%A Van Huan Tran %A Xuan Tu Tran %O ISBN: 978-1-61284-459-6 %T An Efficient Architecture Design for VGA Monitor Controller %X In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an efficient hardware architecture for VGA monitor controllers based on FPGA technology. The design is compatible with PLB bus and has a high potential to be used in Xilinx FPGA-based systems. The ability to provide multiple display resolutions (up to WXGA 1280x800) and a customizable internal FIFO make the proposed architecture suitable for several FPGA devices. Furthermore, we have also offered a useful software library to enable the text mode feature. These highlight features have been validated through the demonstration of an application. %P 3917-3921 %D 2011 %C Hubei, China %L SisLab50
