Amiga® Hardware Reference Manual: C Enhanced Chip Set
This appendix contains information on the Enhanced Chip Set (ECS). The
Enhanced Chip Set consists of the Agnus (8372-R3) and Denise (8373-R3)
custom Amiga chips. These chip revisions support advanced features in
addition to all of the standard features previously available.
The ECS is standard in the A3000. The enhanced Agnus and Denise chips are
plug-compatible replacements for the originals in the A500 or A2000. There
are no provisions for installing the ECS in the original A1000. The
A2000, when jumpered for one megabyte of chip memory, will function
normally with the ECS chips installed, under both V1.3 and V2.0 Amiga
System software.
The ECS chips are designed to function with either NTSC or PAL Amigas.
However, the chips from the US factory are configured for NTSC mode. In
order to use them on a PAL system, you may have to reset the motherboard
jumpers for proper performance.

C Enhanced Chip Set / New Features of the Enhanced Chip Set
The new features of the Enhanced Chip Set are as follows:
New Memory Limits New Monitor Scan Rates
New Blitter Range New Genlock Capabilities
New Mode Resolutions Built-in A2024 support
C / New Features of the Enhanced Chip Set / New Memory Limits
The A3000 has 1 MB of Chip memory, and with proper jumpering of the
motherboard, an additional 1 MB can be added. On the A2000, the enhanced
Agnus can access up to 1 megabyte of Chip memory with proper jumpering of
the motherboard. This provides programs with more blitter-accessible
memory for animation and graphics applications.
C / New Features of the Enhanced Chip Set / New Blitter Range
The enhanced Agnus provides rectangular blits up to 32k by 32k pixels in
size.
C / New Features of the Enhanced Chip Set / New Mode Resolutions
The enhanced Denise chip provides the new SuperHires mode with up to 1280
horizontal pixels per scanline on a standard NTSC or PAL display.
All of the standard display resolutions and depths of the original chip
set are supported with the ECS.
C / New Features of the Enhanced Chip Set / New Monitor Scan Rates
The V2.0 Kickstart and ECS chips support a new high resolution
Productivity mode. With the addition of a multi-sync monitor , this mode
allows 640 x 480, non-interlaced screens in up to four colors. All
programs which open and operate in the Workbench screen will automatically
benefit from Productivity text and graphics. In addition, new programs can
open their own Productivity screens in a system standard fashion.
C / New Features of the Enhanced Chip Set / New Genlock Capabilities
The enhanced Denise chip provides the following four new genlock
features:
* Chromakey
* BitPlaneKey
* BorderBlank
* BorderNotTransparent
ChromaKey allows any color register to control the video overlay.
BitPlaneKey allows any bitplane to enable the video overlay. BorderBlank
creates a transparent "frame" surrounding the active area.
BorderNotTransparent makes an opaque "frame" surrounding the active area.
C / New Features of the Enhanced Chip Set / Built-in A2024 Support
Version 2.0 Kickstart ROMS have built-in support for the A2024
scan-converter monitor which displays 1008 x 800 pixels (1008 x 1024 in
PAL mode) in four monochrome levels, non-interlaced. In conjunction with
1 megabyte of Chip memory, this allows very high resolution Workbench
screens, as well as support for "full page" text and CAD applications.
C Enhanced Chip Set / ECS Hardware and the Graphics Library
The Enhanced Chip Set consists of compatible revisions to the Agnus and
Denise custom chips. The V36 graphics.library software makes it possible
for these chips to display images in new resolutions, at new monitor scan
rates and with new sprite and genlock abilities.
With the enhanced Agnus, the V36 graphics.library supports the new
programmable scan rate registers to provide multi-sync and bi-sync monitor
capability. The new SuperHires mode provides 35ns pixel rates and sprite
positioning at 70ns rates. Support for big blits (up to 32k x 32k) is
provided for all graphics functions if the ECS Agnus is present.
With the enhanced Denise, the V36 graphics.library provides display window
start and stop with explicit control over larger ranges than was possible
before. There are new color register interpretations as part of the
SuperHires mode. Genlock control has been expanded for more flexibility.
