1 Overview
The gm2121 is a graphics processing IC for Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitors at SXGA resolution.
It provides all key IC functions required for the highest quality LCD monitors. On-chip functions include
a high-speed triple-ADC and PLL, a high quality zoom and shrink scaling engine, an on-screen display
(OSD) controller, digital color controls, an on-chip micro-controller (OCM) and industry standard dual
four channel LVDS transmitter for direct connect to LCD panels with LVDS interface. With this level of
integration, the gm2121 devices simplify and reduce the cost of LCD monitors while maintaining a highdegree of flexibility and quality.
1.1 gm2121 System Design Example

4.1 Clock Generation
The gm2121 features two clock inputs. All additional clocks are internal clocks derived from one or more
of these:
1. Crystal Input Clock (TCLK and XTAL). This is the input pair to an internal crystal oscillator and
corresponding logic. A 20.0 MHz crystal is recommended. Other crystal frequencies may be used, but
require custom programming. This is illustrated in Figure 4 below. Alternatively, a single-ended
TTL/CMOS clock oscillator can be driven into the TCLK pin (leave XTAL as N/C in this case). This
is illustrated in Figure 7 below. This option is selected by connecting a 10KΩ pull-up to
ROM_ADDR13 (refer to Table 17). See also Table 12.
2. Host Interface Transfer Clock (HCLK)
The gm2121 TCLK oscillator circuitry is a custom designed circuit to support the use of an external
oscillator or a crystal resonator to generate a reference frequency source for the gm2121 device.

gm2121 Preliminary Data Sheet
4.1.1 Using the Internal Oscillator with External Crystal
The first option for providing a clock reference is to use the internal oscillator with an external crystal.
The oscillator circuit is designed to provide a very low jitter and very low harmonic clock to the internal
circuitry of the gm2121. An Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is used to insure startup and operation over a
wide range of conditions. The oscillator circuit also minimizes the overdrive of the crystal, which reduces
the aging of the crystal.
When the gm2121 is in reset, the state of the ROM_ADDR13 pin is sampled. If the pin is left
unconnected (internal pull-down) then internal oscillator is enabled. In this mode a crystal resonator is
connected between TCLK and the XTAL with the appropriately sized loading capacitors C
size of C
and CL2 are determined from the crystal manufacturer’s specification and by compensating for
L1
and CL2. The

the parasitic capacitance of the gm2121 device and the printed circuit board traces. The loading capacitors
are terminated to the analog VDD power supply. This connection increases the power supply rejection
ratio when compared to terminating the loading capacitors to ground.

Figure 4. Using the Internal Oscillator with External Crystal
The TCLK oscillator uses a Pierce Oscillator circuit. The output of the oscillator circuit, measured at the
TCLK pin, is an approximate sine wave with a bias of about 2 volts above ground (see Figure 5). The
peak-to-peak voltage of the output can range from 250 mV to 1000 mV depending on the specific
characteristics of the crystal and variation in the oscillator characteristics. The output of the oscillator is
connected to a comparator that converts the sine wave to a square wave. The comparator requires a

Some attention must be given to the details of the oscillator circuit when used with a crystal resonator.
The PCB traces should be as short as possible. The value of C
that is specified by the manufacturer
load
should not be exceeded because of potential start up problems with the oscillator. Additionally, the crystal
should be a parallel resonate-cut and the value of the equivalent series resistance must be less then 90
Ohms.
4.1.2 Using an External Clock Oscillator
Another option for providing the reference clock is to use a single-ended external clock oscillator. When
the gm2121 is in reset, the state of the ROM_ADDR13 is sampled. If ROM_ADDR13 is pulled high by
connecting to VDD through a pull-up resistor (10KΩ recommended, 15KΩ maximum) then external
oscillator mode is enabled. In this mode the internal oscillator circuit is disabled and the external
oscillator signal that is connected to the TCLK pin is routed to an internal clock buffer. This is illustrated
in Figure 7.

