2021年5月16日 · The RGB DAC. Originally, the design had fixed resistor values for the RGB DAC. When testing the terminal on various monitors, it was noticed that different intensity of the same colour was sometimes barely distinguishable (depending of which monitor I used).
Motorola 6845 - Wikipedia
The Motorola 6845, or MC6845, is a display controller that was widely used in 8-bit computers during the 1980s. [1][2] Originally intended for designs based on the Motorola 6800 CPU and given a related part number, it was more widely used alongside various other processors, and was most commonly found in machines based on the Zilog Z80 and MOS 6...
Notes on Video Display Units in Amstrad CPC - Fırat Salgür
2019年10月1日 · This document describes the two chips involved in the video output of Amstrad CPC computers. The two chips are CRTC (HD6845) and Gate Array (40010). CRTC is responsible for generating CRT timings and memory addresses, and Gate Array does conversion from data to RGB signals along with other CPC specific tasks.
