    摘要: A microprocessor based data processing system including a microprocessor, a memory unit, and a display unit is provided with a programmable graphics generator that transfers graphics information from the memory unit to the display unit in response to and control of a set of display instructions also stored in the memory unit. The graphics generator includes a first addressing unit for sequentially accessing the display instructions from the memory unit; a control unit for receiving, storing and decoding such instruction and for issuing supervisory and control signals in response to the binary state of each instruction; a second addressing unit for accessing graphics information from the memory unit in response to the supervisory signals from the control unit; and a third addressing unit for accessing movable object graphics stored in the memory unit.

    摘要: A computer that provides data to a video display using a bitmap display memory organization and bitplane addressing. Separate control is provided for two bitplane backgrounds and for eight reusable and easily movable sprites. Additional logic allows for dynamically-controllable interobject priority and collision detection among data in each of the bitplane backgrounds and sprites. A coprocessor provides for video beam-synchronized changes to data in registers, freeing the main processor for general purpose computing tasks. A block image transferer is provided to rapidly copy data in large blocks from one memory location to another. In hold-and-modify mode, color output circuitry holds the values for a previously displayed pixel while bitplane data modifies those values, allowing for simultaneous display of a greatly increased number of colors.

    摘要: A video game home computer is implemented in NMOS (n type metal oxide semiconductor) technology with plural microprocessors. Centralized bus architecture and direct memory access (DMA) techniques are employed. A video display generator provides color signal outputs to drive a commercial television receiver display. This display generator receives inputs from both microprocessors and obtains data directly from memory. A bit map of display information is kept in memory, wherein bits of information in memory image the precise screen display for each instance in time. A bit map manipulator circuit performs, under microprocessor direction, logic function manipulation of the bit map data. Access between system components is accomplished via the bus architecture on a priority queue basis. Chip count and chip area is minimized.

    摘要: A bidirectional universal serial bus (USB) includes switched terminations that are selectively activated to terminate the receiving end of the data bus in its characteristic impedance. The USB includes a twisted pair data cable that permits bidirectional data communication between a USB interface in a computer and a USB peripheral device. To control the bidirectional communication, the USB defines a transmit mode and a receive mode. Each end of the twisted pair data cable includes a selectively activatable switch termination that terminates the twisted pair data cable in its characteristic impedance when selectively activated. When the USB peripheral device is in the receive mode, the switched termination within the USB peripheral device is selectively activated so that the twisted pair data cable is terminated in its characteristic impedance. This reduces ringing and electromagnetic (EM) radiation on the twisted pair data cable. The switched termination within the USB interface in the computer is not activated when the USB interface is in the transmit mode. If the USB peripheral is placed in the transmit mode, and the USB interface in the computer is placed in the receive mode, the switched termination within the USB interface in the computer is selectively activated while the switched termination within the USB peripheral is placed in an inactive state. In this manner, the twisted pair data cable is always terminated in the proper impedance only at the receiving end.