4.1.3 Clock Synthesis
The gm2121 synthesizes all additional clocks internally as illustrated in Figure 8 below. The synthesized
clocks are as follows:
1. Main Timing Clock (TCLK) is the output of the chip internal crystal oscillator. TCLK is derived from
the TCLK/XTAL pad input.
2. Reference Clock (RCLK) synthesized by RCLK PLL (RPLL) using TCLK as the reference.
3. Input Source Clock (SCLK) synthesized by Source DDS (SDDS) PLL using input HSYNC as the
reference. The SDDS internal digital logic is driven by RCLK.
4. Display Clock (DCLK) synthesized by Destination DDS (DDDS) PLL using IP_CLK as the
reference. The DDDS internal digital logic is driven by RCLK.
5. Half Reference Clock (RCLK/2) is the RCLK (see 2, above) divided by 2. Used as OCM_CLK
domain driver.

4.2 Chip Initialization
4.2.1 Hardware Reset
Hardware Reset is performed by holding the RESETn pin low for a minimum of 1µs. A TCLK input (see
Clock Options above) must be applied during and after the reset. When the reset period is complete and
RESETn is de-asserted, the power-up sequence is as follows:
1. Reset all registers of all types to their default state (this is 00h unless otherwise specified in the
gm2121 Register Listing).
2. Force each clock domain into reset. Reset will remain asserted for 64 local clock domain cycles
following the de-assertion of RESETn.
3. Operate the OCM_CLK domain at the TCLK frequency.
4. Preset the RCLK PLL to output ~200MHz clock (assumes 20.0MHz TCLK crystal frequency).
5. Wait for RCLK PLL to Lock. Then, switch the OCM_CLK domain to operate from the bootstrap
selected clock.
6. If a pull-up resistor is installed on ROM_ADDR9 pin (see Table 17), then the OCM becomes active
as soon as OCM_CLK is stable. Otherwise, the OCM remains in reset until OCM_CONTROL
register (0x22) bit 1 is enabled.

4.2.2 Correct Power Sequencing
The system designer must ensure that the 2.5V CVDD and 3.3V RVDD power supply rails power up in
the correct sequence. That is, at any time during the power-up sequence the actual voltage of the 3.3V
RVDD power supply should always be equal to or higher than the actual voltage of the 2.5V CVDD
power supply. In mathematical terms, V
RVDD
>= V
at all times. This is illustrated in Figure 10.
CVDD
In addition, the system designer must ensure that the 2.5V core VDD supply must be active for at least
1ms before the rising edge of the chip RESETn signal during the chip power-up sequence. The rising
edge of RESETn signal is used to latch the bootstrap configurations, so its correct timing relationship to
the core VDD is critical for correct chip operation.

Note that input formats with resolutions or refresh rates higher than that supported by the LCD panel are
supported as recovery modes only. This is called RealRecovery™. For example, it may be necessary to
shrink the image. This may introduce image artifacts. However, the image is clear enough to allow the
user to change the display properties.
The gm2121 ADC has a built in clamp circuit for AC-coupled inputs. By inserting series capacitors
(about 10 nF), the DC offset of an external video source can be removed. The clamp pulse position and
width are programmable.
4.3.3 Clock Recovery Circuit
The SDDS (Source Direct Digital Synthesis) clock recovery circuit generates the clock used to sample
analog RGB data (IP_CLK or source clock). This circuit is locked to HSYNC of the incoming video
signal.
Patented digital clock synthesis technology makes the gm2121 clock circuits resistant to
temperature/voltage drift. Using DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) technology, the clock recovery circuit
can generate any IP_CLK clock frequency within the range of 10MHz to 165MHz.

4.3.4 Sampling Phase Adjustment
The programmable ADC sampling phase is adjusted by delaying the HSYNC input to the SDDS. The
accuracy of the sampling phase is checked and the result read from a register. This feature enables
accurate auto-adjustment of the ADC sampling phase.
4.3.5 ADC Capture Window
Figure 13 below illustrates the capture window used for the ADC input. In the horizontal direction the
capture window is defined in IP_CLKs (equivalent to a pixel count). In the vertical direction it is defined
in lines.
All the parameters beginning with “Source” are programmed gm2121 registers values. Note that the input
vertical total is solely determined by the input and is not a programmable parameter.

