ABSTRACT:
Z-buffer control logic that provides access AND comparison at speeds unconstrained by DRAM memory access times. A Z-buffer controller is implemented which accumulates a number of pixels in adjacent locations into an associated cell. A Z-buffer comparator accesses Z-buffer retained values for the cell in parallel, performs parallel comparisons, and passes the results to a serializer. The Z-buffer serializer returns the order of the written pixels and outputs the required values to a display interface for continued processing and display on a graphics display device.
