Overview
Digital Blocks' TFT LCD Controller reference design enables you to accelerate the design-in of TFT LCD panel displays in your system. The reference design centers on the Digital Blocks DB9000AVLN TFT LCD Controller intellectual property (IP) core, which is available in netlist or VHDL/Verilog HDL register transfer level (RTL) formats.
The DB9000AVLN core contains an Avalon® Memory-Mapped system interconnect for interfacing to the Nios® II embedded processor and SDRAM or SRAM controllers (either memory can serve as the frame buffer). Software supplied with this reference design runs on the Nios II embedded processor to place an image in the frame buffer memory and invokes the DB9000AVLN core to drive the LCD panel.
Using the Intel Quartus® design software, you can instantiate the TFT LCD Controller reference design in a Cyclone®, Cyclone II, or Cyclone III FPGA development kit. See the Demonstrated Intel Technology section for a complete list of supported Intel FPGA development kits.
You can connect your LCD panel to the Intel FPGA development kit with the fabrication of an appropriate cable. Please contact Digital Blocks for more details.