The Reference Point marks the leading edge of the first internal HSYNC following the leading edge of an
internal VSYNC. Both the internal HSYNC and the internal VSYNC are derived from external HSYNC
and VSYNC inputs.
Horizontal parameters are defined in terms of single pixel increments relative to the internal horizontal
sync. Vertical parameters are defined in terms of single line increments relative to the internal vertical
sync.
For ADC interlaced inputs, the gm2121 may be programmed to automatically determine the field type
(even or odd) from the VSYNC/HSYNC relative timing. See Input Format Measurement, Section 4.4.

gm2121 Preliminary Data Sheet
4.4 Test Pattern Generator (TPG)
The gm2121 contains hundreds of test patterns, some of which are shown in Figure 14. Once
programmed, the gm2121 test pattern generator can replace a video source (e.g. a PC) during factory
calibration and test. This simplifies the test procedure and eliminates the possibility of image noise being
injected into the system from the source. The foreground and background colors are programmable. In
addition, the gm2121 OSD controller can be used to produce other patterns.
Figure 14. Some of gm2121 built-in test patterns
The DDC2Bi port can be used for factory testing. The factory test station connects to the gm2121 through
the Direct Data Channel (DDC) of the DSUB15 connector. Then, the PC can make gm2121 display test
patterns (see section 4.4). A camera can be used to automate the calibration of the LCD panel.

4.5 Input Format Measurement
The gm2121 has an Input Format Measurement block (the IFM) providing the capability of measuring the
horizontal and vertical timing parameters of the input video source. This information may be used to
determine the video format and to detect a change in the input format. It is also capable of detecting the
field type of interlaced formats.
The IFM features a programmable reset, separate from the regular gm2121 soft reset. This reset disables
the IFM, reducing power consumption. The IFM is capable of operating while gm2121 is running in
power down mode.
Horizontal measurements are measured in terms of the selected IFM_CLK (either TCLK or RCLK/4),
while vertical measurements are measured in terms of HSYNC pulses.
C2121-DAT-01F 26 December 2002
http://www.genesis-microchip.com
Page 27
gm2121 Preliminary Data Sheet
For an overview of the internally synthesized clocks, see section 4.1.
4.5.1 HSYNC / VSYNC Delay
The active input region captured by the gm2121 is specified with respect to internal HSYNC and
VSYNC. By default, internal syncs are equivalent to the HSYNC and VSYNC at the input pins and thus
force the captured region to be bounded by external HSYNC and VSYNC timing. However, the gm2121
provides an internal HSYNC and VSYNC delay feature that removes this limitation. This feature is
available for use with the ADC input. By delaying the sync internally, the gm2121 can capture data that
spans across the sync pulse.
It is possible to use HSNYC and VSYNC delay for image positioning. (Alternatively, Source_HSTART
and Source_VSTART in Figure 13 are used for image positioning of analog input.) Taken to an extreme,
the intentional movement of images across apparent HSYNC and VSYNC boundaries creates a horizontal
and/or vertical wrap effect.
HSYNC is delayed by a programmed number of selected input clocks.

Figure 16. HSYNC Delay
Delayed horizontal sync may be used to solve a potential problem with VSYNC jitter with respect to
HSYNC. VSYNC and HSYNC are generally driven active coincidentally, but with different paths to the
gm2121 (HSYNC is often regenerated from a PLL). As a result, VSYNC may be seen earlier or later.
Because VSYNC is used to reset the line counter and HSYNC is used to increment it, any difference in
the relative position of HSYNC and VSYNC is seen on-screen as vertical jitter. By delaying the HSYNC
a small amount, it can be ensured that VSYNC always resets the line counter prior to it being incremented
by the “first” HSYNC.

gm2121 Preliminary Data Sheet
4.5.2 Horizontal and Vertical Measurement
The IFM is able to measure the horizontal period and active high pulse width of the HSYNC signal, in
terms of the selected clock period (either TCLK or RCLK/4.). Horizontal measurements are performed on
only a single line per frame (or field). The line used is programmable. It is able to measure the vertical
period and VSYNC pulse width in terms of rising edges of HSYNC.
Once enabled, measurement begins on the rising VSYNC and is completed on the following rising
VSYNC. Measurements are made on every field / frame until disabled.
4.5.3 Format Change Detection
The IFM is able to detect changes in the input format relative to the last measurement and then alert both
the system and the on-chip microcontroller. The microcontroller sets a measurement difference threshold
separately for horizontal and vertical timing. If the current field / frame timing is different from the
previously captured measurement by an amount exceeding this threshold, a status bit is set. An interrupt
can also be programmed to occur.
4.5.4 Watchdog
The watchdog monitors input VSYNC / HSYNC. When any HSYNC period exceeds the programmed
timing threshold (in terms of the selected IFM_CLK), a register bit is set. When any VSYNC period
exceeds the programmed timing threshold (in terms of HSYNC pulses), a second register bit is set. An
interrupt can also be programmed to occur.
4.5.5 Internal Odd/Even Field Detection (For Interlaced Inputs to ADC Only)
The IFM has the ability to perform field decoding of interlaced inputs to the ADC. The user specifies start
and end values to outline a “window” relative to HSYNC. If the VSYNC leading edge occurs within this
window, the IFM signals the start of an ODD field. If the VSYNC leading edge occurs outside this
window, an EVEN field is indicated (the interpretation of odd and even can be reversed). The window
start and end points are selected from a predefined set of values.

