General Description
NT68275 is designed for displaying symbols and
characters onto a CRT monitor. Its operation is controlled
by a microcontroller with an IIC bus interface. By sending
proper data and commands to NT68275, it can carry out
the full screen display automatically with the time base
generated by an on-chip PLL circuit. There are many
functions provided by this chip to fully support user
applications, such as: adjustment of the position of OSD
The “ * “ sign denotes that feature different from NT6827.
n 7-Color Selection for Each Character Background
n Character/Symbol Blinking, Shadowing & Bordering
Display Effect
n Double Character Height and Width for Each Row
n Programmable Height of Character/Symbol Display
n Row To Row Spacing Control to Avoid Expansion
Distortion
n Four Programmable Windows with Overlapping
Capability and Shadowing Effect
n Color Setting for Windows’ Background and Character
Shadowing & Bordering
n Fade-In/Out Effect of OSD Screen Display
n Hsync & Vsync Input Polarity Selectable
windows, built-in 512* ROM & 16 multi-color fonts,
variable character height with row-to-row spacing
adjustment, 8 color selections & 7 background color
controls for each character, double height/width controls
for each row, 4 overlapping window available with color &
size controls, size controls for each window shadowing,
color selection for windows’ shadowing & character
shadowing/ bordering, fade-in/out display effect, etc.

Row 0-14
Column 0-29
*Page MSB LSB
Font’s Address $00 - $1FF
Bit 8: * Page - This bit will address the page 1 ROM font area by bit 7-0 of this control register. Otherwise, it
will address page 0. This can be set by the bit5 column data at IIC bus transmission. Refer to
Figure 8-1 & 8-3 for ROM font area.
Bit 7-0: These eight bits will address one of the 256 characters/ symbols residing in the character ROM fonts.
Note that if user sets MCFONT bit (row 15, column 22) to ‘1’, the 0 ~ 256 will address standard ROM
fonts, and if cleared to ‘0’, the 0 ~ 239 will address standard ROM fonts & 240 ~ 255, multi-color ROM
fonts.
