2.3 Multimedia, power and display features
The MSMVA104+ with its flexible display support, 2D and 3D acceleration and reduced power
consumption includes following features:
- Multiple display support with hydravision software (multiple desktop on one or more displays) like
- Inegrated LVDS interface (24-bit) up to resolution 2048x1536
- DVI compliant TMDS transmitter (165MHz) up to resolution of 1600x1200
- TV-Out (CVBS or S-Video) up to resolution of 1024x768

- Reduced power consumption with flexible operating frequency and voltage management.
- 66MHz core and memory frequency for 2D and switch to 180MHz core and 230MHz memory
frequency for 3D applications (POWERPLAY and POWER ON DEMAND technology)
2.4 Thermal and cooling considerations
Using MSMVA104+, one may consider using cooling (passive or active)
The following calculations may be performed to compute the maximal ambient temperature without any
implemented cooling solution.
2.4.1 Computing maximum operating ambient temperature
Introducing CA value (case-to-ambient thermal resistance) and considering the maximal allowed case
temperature (TCmax) of 105°C and the required power (P) for your application (examples are given in
tables from section 2.2), you can compute the maximal allowed ambient temperature TAmax.
TAmax = TCmax - P x CA
With CA values of 11.3 [°C/W] with no airflow on the chip. Other values of CA may be 10.9 [°C/W] and 9.7
[°C/W] with respective airflow of 1 [m/s] and 2 [m/s]
Example: 3D heavy applications with 4.5W power and no airflow gives an maximum ambient temperature
of approximately 54°C.
The junction temperature from the chip must not exceed 125°C and can be computed using a junction to
case thermal resistance of 3 [°C/W] as following:
TJmax = (3 + CA) x P +TA with TA the actual ambient temperature

6 DRIVER AND SOFTWARE
6.1 Windows
This chapter is intended to show both the functionalities of the ATI chip and the way to access them under
a windows operating system. Using MSM-P3/P5-SEN or Digital-Logic products with Intel BX/TX chipset,
make sure that the application board core BIOS is compatible to MSMVA104+. A test BIOS can be found
on the product CD (reference in Chapter 3)
6.1.1 Possible display by first boot
- With M7 SVGA.BIN to be found on ati product CD from Digital logic (to be found on
CD:\bios\ati_vga_bios), you may boot using a sole TV Display
- Possible display combinations while booting (using pre programmed BIOS) are listed
below
CRT1, DVI, CRT1 + TV OUT, DVI + TV OUT
- With BIOS M7 SVGA.bin, TV OUT is used and CRT2 can not be used (these two
features cannot be obtained at the same time). If you need to use CRT2 interface,
please ask Digital Logic for a matching BIOS.
- Under Windows, it is possible to use the three different displays (DVI + CRT1 + TV
OUT) but with only up to 2 different pictures (using dual display feature).
6.1.2 Driver installation
The first time that your new configuration will be started (both your CPU application board together with
MSMVA104+), you will be asked to install the correct driver for the ATI M7500 chip. Please choose the
driver from the MICROSPACE MSMVA104+ product CD. Driver installation can also be started by means
of setup.exe in ..\driver-utilities\ folder.
Using both LCD and VGA CRT, check if the LCD bios is available and download the latest bios from our
webpage: http://www.digitallogic.ch
6.1.3 Control panel under windows
Driver from ATI already contains control panel to adapt display configuration and operating system.
The following part of the manual is reproduced with agreement from ATI Technologies Inc. (part of
document Radeon 8500, Radeon 8500LE, Radeon 7500 User’s Guide, Version 5.0, P/N 137-40282-50
Rev. D, Copyright © 2002, ATI Technologies Inc. All rights reserved.)
Features presented in the following pages may not be supported in all operating systems and/or may
appear differently. Following features are not supported or may appear differently using Radeon Mobility
M7500:
- The Catalyst software suite does not support M7500 chip and is only thought to be used for desktop
products.
- Smoothvision feature is not implemented using M7500, but settings are available for anti-aliasing
support.
- The user interface shown by screenshots in the following sections may be different depending on the
used drivers
- Extended display feature for M7500 is not supported under Windows NT4.0

Dynamic Display Reassignment
You can change the assignment of your Primary and Secondary display on the fly, without rebooting.
However, before you can change the assignment of the Primary display, at least one Secondary display
must be enabled, and Extended Desktop mode must be enabled.
To enable a Secondary display, refer to the section Enabling/Disabling Secondary Displays.
To enable Extended Desktop Mode, refer to the section Enabling Extended Desktop Mode.
1 Access the Windows® Control Panel. Doubleclick Display.
2 Click on the Settings tab and then the Advanced... button.
3 Click on the ATI Displays tab.
The ATI Displays tab shows you the display(s) that are active. The Primary display has the button
depressed. To change the display assignment, you can click the Primary display’s button or you can
click the button of the other display device. In Windows® 2000 and Windows® NT4.0, clicking on the
button will reassign the Primary and Secondary monitors. Clicking on the button creates a clone or
mirror image of the Primary display onto the Secondary display. Clicking on the button extends your
desktop to a Secondary display located to the right of the Primary display. Clicking on the button
extends your desktop to a Secondary display located below the Primary display.

Virtually Repositioning Your Displays

the secondary display can be dragged to the left of the primary display, allowing it to be virtually on the left,
as shown below.

Ratiometric Expansion
Your RADEON card offers ratiometric expansion (or digital panel scaling as it is commonly known). This
expands a low resolution image to fill a higher resolution panel. However, ratiometric expansion is only
available on the Primary display. Therefore, if a flat panel display (FPD) is set as Secondary, the
Extended Desktop mode is disabled and the resolution is less than the FPD’s native resolution. This
causes the FPD to default to center mode.
