Figure 12-1. DCU block diagram
Figure 12-1 shows the DCU architecture. This comprises two distinct sections. The lower section shows
the functional blocks of the DCU that fetch the graphic and video content and drive the TFT LCD panel.
The upper section describes the user interface through which the user configures the graphical content of
the TFT LCD panel.
