Service Manual VG150 ViewSonic April 1999 - Version 1.0 THEORY OF CIRCUIT OPERATION AM100 The AM100 is capable of performing automatic detection of the display resolution and timing of the input signals generated from various graphic cards. The AM100 then automatically scales the input image to fill the full screen of the LCD monitor. The AM100 can interface with TFT LCD panels from various manufacturers by generating 48-bits R.G.B. signal to the LCD panel based upon the timing parameter saved in the EEPROM (IC07). The AM100 has the following major functions; 1. Input mode detection. 2. Auto calibration. 3. Image scaling. 4. Image interpolation.and dithering. 5. OSD mixer. The following sections will describe the functions. Input Mode Detection The AM100 can automatically detect the mode of the input signal without any user adjustment or driver running on the PC host or external CPU. It automatically detects polarity of input synchronization and the sizes of back porch, valid data window and the synchronization pules width in both vertical and horizontal directions. The size information is then used not only to decide the input resolution, to generate the frequency driver for the input PLL. To lock with HSYNC, but also to automatically scale the image to full screen, and to synchronize the output signal with the input signal. The detection logic is always active to automatically detect any changes to the input mode. Auto Calibration The AM100 can automatically calibrate the phase of the sample clock in order to preserve the bandwidth of input signal and get the best quality. The AM100 implements a proprietary image quality function. During auto-calibration process, the AM100 continues to search for the best phase to optimize the image quality. The output image may display some jitter and blurring during the auto-calibration process, and the image will become crisp and sharp once the optimum phase is found. User can change the sampling clock phase value by the external CPU. The phase calibration process can be delayed and even disabled by the external CPU if system designer wants to have his/her own implementation. The phase calibration can be independently turned ON or OFF by external CPU. When the calibration is turned OFF, external CPU can change the input mode and frequency definitions.
