4.13 VGA
COM Express provides analog display signals. There are three signals -- red, green,
and blue -- that send color information to a VGA monitor. These three signals each
drive an electron gun that emits electrons which paint one primary color at a point on
the monitor screen. Analog levels between 0 (completely dark) and 0.7 V (maximum
brightness) on these control lines tell the monitor what intensities of these three
primary colors to combine to make the color of a dot (or pixel) on the monitor’s screen.
4.13.1 Signal Description
Table 4-23 shows COM Express VGA signals, including pin number, signals, I/0,
power plane, terminal resistors, damping resistors and descriptions.
