CRT color graphics are increasingly turning to bit-mapped raster-scan technology because of the decreasing costs of high-density RAM and high-speed VLSI building blocks needed for creating complex, flicker-free images. Particularly applicable to such a scanning system is the AM29116, a powerful 16-bit microprocessor that can be integrated with other AM2900 family devices into a microprogrammable graphics controller. Such a controller can draw vectors, characters, and filled polygons quickly while supporting high-bandwidth display update and motion dynamics interactively. In fact, the 29116 provides for rapid data movement and bit-level manipulation and contains other features essential to bit-mapped graphics applications.
