1.1 Features
Simple (Optimized System Configuration):
(1) Use of Unified Graphics Memory (UGM) Architecture
• Unified handling of image data (unified graphics memory (UGM) architecture)
Data in various formats can be stored and managed in the same unified graphics memory
(see figure 1.2).
• Minimum necessary UGM
Minimum UGM configuration: One 16-bit-data-bus type 16-Mbit synchronous DRAM
