Targeting the emerging PC market, SiS6326 is the first member of the new SiS63x6 family, which consists of high integration, super performance, and feature-rich 3D/2D graphics & video accelerators.
Being a 208-pin PQFP package, SiS6326 integrates AGP/PCI VGA controller, 3D/2D graphics accelerator, NTSC/PAL TV-OUT solution, MPEG-2/1 video decoder, and video accelerator. The target of SiS6326 is to meet all the emerging PC requirements which includes 3D acceleration, output to TV, DVD/VCD player, and video acceleration in one chip and in a market acceptable price.
As the first member of 63x6 family, totally new pin-outs and application circuits are developed. However the definition of the registers are designed as backward compatible with previous SiS62x5 as possible as to shorten the product-to-market time.
