8.3.20 Internal Pattern Generation
The DS90UB949-Q1 serializer provides an internal pattern generation feature. It allows basic testing and
debugging of an integrated panel. The test patterns are simple and repetitive and allow for a quick visual
verification of panel operation. As long as the device is not in power down mode, the test pattern will be
displayed even if no input is applied. If no clock is received, the test pattern can be configured to use a
programmed oscillator frequency. For detailed information, refer to Application Note AN-2198.
8.3.20.1 Pattern Options
The DS90UB949-Q1 serializer pattern generator is capable of generating 17 default patterns for use in basic
testing and debugging of panels. Each can be inverted using register bits (Table 10), shown below:
1. White/Black (default/inverted)
2. Black/White
3. Red/Cyan
4. Green/Magenta
5. Blue/Yellow
6. Horizontally Scaled Black to White/White to Black
7. Horizontally Scaled Black to Red/Cyan to White
8. Horizontally Scaled Black to Green/Magenta to White
9. Horizontally Scaled Black to Blue/Yellow to White
10. Vertically Scaled Black to White/White to Black
11. Vertically Scaled Black to Red/Cyan to White
12. Vertically Scaled Black to Green/Magenta to White
13. Vertically Scaled Black to Blue/Yellow to White
14. Custom Color (or its inversion) configured in PGRS
15. Black-White/White-Black Checkerboard (or custom checkerboard color, configured in PGCTL)
16. YCBR/RBCY VCOM pattern, orientation is configurable from PGCTL
17. Color Bars (White, Yellow, Cyan, Green, Magenta, Red, Blue, Black) – Note: not included in the auto-
scrolling feature
Additionally, the Pattern Generator incorporates one user-configurable full-screen 24-bit color, which is controlled
by the PGRS, PGGS, and PGBS registers. This is pattern #14. One of the pattern options is statically selected in
the PGCTL register when Auto-Scrolling is disabled. The PGTSC and PGTSO1-8 registers control the pattern
selection and order when Auto-Scrolling is enabled.
8.3.20.2 Color Modes
By default, the Pattern Generator operates in 24-bit color mode, where all bits of the Red, Green, and Blue
outputs are enabled. 18-bit color mode can be activated from the configuration registers (Table 10). In 18-bit
mode, the 6 most significant bits (bits 7-2) of the Red, Green, and Blue outputs are enabled; the 2 least
significant bits will be 0.
8.3.20.3 Video Timing Modes
The Pattern Generator has two video timing modes – external and internal. In external timing mode, the Pattern
Generator detects the video frame timing present on the DE and VS inputs. If Vertical Sync signaling is not
present on VS, the Pattern Generator determines Vertical Blank by detecting when the number of inactive pixel
clocks (DE = 0) exceeds twice the detected active line length. In internal timing mode, the Pattern Generator
uses custom video timing as configured in the control registers. The internal timing generation may also be
driven by an external clock. By default, external timing mode is enabled. Internal timing or Internal timing with
External Clock are enabled by the control registers (Table 10).