4.5.6 Input Pixel Measurement
The gm2121 provides a number of pixel measurement functions intended to assist in configuring system
parameters such as pixel clock, SDDS sample clocks per line and phase setting, centering the image, or
adjusting the contrast and brightness.
4.5.7 Image Phase Measurement
This function measures the sampling phase quality over a selected active window region. This feature
may be used when programming the source DDS to select the proper phase setting. Please refer to the
gm2121 Programming Guide for the optimized algorithm.
4.5.8 Image Boundary Detection
The gm2121 performs measurements to determine the image boundary. This information is used when
programming the Active Window and centering the image.
4.5.9 Image Auto Balance
The gm2121 performs measurements on the input data that is used to adjust brightness and contrast.
4.6 RealColorTM Digital Color Controls
The gm2121 provides high-quality digital color controls. These consist of a subtractive "black level"
stage, followed by a full 3x3 RGB matrix multiplication stage, followed by a signed offset stage as shown
in Figure 19.
Red In
Green In
This structure can accommodate all RGB color controls such as black-level (subtractive stage), contrast
(multiplicative stage), and brightness (signed additive offset). In addition, it supports all YUV color
controls including brightness (additive factor applied to Y), contrast (multiplicative factor applied to Y),
hue (rotation of U and V through an angle) and saturation (multiplicative factor applied to both Y and V).

4.6.1 RealColor™ Flesh tone Adjustment
The human eye is more sensitive to variations of flesh tones than other colors; for example, the user may
not care if the color of grass is modified slightly during image capture and/or display. However, if skin
tones are modified by even a small amount, it is unacceptable. The gm2121 features flesh tone
adjustment capabilities. This feature is not based on lookup tables, but rather a manipulation of
YUV-channel parameters. Flesh tone adjustment is available for all inputs.
4.6.2 Color Standardization and sRGB Support
Internet shoppers may be very picky about what color they experience on the display. gm2121
RealColor
TM
digital color controls can be used to make the color response of an LCD monitor compliant
with standard color definitions, such as sRGB. sRGB is a standard for color exchange proposed by
Microsoft and HP (see www.srgb.com)
. gm2121 RealColor controls can be used to make LCD monitors
sRGB compliant, even if the native response of the LCD panel itself is not.
4.7 High-Quality Scaling
The gm2121 zoom scaler uses an adaptive scaling technique proprietary to Genesis Microchip Inc., and
provides high quality scaling of real time video and graphics images. An input field/frame is scalable in
both the vertical and horizontal dimensions.
Interlaced fields may be spatially de-interlaced by vertically scaling and repositioning the input fields to
align with the output display’s pixel map.
4.7.1 Variable Zoom Scaling
The gm2121 scaling filter can combine its advanced scaling with a pixel-replication type scaling function.
This is useful for improving the sharpness and definition of graphics when scaling at high zoom factors
(such as VGA to SXGA).
4.7.2 Horizontal and Vertical Shrink
The gm2121 provides an arbitrary horizontal and vertical shrink down to (50% + 1 pixel/line) of the
original image size. This allows the gm2121 to capture and display images one VESA standard format
larger than the native display resolution. For example, UXGA may be captured and displayed on an
SXGA panel.
4.8 Bypass Options
The gm2121 has the capability to completely bypass internal processing. In this case, captured input
signals and data are passed, with a small register latency, straight through to the display output.
The gm2121 is also able to bypass the zoom filter.

