14.2 Frame Rate Calculation
The frame rate is calculated using the following formula:
Where:
VDP
= Vertical Display Period
= REG[09h] bits [1:0], REG[08h] bits [7:0] + 1
VNDP
= Vertical Non-Display Period
= REG[0Ah] bits [5:0] + 1
= in table below
HDP
= Horizontal Display Period
= ((REG[04h] bits [6:0]) + 1) * 8Ts
HNDP
= Horizontal Non-Display Period
= ((REG[05h] bits [4:0]) + 1) * 8Ts
= given in table below
Ts
= Pixel Clock
= PCLK
