1-8 General Information 
1.4 Specifications for the Eclipse3 
The Eclipse3 are available in several configurations: 
Analog:  Borealis graphics controller and 16 or 32 MB display 
memory 
DVI:  Borealis graphics controller and 16 or 32 MB display 
memory and DVI-I DVI/VGA connector. Note that the 
Eclipse3CPCI and Eclipse3PCI have both VGA and DVI-I 
connectors. 
Special Order:  LEDs, LM75 thermal sensor, Serial EEPROM, Conformal 
Coating, Extended Temperature. Rear Panel I/O (CPCI J2). 
Standard Features for Eclipse3 Boards 
Graphics Processor:  Rastergraf Borealis 2D/3D High Performance 128-Bit 
Graphics Processor has vector and pixblt functions and 
programmable video timing. It supports SGRAM color and 
write-per-bit register functions and includes a VGA core. 
The maximum supported frequencies are 250 MHz for the 
pixel clock and 100 MHz for the memory clock. 
Display Memory:  Display memory is 16 MB or 32 MB of 128-bits/word, byte 
addressable, no-wait state SGRAM. 
16 MB of SGRAM gives eight pages of 1600 x 1200 using 
8-bit pixels, four pages using 16-bit pixels, or two pages 
using 32 bpp. 24 bpp packed pixel mode is not supported. 
EEPROM Memory:  128 KB Flash EEPROM contains the Rastergraf Quad 
Image BIOS (QIB) that supports SPARC FCode, VGA 
BIOS, DVI, and Sync-On-Green (SOG). A user jumper 
enables the QIB to select SOG. 
Graphics Display:  The Borealis chip has an internal 250 MHz RAMDAC. It 
has a 256 entry Look Up Table (LUT), which is converts 8-
bit pixels into full 24-bit RGB pixels. The RAMDAC has a 
programmable four color bit-mapped 64 x 64 cursor. It 
supports VGA and common non-interlaced displays 
ranging from 640 x 480 up to 1920 x 1200. Signature 
registers enable display analysis for end to end testing. 
The pixel size can be 8, 15, 16, or 32-bits. For 15 and 16 
bpp, the pixel is divided into Red, Green, and Blue: 5:5:5 or 
5:6:5. For 32 bpp, pixel is divided into Red, Green, and 
Blue (bits 24-31 are unused): 8:8:8:8.