Borders may be explicitly transparent or opaque, color registers other
than zero can control video overlay and a bitplane mask may be used for
special-purpose video masking concurrently with the other genlock features.
Warning:
--------
With these new features come certain new responsibilities when
using the graphics.library.

C / ECS Hardware and the Graphics Library / Determining Chip Revisions
The V36 graphics.library field GfxBase->ChipRevBits0 contains bit
definitions to tell you whether ECS is currently installed and activated.
These bits are derived from the new or changed registers in the ECS chips.
The bit GFXF_HR_AGNUS indicates that enhanced HiRes Agnus is installed.
This is derived from the Agnus VPOSR register. The VPOSR register is
defined as follows:
VPOSR - Read vertical most significant bits (and frame flop)
Bit 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00
Use LOF I6 I5 I4 I3 I2 I1 I0 LOL -- -- -- -- v10 v9 V8
I0-I6 (bits 8-14) provide the chip identification. At present there are
four possible settings. A value of 20 or 30 indicates that the enhanced
Hires Agnus is present.
8361 (regular NTSC) or 8370 (fat NTSC) = 10 for NTSC Agnus
8367 (regular PAL) or 8371 (fat PAL) = 00 for PAL Agnus
8368 (hr) or 8372 (fat-hr) = 20 for PAL, 30 for NTSC
Similarly, the graphics.library flag GFXF_HR_DENISE is derived from the
Denise register DENISEID. This is a new register which can have one of
two values. The original Denise (8362) does not have this register, so
whatever value is left over on the bus from the last cycle will be there.
The enhanced HighRes Denise (8373) will return $FC in the lower 8 bits.
The upper 8 bits are reserved.
C / ECS Hardware and the Graphics Library / SuperHires Mode
SuperHires mode provides a 35ns pixel display rate - twice the horizontal
resolution of Hires mode, and four times the Lores rates. The nominal
resolution of a SuperHires viewport is 1280 pixels. The maximum plane
depth for a SuperHires viewport is 2 bitplanes which saturates DMA
bandwidth as much as four Hires bitplanes. This mode is controlled by the
graphics.library by writing to the BPLCON0 register in the LOF copperlist
(/SHF if interlaced).

Warning:
--------
Programmers must not rely on interpreting ViewPort->Modes bits
directly when determining the mode of a ViewPort.
Beginning with the V36 graphics.library, the ViewPort->Modes field is
used for backward compatibility only.
Under V1.3 and earlier the ViewPort->Modes field mirrored some of the
BPLCON0 bits most notably Hires and Lace. However, other logical
defines in this field such as the Viewport->Modes PF2PRI bit conflict
with the SHRES bit assignment in the actual hardware.
For this reason, in release 2.0 of the operating system
(graphics.library V36 and later), programmers will need to use the
new DataBase/ModeID scheme to determine their ViewPort's mode, and to
specify a mode when creating, cloning, or copying ViewPorts.
C / ECS Graphics Library / SuperHires Mode and Denise Color Registers
SuperHires mode has a coarser granularity of color control than either
Hires or Lores modes. This is because the timing of color conversions at
these very high pixel rates requires special "tricks". There are only two
bits of red, green and blue color resolution per hires pixel.
In order to decode sprite and bitplane color information in SuperHires
mode, certain multiplexing occurs in the use of the registers. Instead of
4 bits of red, green, and blue for bitplane registers 0-3 stored as 0x0RGB
in four color registers, SuperHires bitplane colors are specially encoded
in the sixteen lower color registers:
R G B
---- ---- ----

About SuperHires color.
-----------------------
SuperHires color encryption is not reflected in the ColorTable.
The color encoding is, however, reflected in the ViewPort's
copper lists generated by graphics via MakeVPort(), SetRGB4(), etc.
Keep in mind that because of the loss of lower bits of precision in
specifying SuperHires colors, pastel colors in a closely graduated color
scheme may be visually difficult to distinguish from each other.
