Signal descriptions

  • CK: Input clock from the VEC, configured by the CPU.
  • /CS: Chip select. Connected to CPU /CE7, selecting the VDC when writing to $FF:$0000-$03FF.
  • 8/16: Controls CPU data bus width. This is connected to +5V.
  • CPU D15..8: The upper half of the CPU data bus when operating in 16-bit mode. However, the PC Engine uses 8-bit mode exclusively, so these are not connected.
  • /IRQ: Interrupt output to the CPU.
  • /BUSY: Asserted during CPU writes until the VDC is able to service the write. Connected to CPU RDY.
  • MA15..0: The VDC VRAM address bus.
  • MD15..0: The VDC VRAM data bus.
  • /MRD, /MWR: Indicates read and write on the VDC VRAM bus.
  • SPBG, VD7..0: The 9-bit color index output to the VCE. SPBG acts as bit 8. High for sprites and low for backgrounds.
  • /HSYN, /VSYN: Horizontal and vertical sync from the VCE, to which the VDC synchronizes its video output.
  • DISP: A test output indicating different regions of the picture, configured through control register (CR, register $05) and normally not connected:
    • CR.9..8 = 00: DISP - asserted during active pixels.
    • CR.9..8 = 01: BURST - deasserted during color burst.
    • CR.9..8 = 10: INTHSYNC - outputs the internal horizontal sync signal.
    • CR.9..8 = 11: (unused)
