This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard.
DDC is a signal standard for carrying out Plug & Play functions on the
monitor or PC. It transfers information such as degree of resolution
between the monitor and PC. You can use this function if your PC is
DDC compliant and if it is set so that it can detect the Plug & Play
monitor.
There are many varieties of DDC due to the differences between
systems. This monitor works with DDC1 and DDC2B.

COMPLIANT ARM
An arm based on the VESA standard can be attached to the monitor.
The arm must be purchased separately.
When choosing the arm to be installed please take note of t he following points.
• The arm should be compatible with the VESA standard, and there
must be a gap of 75mm x 75mm between the screw holes on the
section to be attached.
• The arm must not fall off or break off after being attached to the
monitor.
CAUTION
Be careful not to cut or jam your fingers.
Note: Do not bend the signal cable or the AC adapter cable nor
place weight on them. Doing so could lead to damage.
1. Turn off the power switch and remove the power plug from the
power source.
2. Remove the rear cover, stand cover and adapter cover.
To remove them follow steps 1, 2, and 3 of Connecting the monitorto a power source.
3. Remove the AC adapter from the stand.
4. Being careful not t o damage the monitor, spread out a soft cloth
and lay the monitor on it display-side down.

5. Remove the four screws and then remove the stand from the
monitor.
Information
The stand is specially made for use with this
monitor. Once having removed the stand, never
attempt to attach it to another device.
Once having removed the screws, store them
together with the stand and if the stand is ever
reattached be sure to use the original screws.
Using different screws could lead to malfunction.
6. Attach the rear cover.
To attach it follow step 8 of Connecting the monitor to a power
source.
7. Attach the arm to the monitor with four screws.
Information
The screws used to
attach the arm should be
M4 screws with a length
of 4 mm ~ 6 mm
protruding from the
surface to be attached.
Using different screws
could lead to malfunction
or may lead to the

2-1. CPU
The PW164 incorporates an 80186-compatible CPU.
The CPU incorporates 32-Kbyte RAM in addition to peripheral de-
vices.
The CPU directly controls the following memory and I/O: built-in RAM,
flash memory, built-in peripheral devices, scaler-contained 10 registers. The other devices are controlled from the general port through
2
the I
C bus.
The memory space of the CPU is equal to the capacity of the flash
memory.
Allocated on the memory space are flash memory, main memory,
PW164-incorporated I/Os, external chip select. You cannot access to
the area of flash memory with which these spaces overlap.
The clock speed of the CPU is 43.2 MHz (14.4 MHz in the power
save mode).
2-2. Peripheral device incorporated in the CPU
The PW164 incorporates general I/O ports (16 bits), timer (2 ch +
watchdog), interrupt controller, UART, and IR decoder.

The VPPEN signal is used to mask the WE signal of flash memory,
instead of controls the VPP of flash memory (VPP is always applied).
Therefore, when the VPPEN is at l ow level, data cannot be written to
flash memory and no command is issued.

The IR decoder of the PW164 has 2 lines of input.
This model does not use the IR decoder.
2-3. Scaler engine
On the PW164, the DCK is 108 MHz and MCK is 129.6 MHz.
[3] AD9884A
The AD9884A converts the analog RGB output from the PC to digital
48-bit data and outputs it to the PW164.
Data from the PC is compatible with a dot clock of up to 140 MHz.
The AD 9884A can receive up to 75 MHz (dot clock of 135 MHz) at
SXGA.
The AD9884A is controlled by the I
In the power save mode including the DPMS mode, the AD9884A is
put in the power-down mode by the XVPWDN signal (general port of

The AD9884A is connected to the PW164 with the dual channel
mode (48 bits).

[4] SiI151A
The SiI151A converts serial data outputted from the PC into digital
48-bit data and then outputs it to the PW164.
In the power save mode including the DPMS mode, the SiI151A is
put in the power-down mode by the TMDSON signal (general port of
the PW164).
There is no software-controlled item other than the power-down
mode.
[5] LH28F800BVE
For the program ROM, an 8-Mbit flash memory LH28F800BVE is
used. The LH28F800BVE consists of two 4K-word boot block, six
4K-word parameter block and 15 32K-word main block.
Put the VPPEN signal (PW164 general port) in High level before

E
PROM BR24C01A is used for digital DDC.
Analog supports DDC1/DDC2B, and digital supports DDC2B alone.
In the DDC1 mode, data can be read from the SDA (RGSA) by
inputting a clock to the VCLK (GVS1).
In the DDC1 mode after the power is turned on, data can be read in
the order of "last address", "0h address data", and "1h address data"
with addresses automatically incremented.
When the SCL (RGSL) is changed from H to L, the DDC1 mode is
changed to DDC2B mode after this clock.
To change the DDC2B mode to the DDC1 mode, turn the power off
and on again.
Digital supports DDC2B mode alone.

The HN58x2416 uses I
The slave addresses for the HN58x2416 are A0H - AFH and they
need to be changed according to memory addresses which data is
