This port controls the calculator's LCD speed when it is running at 6 MHz. It is complicated and the lower four bits have not been thoroughly investigated but should be 7h on the TI-83/84 Plus Silver Edition at all times.

This port removes the amount of delay needed between accesses to the LCD driver by adding a delay to any instruction which reads from or writes to ports [[83Plus:Ports:10|10]] or [[83Plus:Ports:11|11]], as well as the mirror ports 12 and 13.

Setting bits 4-7 on this port has the effect of shortening the required LCD delay. Bits 7-5 control the removed delay in powers of 2 (i.e. setting bit 7 removes 1/2 of the original delay, setting bit 6 removes 1/4, and bit 5 1/8). Bit 4 is related to bits 7-5 by a factor of 3/26. If the entire upper nibble of port 29h is zero, the LCD will not update.

This port only exists as a distinct port on the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, the TI-84 Plus, and the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. On the standard TI-83 Plus, it acts as a shadow of port 01.

Synopsis

Port Number: 29h

Function: LCD Delay (6 MHz)

This port removes the amount of delay needed between accesses to the LCD driver by adding a delay to any instruction which reads from or writes to ports 10 or 11, as well as the mirror ports 12 and 13.

Usage

  • Bit 0 enables the effects of the flash delay controlled by port 2E.
  • Bit 1 enables the effects of the ram delay controlled by port 2E.
  • Bits 2-7 control the amount of delay added at specified instructions. To calculate the number of clock cycles added, divide the contents of port 29 by 4 and round off. NOTE: The contents of this port should NOT be less than 0Ch or the LCD driver will no longer respond.

Comments

This port is not available on the normal TI-83+. On the normal TI-83+ this port is a shadow of Port 01h.

Bits 0&1 are reset on the 83+SE and set on the 84+(se).

The effect of this port is only seen if the contents of port 20h equals 00.

As noted above, a delay less than 3 cycles causes LCD outputs to fail. However, it seems that LCD inputs (from any port) will work with a delay of 1 or more. With a delay of 0, both inputs and outputs seem to fail. Is this all a hardware glitch? Who knows.
