23.2.1.1 Pixel Clock
The pixel clock (LCD_PCLK) frequency is derived from LCD_CLK, the reference clock to this LCD module
(see
). The pixel clock is used by the LCD display to clock the pixel data into the line shift
register.
where CLKDIV is a field in the LCD_CTRL register and should not be 0 or 1.
•
Passive (STN) mode.
LCD_PCLK only transitions when valid data is available for output. It does not
transition when the horizontal clock is asserted or during wait state insertion.
•
Active (TFT) mode.
LCD_PCLK continuously toggles as long as the Raster Controller is enabled.
