• Dedicated graphics clock for a continuous, clean display
• On-chip display controller provides direct interface to TFT, STN and OLED displays
• Easy-to-use Graphics Processing Units for hardware acceleration:
  • Move and copy rectangles with smooth, fast memory transfers
  • Decompress images without CPU intervention
  • Render text without CPU intervention
• Color look-up QVGA 8 bpp with internal frame buffer:
• Supports QVGA 8 bpp with internal frame buffer
• Supports WQVGA 16 bpp with external frame buffer using PMP (Parallel Master Port)

With its hardware acceleration, this family is able to process and render graphics without using any MCU MIPS. The dedicated graphics engine is able to continuously drive a display without being shared with any other function.
