Method and apparatus for address conversion in a chinese character generator of a CRTC scan circuit
In a CRTC scan circuit, a waste of memory space used in a character generator, such as a conventional Chinese character generator, during the scan can occur, thus an address conversion for a character generator is provided so that the memory space is completely utilized. The procedure of address conversion is carried out by dividing the MASKROM memory space which is used in a character generator into two separate pluralities of partition groups according to a "character frame space" and an "actually used space" of a character, establishing an address mapping between those two partition groups, and determining an offset value between the input and output address data in this mapping. A general rule about the relation between these two partition groups is given and an address converter to perform the procedure is disclosed.