C / ECS Hardware Graphics Library / SuperHires 70ns Sprite Positioning
SuperHires mode has a finer granularity of sprite positioning than either
Hires or Lores modes. This allows for positioning the sprite every other
SuperHires pixel on 70ns boundaries. The ECS registers SPRxPOS and
SPRxCTL work together as position, size and sprite feature control
registers. They are usually loaded by the sprite DMA channel, during
horizontal blank, however they may be loaded by the processor.
The two registers are defined as follows:
SPRxPOS W A D Sprite x vertical-horiz start position data
Bit Use
---- ----
15-08
07-00 SH8-SH1 Start horizontal value. Low bit (SH0) in SPRxCTL.
SPRxCTL W A D Sprite x position and control data
Bit Use
---- ----
15-08
07
06
05
04 SHSH1 Start horizontal (SHR mode) 70ns increment
03 SHSH0 Start horizontal (SHR mode) 35ns (unimplemented)
02
01
00 SH0 Start horiz. value Low bit 140 ns increment
Note: bits 3 and 4 are in the ECS chips only.
Warning:
--------
70ns sprite positions are only available in SuperHires mode.
Attempting to use 70ns sprite positioning with Hires mode under
the current system may lead to unpredictable results.
C / ECS Hardware and Graphics Library / Multi-Sync and Bi-Sync Monitors
The enhanced Agnus now includes registers for setting a standard
programmable scan rate. The scan rates supported in the V36
graphics.library include:
NTSC (525 lines, 227.5 colorclocks per scan line)
PAL (625 lines, 227.5 colorclocks per scan line)
VGA (525 lines, 114.0 colorclocks per scan line)
The V36 graphics.library controls the variable number of colorclocks on
each horizontal scan line with a combination of registers. Each
combination of registers provides a different frequency of scan rate and
number of lines per display field:
HTOTAL W A Highest number count in horizontal line
Bit 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 10 00
Use 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 h8 h7 h6 h5 h4 h3 h2 h1
The value in this register represents the number of 280ns increments on
the horizontal line.
VTOTAL W A Highest numbered vertical line
VTOTAL contains the line number at which to reset the vertical position
counter. This value represents the number of lines in a field(+1). The
exception is if the INTERLACE bit is set (BPLCON0). In this case this
value represents the number of lines in the long field (+2) and the number
of lines in the short field (+1).
Programmable synchronization is implemented through five new enhanced
Agnus registers:
VSSTRT W A Vertical line position for VSYNC start
VSSTOP W A Vertical line position for VSYNC stop
HSSTRT W A Horizontal line position for HSYNC start
HSSTOP W A Horizontal line position for HSYNC stop
HCENTER W A Horizontal position for Vsync on interlace
A reasonable composite can be generated by setting HCENTER half a
horizontal line from HSSTRT, and HBSTOP at (HSSTOP-HSSTRT) before HCENTER,
with HBSTRT at (HSSTOP-HSSTRT) before HSSTRT.
Programmable blanking is implemented through four new ECS Agnus registers:
HBSTRT W A Horizontal line position for HBLANK start
HBSTOP W A Horizontal line position for HBLANK stop
VBSTRT W A Vertical line position for VBLANK start
VBSTOP W A Vertical line position for VBLANK stop
C / ECS Hardware and the Graphics Library / New BEAMCON0 Register
A new register in the enhanced Agnus, BEAMCON0, provides a programmable
signal generator.
BEAMCON0 W A Beam counter control register

14 HARDDIS Disable hardwired vertical/horizontal blank
13 LPENDIS Ignore latched pen value on vertical pos read

10 CSCBEN Composite sync redirection
9 VARVSYEN Variable vertical sync enable
8 VARHSYEN Variable horizontal sync enable
7 VARBEAMEN Variable beam counter comparator enable
6 DUAL Special ultra resolution mode enable
5 PAL Programmable pal mode enable
4 VARCSYEN Variable composite sync
3 BLANKEN Composite blank redirection
2 CSYTRUE Polarity control for C sync pin
1 VSYTRUE Polarity control for V sync pin
0 HSYTRUE Polarity control for H sync pin
Warning:
--------
Programmable changes between PAL and NTSC modes are new for V2.0.
They rely on hardware sync and blank in the Agnus/Denise chip set to
guarantee necessary signals for a correctly displayed picture.
