Abstract

See full text

A frame buffer dynamic random access memory (FBRAM) is disclosed that enables accelerated rendering of Z-buffered graphics primitives. The FBRAM converts read-modify-write transactions such as Z-buffer compare and RBG alpha blending into a write only operation. The FBRAM also implements two levels of internal pixel caches, and a four-way interleaved frame buffer.
