Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the word length of a RAM for display by adding a character RAM, a ROM for display, and a RAM for switching. CONSTITUTION:This device is equipped with the display ROM 15 stored with specific characters and symbols in an array of characters and symbols to be displayed in specific addresses and the character RAM 13 stored with other characters and symbols, a microcomputer output 1 sets an address of the switching RAM 14 for switching the display RAM 12 or display RAM 12 and ROM 15 by a data writing circuit 6, and data are written on them respectively. When the data are read out, an output distributed by the switching RAM 14 drives the display ROM 15 or distributed by the display RAM 12 to drive a character ROM 13, and the output is then inputted to an output circuit 11 to obtain a display control output 3. Consequently, the word length of the display RAM 12 can be shortened.

Conventionally, this type of character display device, as shown in FIG.
The signal from the microcomputer output 1 enters the system control circuit 4,
The address of the display RAM 12 is designated by the write control circuit 6, and the data selected by the read/write switching circuit 10 is written into the display RAM 12 in the write mode. Also,
When the data is read out, the display control output 3 is output. This is because the oscillation circuit 5 generates a system clock synchronized with the horizontal and vertical synchronization signals 2, which enters the horizontal readout control circuit 7 and the vertical succession control circuit 8, and generates timing. The generated timing signal enters the circuit 9 and is sent to the horizontal readout control circuit 7.
and is supplied to the vertical readout control circuit 8 and the output circuit 11. The output from the horizontal read control circuit 7 and the output from the vertical read control circuit 8 are sent to the read/write control circuit lO.
