W99701G

OVERVIEW

The W9970CF Integrated Video Graphics Accelerator is a highly integrated product offered by Winbond to provide high-performance graphical user interface (GUI) acceleration and TV-quality full-screen motion video acceleration for PCI Bus-based IBM PCs or their compatibles. An on-chip RAMDAC and dual programmable clock synthesizers with up to 135 MHz pixel data rate are also integrated to simplify system design and reduce cost.
