Palette Access FIFO Diagnostic Registers
The Palette Access registers are used for accessing the internal palette RAM and extensions. In addition to the standard
256 entries for color translation, the palette has extensions for cursor colors and overscan (border) color.
The diagnostics registers enable testability of the display FIFO and compression FIFO.
6.6.7.1
DC Palette Address (DC_PAL_ADDRESS)
This register should be written with the address (index) location to be used for the next access to the (DC_PAL_DATA regis-
ter DC Memory Offset 074h).

PAL_ADDR
PAL Address.
This 9-bit field specifies the address to be used for the next access to the
DC_PAL_DATA register (DC Memory Offset 074h). Each access to the data register auto-
matically increments the palette address register. If non-sequential access is made to the
palette, the address register must be loaded between each non-sequential data block. The
address ranges are as follows:
Address
Color
0h - FFh
Standard Palette Colors
100h
Cursor Color 0
101h
Cursor Color 1
102h
RSVD
103h

104h
Overscan Color
105h - 1FFh
Not Valid
Note that in general, 24-bit values are loaded for all color extensions. However, if a 16-bpp
mode is active, only the appropriate most significant bits are used (5:5:5 or 5:6:5).
