Abstract

A raster scan video controller is provided with an update cache for selective updating of a display memory under control of an updating device. The display has a larger bit width than the updating device. The update cache is full-width connected to the display memory. Each display memory connection is paired to a corresponding connection to the updating device. The updating device has random-access facility to the update cache for accessing only a selective part thereof for receiving, transmitting and latching data with respect to the update cache. Corresponding functions are available with respect to the memory.
