1. Introduction
MG21 is a compact size LCD controller with analog RGB (VGA) and DVI inputs. It uses the
Genesis gm5621 chip and supports TFT LCD modules up to SXGA (1,280 x 1,024) native
resolutions (1.31 MPixels) with 16,777,216 colors.
For video inputs beyond the SXGA (1280 x 1024) resolution, the MG21 down scales the input
video to the native resolution of the LCD, and then displays the image over the screen. It supports
video input all the way to WUXGA (1920 x 1200).