Other modes, such as VGA (31 KHz programmable mode) disable the hard
stops on display sync and blank. Do not write to this register.
Incorrectly writing directly to BEAMCON0 has the (remote) possibility
of destroying your multisync monitor.
C / ECS Hardware and Graphics Library / Display Window Specification
The new graphics.library and the ECS provide a more powerful display
window specification. The registers DIWSTRT and DIWSTOP control the
display window size and position:
DIWSTRT W A D Display Window Start (upper left vert-hor pos)
DIWSTOP W A D Display Window Stop (lower right vert-hor pos)
Bit 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00
Use V7 V6 V5 V4 V3 V2 V1 V0 H7 H6 H5 H4 H3 H2 H1 H0
The way these two registers work has changed. DIWSTRT used to be
vertically restricted to the upper 2/3 of the display (V8=0), and
horizontally restricted to the left 3/4 of the display (H8=0). DIWSTOP
used to be vertically restricted to the lower 1/2 of the display and
horizontally restricted to the right 1/4 of the display (H8=1).
The V36 graphics.library now supports explicit display window start and
stop positions within a larger and more useful range of values, via
control of the the new DIWHIGH register in the ViewPort copper lists:
DIWHIGH W A D Display Window upper bits for start,stop
Bit Use
--- ---
15 0
14 0
13 H8 Horizontal stop, most significant bit.
12 0
11 0
10 V10 \
9 V9 } Vertical stop, most significant 3 bits.
8 V8 /
7 0
6 -
5 H8 Horizontal start, most significant bit.
4 0
3 0
2 V10 \
1 V9 } Vertical stop, most significant 3 bits.
0 V8 /
This is an added register for the ECS chips, and allows larger start and
stop ranges. If it is not written, the old scheme for DIWSTRT and DIWSTOP
described above holds. If this register is written last in a sequence of
setting the display window, it sets direct start and stop positions
anywhere on the screen.
A note on ECS compatibility.
----------------------------
With the enhanced Denise chip present, the graphics.library will set
up copperlists using the new, explicit display window controls.
Programs which consistently call MakeVPort(), MrgCop() and Loadview()
when changing the vertical position of their ViewPort (DxOffset) will
continue to behave normally.
Programs which failed to call MakeVPort() when moving the ViewPort
vertically may not be displayed correctly on a system with ECS.
C / ECS Hardware and the Graphics Library / Genlock Extensions
The V36 graphics.library supports the new genlock capabilities of the
enhanced Denise chip in PAL or NTSC modes. Any color registers may be
chosen as controlling video overlay (COLORKEY). A single bitplane may be
chosen to control video overlay as well (BITPLANEKEY). The border areas
surrounding the active display window may also be set to be opaque or
transparent.
BPLCON0 W A,D Bitplane control (miscellaneous control bits)
BPLCON1 W D Bitplane control (horizontal scroll control)
BPLCON2 W D Bitplane control (video priority control)

Warning:
--------
Genlock has been designed to work with NTSC and PAL modes only.
Genlock and 31 KHz programmable scan rates are not compatible modes.
C / ECS Hardware and the Graphics Library / Big Blits
The V36 graphics.library supports the ECS Agnus Blitter enhancements,
which provide for contiguous blits of up to 32768 x 32768 pixels at a
time. Under the original chip set 1024 x 1024 was the maximum:
BLTSIZE W A Old Blitter size and start (window width, height)
Bit 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00
Use h9 h8 h7 h6 h5 h4 h3 h2 h1 h0 w5 w4 w3 w2 w1 w0
h = Height (10 bit height = 1024 lines max)
w = Width (6 bit width = 1024 pixels max)
Two new registers have been added which make larger blits possible:
BLTSIZV W A ECS Blitter V size
Bit 15 14 12 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00
Use 0 h14 h13 h12 h11 h10 h9 h8 h7 h6 h5 h4 h3 h2 h1 h0
h = Height (15 bit height = 32768 lines max)
BLTSIZH W A ECS Blitter Horizontal size & start
Bit 15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00
Use 0 0 0 0 0 w10 w9 w8 w7 w6 w5 w4 w3 w2 w1 w0
w = Width (11 bit width = 32768 pixels max)
With these two registers, blits up to 32K by 32K are now possible - much
larger than the original chip set could accept. The original commands are
retained for compatibility. BLTSIZV should be written first, followed by
BLTSIZH, which starts the blitter.
