Display Controller - LCD / OLED Panels (AHB Bus)

The DB9000AHB TFT LCD Controller IP Core interfaces a microprocessor and frame buffer memory via the AMBA 2.0 AHB Bus to a TFT LCD panel. In an FPGA, ASIC, or ASSP device, the microprocessor is an ARM processor and frame buffer memory is either on-chip SRAM memory or larger off-chip SRAM or SDRAM.
