Description
The PCA-6653 is based on the CHIPS VGA flat panel/CRT controller
and is fully IBM VGA compatible. This controller offers a large set of
extended functions and higher resolutions, and it supports simulta-
neous functioning. Since the PCA-6653 VGA adapter is fully compat-
ible, you do not require any special drivers to operate in standard
modes. The enclosed software drivers allow you to take advantage of
the extended features of the PCA-6653:
High performance in Microsoft Windows
Resolutions up to 1024x768 in graphics modes with 256 colors
640x480 resolution in graphics modes with 32K, 64K, and 16M
colors
132 column text mode
Warning! Be sure to turn off the power and unplug all compo-
nents before attempting to install or adjust the PCA-
6653.Make sure the jumpers are set correctly before
connecting the PCA-6653 to your flat panel display.
Incorrect jumper settings could damage your display.

Chapter 1 Introduction 5
Simultaneous Display Mode
The PCA-6653 supports simultaneous display to a CRT monitor and a
flat panel display. The flat panel may be TFT, mono, DSTN, or EL.
If you use a DSTN LCD in this mode, the display must be under 16/
256 colors or the CRT and flat panel screens will tremble. You must
add a frame buffer with 512K RAM and update the BIOS setup. Call
us for assistance.

VR1: VEE adjustment for LCD/EL
Step 1 - Short the JP4.
Step 2 - Adjust the voltage for each LCD VEE. Voltage
ranges from +12V to +40V
Note: The two jumper settings are 0 (open) and 1 (closed).
Warning! Turn off the system power, and disconnect the
cables prior to adjusting the voltage!
Adjusting theVR1 may damage the LCD/EL
display module.Call if you need assistance.

Power Management
To save power, you can disable the Chips 65545 by setting the JP1
jumper to 1 (closed). This clears the memory and interrupts input and
output. You can use the included software if you only want to stop
output. To disable the flat panel's backlight, set CN2-pin40 (EN-
ABKL) to 0 (open).

This chapter describes the installation and operation of the software
drivers on the included Display Driver diskette.
Simultaneous Display Mode
The 65545 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT
and STN LCD flat panel displays. It also supports interlaced and non-
interlaced analog monitors (VGA color and VGA monochrome) in
high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA
compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT
supported. Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are supported as
analog monitors.
Both CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The PCA-
6653 can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT, on a flat
panel display, or on both simultaneously. The system is initially set to
simultaneous display mode. In the utility diskette, there are three
.COM files which can be used to select the display. Simply type the
filename at the DOS prompt:
CT.COM Enables CRT display only
FP.COM Enables panel display only
SM.COM Enables both displays at the same time.
Sleep Mode
The Display Driver diskette contains two files that support sleep
mode. Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt:
ON.COM switches to normal display mode.
OFF.COM switches to sleep mode.
