3.3.3.1
GCLK for Each Sub-Period
When one bank of the display memory is selected for display, the external controller sends the GCLK
signal to start the next frame.
The number of GCLKs in rising-edge mode is calculated by
:
Number of GCLKs = 2
n
+ LGSC1 + MGSE2 + 1
where
•
n is determined by the selected PWM mode. n = 8 when the 8+8 mode is selected; n = 7 when the 7+9
mode is selected.
•
LGSC1 is set in FC2 (See
•
MGSE2 is the additional clocks and equals to 19.
(3)
When in dual-edge mode, the number of GCLKs should be half of the rising-edge mode.
