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 tstates to the following instructions:

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.

=== Usage ===
  
The formula below calculates the amount of delay removed by setting bits 7-4 (the lower nibble of the port should always be 7). b7, b6, b5, b4 are either 0 or 1 and represent the value of their corresponding bit.

Bits 0&1 are unknown, but don't seem to directly remove the needed delay. On the 83+SE these are reset, on the 84+(SE) these are set.
  
Percentage of delay removed [0-1] = (b7/2) + (b6/4) + (b5/8) + (3/26)(b7)(b4) + (3/52)(b6)(b4) + (3/104)(b5)(b4).
+
Bits 2-7 control the amount of delay added at specified instructions. To calculate the tstates added divide the contents of port 29 by 4 and round off.  
  
Note however if port 29h is set to 27h, then the % of delay removed is actually (1/8) - (3/104).

Revision as of 22:39, 22 July 2005

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 Speed (6 MHz)

This port removes the amount of delay needed between accesses to the lcd driver by adding tstates to the following instructions:

  • out (010h),a
  • in a,(011h)
  • out (011h),a


Usage

Bits 0&1 are unknown, but don't seem to directly remove the needed delay. On the 83+SE these are reset, on the 84+(SE) these are set.

Bits 2-7 control the amount of delay added at specified instructions. To calculate the tstates added divide the contents of port 29 by 4 and round off.


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 seem to tie to port 2E, they affect the cpu speed reduction the port 2e contorls. Though their exact purpose is not known.