gm2121 Preliminary Data Sheet
4.9 Gamma LUT
The gm2121 provides an 8 to 10-bit look-up table (LUT) for each input color channel intended for
Gamma correction and to compensate for a non-linear response of the LCD panel. A 10-bit output results
in an improved color depth control. The 10-bit output is then dithered down to 8 bits (or 6 bits) per
channel at the display (see section 4.10.3 below). The LUT is user programmable to provide an arbitrary
transfer function. Gamma correction occurs after the zoom / shrink scaling block.
The LUT has bypass enable. If bypassed, the LUT does not require programming.
4.10 Display Output Interface
The Display Output Port provides data and control signals that permit the gm2121 to connect to a variety
of flat panel or CRT devices. The output interface is configurable for 18 or 24-bit RGB pixels, either
single or double pixel wide. All display data and timing signals are synchronous with the DCLK output
clock.
4.10.1 Display Synchronization
Refer to section 4.1 for information regarding internal clock synthesis.
The gm2121 supports the following display synchronization modes:
Frame Sync Mode: The display frame rate is synchronized to the input frame or field rate.
This mode is used for standard operation.
Free Run Mode: No synchronization. This mode is used when there is no valid input timing
(i.e. to display OSD messages or a splash screen) or for testing purposes. In free-run mode,
the display timing is determined only by the values programmed into the display window and
timing registers.
4.10.2 Programming the Display Timing
Display timing signals provide timing information so the Display Port can be connected to an external
display device. Based on values programmed in registers, the Display Output Port produces the
horizontal sync (DHS), vertical sync (DVS), and data enable (DEN) control signals, which are then
encoded into the LVDS data stream by the on-chip LVDS transmitter. The figure below provides the
registers that define the output display timing.
Horizontal values are programmed in single pixel increments relative to the leading edge of the horizontal
sync signal. Vertical values are programmed in line increments relative to the leading edge of the vertical
sync signal.

4.10.3 Panel Power Sequencing (PPWR, PBIAS)
gm2121 has two dedicated outputs PPWR and PBIAS to control LCD power sequencing once data and
control signals are stable. The timing of these signals is fully programmable.
The Gamma LUT outputs a 10-bit value for each color channel. This value is dithered down to either 8bits for 24-bit per pixel panels, or 6-bits for 18-bit per pixel panels.
The benefit of dithering is that the eye tends to average neighboring pixels and a smooth image free of
contours is perceived. Dithering works by spreading the quantization error over neighboring pixels both
spatially and temporally. Two dithering algorithms are available: random or ordered dithering. Ordered
dithering is recommended when driving a 6-bit panel.
All gray scales are available on the panel output whether using 8-bit panel (dithering from 10 to 8 bits per
pixel) or using 6-bit panel (dithering from 10 down to 6 bits per pixel).

4.11 Dual Four Channel LVDS Transmitter
The gm2121 implements the industry standard flexible four channel dual LVDS transmitter. The LVDS
transmitter can support the following:
• Single or double pixel mode
• 24/48-bit panel mapping to the LVDS channels (see Table 14)
• 18/36-bit panel mapping to the LVDS channels (see Table 15)
• Programmable even/odd LVDS swapping
• Programmable channel swapping (the clocks are fixed)
• Programmable channel polarity swapping
• Support up to SXGA 75Hz output
Table 14. Supported LVDS 24-bit Panel Data Mapping
High spikes in the EMI power spectrum may cause LCD monitor products to violate emissions standards.
The gm2121 has many features that can be used to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). These
include drive strength control, dual-edge clocking and clock spectrum modulation. These features help to
eliminate the costs associated with EMI reducing components and shielding.
4.13 OSD
The gm2121 has a fully programmable, high-quality OSD controller. The graphics are divided into “cells”
12 by 18 pixels in size. The cells are stored in an on-chip static RAM (4096 words by 24 bits) and can be
C2121-DAT-01F 34 December 2002
http://www.genesis-microchip.com
Page 35
gm2121 Preliminary Data Sheet
stored as 1-bit per pixel data, 2-bit per pixel data or 4-bit per pixel data. This permits a good compression
ratio while allowing more than 16 colors in the image.
Some general features of the gm2121 OSD controller include:
OSD Position – The OSD menu can be positioned anywhere on the display region. The reference point is
Horizontal and Vertical Display Background Start (DH_BKGND_START and DV_BKGND_START in
Figure 20).
OSD Stretch – The OSD image can be stretched horizontally and/or vertically by a factor of two, three,
or four. Pixel and line replication is used to stretch the image.
OSD Blending – Sixteen levels of blending are supported for the character-mapped and bitmapped
images. One host register controls the blend levels for pixels with LUT values of 128 and greater,
while another host register controls the blend levels for pixels with LUT values of 127 and lower.
OSD color LUT value 0 is reserved for transparency and is unaffected by the blend attribute.
4.13.1 On-Chip OSD SRAM
Address26:
Cell attributes for

