
than 0.6 V peak to peak because of the noise margins of the CMOS process. The
Bt457/458 will not function if it uses a single-ended clock with CLOCK*
connected to ground.
Typically, LD* is generated by dividing CLOCK by 4 or 5 (depending on
whether 4:1 or 5:1 multiplexing was specified) and translating the result to TTL
levels. As LD* can be phase shifted relative to CLOCK, propagation delays need
not be considered when the LD* signal is derived. LD* can be used as the shift
clock for the video DRAMs and to generate the fundamental video timing of the
system (e.g., SYNC* and BLANK*).
It is recommended that the Bt438 or Bt439 Clock Generator Chips be used to
generate the clock and load signals. Both support the 4:1 and 5:1 input
multiplexing of the Bt457/458, and set the pipeline delay of the Bt457 and Bt458
to eight clock cycles. Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 illustrate use of the Bt438 with
the Bt457/458.
When a single Bt457 is used, the PLL output is ignored and should be
connected to GND (either directly or through a resistor up to 150 Ω).

Setting the Pipeline
Delay (Bt457 and Bt458)

The pipeline delay of the Bt457/458, although fixed after a power-up condition,
can be anywhere from six to ten clock cycles. The Bt457/458 contains additional
circuitry enabling the pipeline delay to be fixed at eight clock cycles. The Bt438
and Bt439 Clock Generator Chips support this mode of operation when they are
used with the Bt457/458.
To reset the Bt457/458, it should be powered up with LD*, CLOCK, and
CLOCK* running. The CLOCK and CLOCK* signals should be stopped with
CLOCK high and CLOCK* low for at least three rising edges of LD*. The device
can be held with CLOCK and CLOCK* stopped for an unlimited time.

4.0 Application Information
125 MHz/135 MHz/165 MHz Monolithic CMOS 256 Color Palette RAMDAC
4.1 Clock Interfacing
CLOCK and CLOCK* should be restarted so that the first edge of the signals
is as close as possible to the rising edge of LD*. (The falling edge of CLOCK
leads the rising edge of LD* by no more than 1 clock cycle or follows the rising
edge of LD* by no more than 1.5 clock cycles). When the clocks are restarted, the
minimum clock pulse width must not be violated.
When the Bt457/458 is reset to an eight-clock-cycle pipeline delay, the blink
counter circuitry is not reset. Therefore, if multiple Bt457/458s are used in
parallel, the on-chip blink counters cannot be synchronized. In this instance, the
blink mask register should be $00, and the overlay blink enable bits should be
logical 0s. Software can control blinking through the read mask register and
overlay display enable bits.
In standard operation, the Bt457/458 must be reset only following a power-up
or reset condition. Under these circumstances the on-chip blink circuitry can be
used.

synchronizes the clock and load signals to subpixel resolution, and sets the
pipeline delay of the Bt457 to eight clock cycles. The Bt439 can also be used to
interface the Bt457 to a TTL clock. Figure 4-3 illustrates use of the Bt439 with

Subpixel synchronization is supported by the PLL output. Essentially, PLL
provides a signal to indicate the amount of analog output delay of the Bt457
relative to CLOCK. The Bt439 compares the phase of the PLL signals generated
by up to four Bt457s, and adjusts the phase of each of the CLOCK and CLOCK*
signals to the Bt457s to minimize the PLL phase difference. There should be
minimal layout skew in the CLOCK and PLL trace paths to ensure proper clock
alignment.
If subpixel synchronization of multiple Bt457s is not necessary, the Bt438
Clock Generator Chip can be used rather than the Bt439. In this instance, the
CLOCK, CLOCK*, and LD* inputs of up to four Bt457s are connected together
and driven by a single Bt438 (daisy chain with single balanced termination for
<100 MHz or through a 10H116 buffer for >100 MHz). The VREF inputs of the
Bt457s must still have a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to VAA. The PLL outputs would
not be used and should be connected to GND (either directly or through a resistor
up to 150 Ω).

4.2 Using Multiple Devices
When multiple RAMDACs are used, each RAMDAC should have its own power
plane ferrite bead. In addition, a single voltage reference can drive multiple
devices; however, isolation resistors are recommended to reduce color channel
crosstalk.
Higher performance can be obtained if each RAMDAC has its own voltage
reference. This can further reduce the amount of color channel crosstalk and color
palette interaction.
Each RAMDAC must still have its own RSET resistor, analog output
termination resistors, power supply bypass capacitors, COMP capacitor, and
VREF capacitor.
4.3 Bt457 Nonvideo Applications
The Bt457 can be used in nonvideo applications by disabling the video-specific
control signals. SYNC* should be a logical 0, and BLANK* should be a logical 1.
The relationship between RSET and the full-scale output current (Iout) in this
configuration is as follows:
RSET (Ω) = 7,457 * VREF (V) / Iout (mA)
With the DAC data inputs at $00, there is a DC offset current (Imin) defined
as follows:
Imin (mA) = 610 * VREF (V) / RSET (Ω)
Therefore, the total full-scale output current is Iout + Imin.

delay of eight clock cycles, this initialization sequence must be performed after
the reset sequence. The command register must also be reinitialized when the
multiplex selection changes (e.g., from 4:1 to 5:1 input multiplexing).
This sequence configures the Bt458 as follows:

4.5 Initializing the Bt457 (Monochrome)
Following a power-on sequence, the Bt457 must be initialized. If the clock/LD*
sequence is controlled to reset the pipeline delay of the Bt457 to a fixed pipeline
delay of eight clock cycles, this initialization sequence must be performed after
the reset sequence. The command register must also be reinitialized when the

4.6 Initializing the Bt457 (Color) 24-bit MPU
Data Bus
In this example, three Bt457s are used in parallel to generate true color. A 24-bit
MPU data bus is available to access all three Bt457s in parallel.
The operation and initialization are the same as the monochrome application
of the Bt457.
4.7 Initializing the Bt457 (Color) 8-bit MPU Data
Bus
In this example, three Bt457s are used in parallel to generate true color. An 8-bit
MPU data bus is available to access the Bt457s.
While accessing the command, read mask, blink mask, and control/test and
address registers, each Bt457 must be accessed individually. While accessing the
color palette RAM or overlay registers, all three Bt457s are accessed
simultaneously.
Following a power-on sequence, the Bt457s must be initialized. If the
clock/LD* sequence is controlled to reset the pipeline delay of the Bt457s to a
fixed pipeline delay of eight clock cycles, this initialization sequence must be
performed after the reset sequence. The command register must also be
reinitialized when the multiplex selection changes (e.g., from 4:1 to 5:1 input
multiplexing).
This sequence configures the Bt457s as follows:

NOTE(S):
(1)
This device uses high-impedance CMOS devices on all signal pins. It should be handled as an ESD-sensitive device. Voltage
on any signal pin that exceeds the power supply voltage by more than +0.5 V can induce destructive latchup.
2. Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability.

NOTE(S):
(1)
Clock and data feedthrough is a function of the number of edge rates and the amount of overshoot and undershoot on the
digital inputs. For this test, the TTL digital inputs have a 1 k Ω resistor to GND and are driven by 74HC logic. Settling time does
not include clock and data feedthrough. Glitch impulse includes clock and data feedthrough, and –3 dB test bandwidth = 2x
clock rate.
(2)
Does not apply to the Bt457.