The existence of the enhanced Agnus Blitter is reflected in the state of
the GfxBase->ChipRevBits bit definition GFXB_BIG_BLITS and is initialized
by the graphics.library at powerup. Note that the
constant MAXBYTESPERROW has been redefined to reflect the larger range of
legal blitter operations.
About RastPort Sizes.
---------------------
If the ECS Blitter is accessible, the graphics.library supports its
use for all graphics functions including areafill, gels, line and
ellipse drawing functions.
If the ECS Blitter is not installed, programmers should limit the
absolute size of their RastPorts to values that the old BLTSIZE
register can address.
C / ECS Hardware and the Graphics Library / Other ECS Modifications
The preceding sections cover most of the ECS registers appearing in the
ECS register map. This section briefly describes the remaining
modifications to the Enhanced Chip Set registers.
The following registers now have two additional bits for addressing larger
segments of memory, when the Enhanced Chip Set is present:
DSKPTH 020 W A Disk pointer
(high 5 bits, was 3 bits)
BLTxPTH 050 W A Blitter pointer to x
(high 5 bits, was 3 bits)
COP1LCH 080 W A Coprocessor 1st location
(high 5 bits,was 3 bits)
COP2LCH 084 W A Coprocessor 2nd location
(high 5 bits,was 3 bits)
AUDxLCH 0A0 W A Audio channel x location
(high 5 bits was 3 bits)
The Strobe Long Line register (STRLONG) can be disabled if the Disable
Long Line (LOLDIS) bit is set in the BEAMCON0 register.
STRLONG 03E S D Strobe for identification of long horiz line
See the Multi-Sync and Bi-Sync Monitors section in this appendix for the
bit descriptions in BEAMCON0.
Bit 7 (DOFF) of the BLTCON1 register, when set, disables the output of the
Blitter hardware on channel D.
BLTCON1 042 W A Blitter control register 1
This allows inputs to channels A, B and C and certain address modification
if necessary, without the Blitter outputting over channel D.
The BLTCON0L register writes the low bits of BLTCON0, thereby expediting
the set up of some blits and generally speeding up the software, since the
upper bits are often the same.
BLTCON0L 05A W A Blitter control 0, lower 8 bits (minterms)
C / ECS Hardware and Graphics Library / Interpretational Differences
The following registers have the same functionality as the standard chip
set, however, their behavior is interpreted differently.
The POT0 and POT1 registers each read a pair of 8-bit pot counters as
before.
POT0DAT 012 R P Pot counter data left pair
(vertical, horiz)
POT1DAT 014 R P Pot counter data right pair
(vertical, horiz)
However, with programmable scan rates, the values read from these
registers will differ. Generally, the faster the scan rate, the smaller
these values become. Adjustments to the scan rate are reflected in these
values. See Appendix A for more detail on standard operation of these
registers.
Another register where the interpretation has been extended for the ECS is
COPCON.
COPCON 02E W A Coprocessor control
This 1-bit register, the danger bit (CDANG), when set allows the
Coprocessor to write to the Blitter hardware. In the standard chip set, if
this is set, the Copper can access the address range from $DFF03E through
$DFF07E. Now, in the ECS, if this bit is set, the Copper can access all
of the Amiga chip registers. If this bit is clear, the Copper can access
the address range from $DFF03E through $DFF07E, the same range as when the
danger bit is set in the standard chip set.
The AUDxPER register is another register value that varies according to
the programmable scan rate.
AUDxPER 0A6 W P Audio channel x period
With programmable scan rates, the maximum value read from this register
will differ. Generally, the faster the scan rate, the smaller the maximum
period becomes. Adjustments to the scan rate are reflected in this maximum
value.
For more information on the AUDxPER register, and any other register in
the Amiga standard chip set, see Appendix A and Appendix B .