The on-chip static RAM (4096 words by 24 bits) stores the cell map and the cell definitions.
In memory, the cell map is organized as an array of words, each defining the attributes of one visible
character on the screen starting from upper left of the visible character array. These attributes specify
which character to display, whether it is stored as 1, 2 or 4 bits per pixel, the foreground and background
colors, blinking, etc.
Registers CELLMAP_XSZ and CELLMAP_YSZ are used to define the visible area of the OSD image.
For example, Figure 24 shows a cell map for which CELLMAP_XSZ =25 and CELLMAP_YSZ =10.

Figure 24. OSD Cell Map
Cell definitions are stored as bit map data. On-chip registers point to the start of 1-bit per pixel
definitions, 2-bit per pixel definitions and 4-bit per pixel definitions respectively. 1, 2 and 4-bit per pixel
cell definitions require 9, 18 and 36 words of the OSD RAM respectively.
C2121-DAT-01F 35 December 2002
http://www.genesis-microchip.com
Page 36
gm2121 Preliminary Data Sheet
Note that the cell map and the cell definitions share the same on-chip RAM. Thus, the size of the cell map
can be traded off against the number of different cell definitions. In particular, the size of the OSD image
and the number of cell definitions must fit in OSD SRAM. That is, the following inequality must be
satisfied. (Note, the ROUND operation rounds 3.5 to 4).
(CELLMAP_XSZ+1) * CELLMAP_YSZ +
18 * ROUND(Number of 1-bit per pixel fonts / 2) +
18 * (Number of 2-bit per pixel fonts) +
36 * (Number of 4-bit per pixel fonts) <= 4096
For example, an OSD menu 360 pixels wide by 360 pixels high is 30 cells in width and 20 cells in height.
Many of these cells would be the same (e.g. empty). In this case, the menu could contain more than 32 1bit per pixel cells, 100 2-bit per pixel cells, and 16 4-bit per pixel cells. Of course, different numbers of
each type can also be used.
4.13.2 Color Look-up Table (LUT)
Each pixel of a displayed cell is resolved to an 8-bit color code. This selected color code is then
transformed to a 24-bit value using a 256 x 24-bit look up table. This LUT is stored in an on-chip RAM
that is separate from the OSD RAM. Color index value 0x00 is reserved for transparent OSD pixels.
4.14 On-Chip Microcontroller (OCM)
The gm2121 on-chip microcontroller (OCM) serves as the system microcontroller. It programs the
gm2121 and manages other devices in the system such as the keypad, the back light and non-volatile
RAM (NVRAM) using general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins.
The OCM can operate in two configurations, Standalone configuration and Full-Custom configuration, as
illustrated in Figure 25.

Figure 25. OCM Full-Custom and Standalone Configurations
4.14.1 Standalone Configuration
Standalone configuration offers the most simple and inexpensive system solution for generic LCD
monitors. In this configuration the OCM executes firmware stored internally in gm2121. The baud rate
for serial communication (in standalone configuration) is determined by two bootstrap resistors on
ROMADDR11 (TCLK_SEL1, pin 145) and ROMADDR10 (TCLK_SEL0, pin 146). The on-chip
firmware provides all the standard functions required in a high-quality generic LCD monitor. This
includes mode-detection, auto-configuration and a high-quality standard OSD menu system. No external
ROM is required (which reduces BOM cost) and no firmware development effort is required (which
reduces time-to-market).
In Standalone configuration many customization parameters are stored in NVRAM. These include the
LCD panel timing parameters, the color scheme and logos used in the OSD menus, the functions provided
by the OSD menus, and arbitrary firmware modifications. These customization parameters are described
in the Standalone User’s Guide (B0108-SUG-01). Based on the customization parameters, G-Wizard (a
GUI-based development tool used to program Genesis devices) produces the hex image file for NVRAM.
G-Probe is then used to download the NVRAM image file into the NVRAM device. This is illustrated in
Figure 26 below.

Figure 26. Programming OCM in Standalone Configuration
4.14.2 Full-Custom Configuration
In full-custom configuration the OCM executes a firmware program running from external ROM. A
parallel port with separate address and data busses is available for this purpose. This port connects
directly to standard, commercially available ROM or programmable Flash ROM devices. Normally 64KB
or 128KB of ROM is required.
Both instructions and data are fetched from external ROM on a cycle-by-cycle basis. The external ROM
access speed on the parallel port is determined by the gm2121 internal OCM_CLK, which is derived from
the TCLK. As a result, the external ROM device’s access speed requirements are directly related to the
TCLK frequency. For the detailed timing requirements see section 5.3 “External ROM Interface Timing
Requirements”).
To program gm2121 in full-custom configuration the content of the external ROM is generated using
Genesis software development tools G-Wizard and OSD-Workbench. This is illustrated in Figure 27. GWizard is a GUI-based tool for capturing system information such as panel timing, support modes, system
configuration, etc. OSD-Workbench is a GUI based tool for defining OSD menus and functionality.

Genesis recommends using Keil compiler (http://www.keil.com/) to compile the firmware source code
into a hex file. This hex file is then downloaded into the external ROM using commercially available
ROM programmers.
For development purposes it may be useful to use a ROM emulator. For example, a PROMJET ROM
emulator can be used (http://www.emutec.com/pjetmain.html)
4.14.3 In-System-Programming (ISP) of FLASH ROM Devices
Gm2121 has hardware to program FLASH ROM devices. In particular, the GPIO11/ROM_WEn pin can
be connected to the write enable of the FLASH ROM. Firmware is then used to perform the writes using
the gm2121host registers.
4.14.4 UART Interface
.
The gm2121 OCM has an integrated Universal Asynchronous Remote Terminal (UART) port that can be
used as a factory debug port. In particular, the UART can be used to 1) read / write chip registers, 2) read
/ write to NVRAM, and 3) read / write to FLASH ROM.
C2121-DAT-01F 39 December 2002
http://www.genesis-microchip.com
Page 40
gm2121 Preliminary Data Sheet
The UART is connected to pins GPIO4/UART_DI and GPIO5/UART_DO. gm2121 has serial-toparallel conversion hardware which is accessed by firmware.
Note: Install 10KΩ pull-ups on UART according to Table 3.
4.14.5 DDC2Bi Interface
The gm2121 also features hardware support for DDC2Bi communication over the DDC channel of the
analog input ports. The specification for the DDC2Bi standard can be obtained from VESA
(www.vesa.org)
. The DDC2Bi port can be used as a factory debug port or for field programming. In
particular, the DDC2Bi port can be used to 1) read / write chip registers (see section 4.15 below), 2) read /
write to NVRAM (see section 4.13.1 above), and 3) read / write to FLASH ROM (see section 4.13.3
above).
For DDC2Bi communication over the analog VGA connector pins GPIO22/HCLK and GPIO16/HFSn
should be connected to the DDC clock and data pins of the analog DSUB15 VGA connector. gm2121
contains serial to parallel conversion hardware, that is then accessed by firmware for interpretation and
execution of the DDC2Bi command set. Bootstrap option ROM_ADDR12 (pin 142) is used to select the
pin pair to be used for DDC2Bi communication. This signal (named DDC_PORT_SEL) selects between
DDC2Bi interface or GPIO functions for pin pairs 8 (GPIO22/HCLK), 9 (GPIO16/HFSn) and 18
(GPIO15/DDC_SCL), 19 (GPIO14/DDC_SDA) for the internal standalone firmware. See the truth table
below for further details.

4.14.6 General Purpose Inputs and Outputs (GPIO’s)
The gm2121 has 23 general-purpose input/output (GPIO) and 8 general-purpose output (GPO) pins.
These are used by the OCM to communicate with other devices in the system such as keypad buttons,
NVRAM, LEDs, audio DAC, etc. Each GPIO has independent direction control, open drain enable, for
reading and writing. The GPO’s are shared with gm2121’s TEST_BUS. To activate these GPO’s set
TEST BUS_CONTROL (register 0x1E6) to 0x00 and TEST_BUS_EN (register 0x1E7 bit 2) to ‘1’, pins
88-97 can function as general-purpose outputs GPO0-7. Note that the GPIO pins have alternate
functionality as described in Table 16 below.

4.15 Bootstrap Configuration Pins
During hardware reset, the external ROM address pins ROM_ADDR[15:0] are configured as inputs. On
the negating edge of RESETn, the value on these pins is latched and stored. This value is readable by the
on-chip microcontroller (or an external microcontroller via the host interface). Install a 10K pull-up
resistor to indicate a ‘1’, otherwise a ‘0’ is indicated because ROM_ADDR[15:0] have a 60KΩ internal
pull-down resistor.

4.16 Host Interface
gm2121 contains many internal registers that control its operation. These are described in the gm2121
Register Listing (C2121-DSL-01).
A serial host interface is provided to allow an external device to peek and poke registers in the gm2121.
This is done using a 2-wire serial protocol. Note that 2-wire host interface requires bootstrap settings as
described in Table 17.
An arbitration mechanism ensures that register accesses from the OCM and the 2-wire host interface port
are always serviced (time division multiplexing).
4.16.1 Host Interface Command Format
Transactions on the 2-wire host protocol occurs in integer multiples of bytes (i.e. 8 bits or two nibbles
respectively). These form an instruction byte, a device register address and/or one or more data bytes.
This is described in Table 18.
The first byte of each transfer indicates the type of operation to be performed by the gm2121. The table below
lists the instruction codes and the type of transfer operation. The content of bytes that follow the instruction byte
will vary depending on the instruction chosen. By utilizing these modes effectively, registers can be quickly
configured.
The two LSBs of the instruction code, denoted 'A9' and 'A8' in Table 18 below, are bits 9 and 8 of the
internal register address respectively. Thus, they should be set to ‘00’ to select a starting register address
of less than 256, ‘01’ to select an address in the range 256 to 511, and '10' to select an address in the range
512 to 767. These bits of the address increment in Address Increment transfers. The unused bits in the
instruction byte, denoted by 'x', should be set to ‘1’.

gm2121 Preliminary Data Sheet
The 2-wire protocol consists of a serial clock HCLK and bi-directional serial data line HFSn. The bus
master drives HCLK and either the master or slave can drive the HFSn line (open drain) depending on
whether a read or write operation is being performed. The gm2121 operates as a slave on the interface.
The 2-wire protocol requires each device be addressable by a 7-bit identification number. The gm2121 is
initialized on power-up to 2-wire mode by asserting bootstrap pins HOST_PROTOCOL=0 and the device
identification number on HOST_ADDR(6:0) on the rising edge of RESETn (see Table 17). This provides
flexibility in system configuration with multiple devices that can have the same address.
A 2-wire data transfer consists of a stream of serially transmitted bytes formatted as shown in the figure
below. A transfer is initiated (START) by a high-to-low transition on HFSn while HCLK is held high. A
transfer is terminated by a STOP (a low-to-high transition on HFSn while HCLK is held high) or by a
START (to begin another transfer). The HFSn signal must be stable when HCLK is high, it may only
change when HCLK is low (to avoid being misinterpreted as START or STOP).

Figure 28. 2-Wire Protocol Data Transfer
Each transaction on the HFSn is in integer multiples of 8 bits (i.e. bytes). The number of bytes that can be
transmitted per transfer is unrestricted. Each byte is transmitted with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
After the eight data bits, the master releases the HFSn line and the receiver asserts the HFSn line low to

acknowledge receipt of the data. The master device generates the HCLK pulse during the acknowledge
cycle. The addressed receiver is obliged to acknowledge each byte that has been received.
The Write Address Increment and the Write Address No Increment operations allow one or multiple
registers to be programmed with only sending one start address. In Write Address Increment, the address
pointer is automatically incremented after each byte has been sent and written. The transmission data
stream for this mode is illustrated in Figure 29 below. The highlighted sections of the waveform represent
moments when the transmitting device must release the HFSn line and wait for an acknowledgement from
the gm2121 (the slave receiver).

4.17.2 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Back Light Control
Many of today’s LCD back light inverters require both a PWM input and variable DC voltage to
minimize flickering (due to the interference between panel timing and inverter’s AC timing), and adjust
brightness. Most LCD monitor manufactures currently use a microcontroller to provide these control
signals. To minimize the burden on the external microcontroller, the gm2121 generates these signals
directly.
There are three pins available for controlling the LCD back light, PWM0 (GPIO0), PWM1 (GPIO1) and
PWM2 (GPIO2). The duty cycle of these signals is programmable. They may be connected to an external
RC integrator to generate a variable DC voltage for a LCD back light inverter. Panel HSYNC is used as
the clock for a counter generating this output signal.
