ABSTRACT:
An improved font ROM control circuit for an on-screen display capable of performing a function of an on-screen display RAM using an address ROM by storing a coded character address and a coded character color data in a plurality of address ROMs and to selectively output data, thereby to cope with an increasing needs of an on-screen display RAM having a large space, which includes an address signal generation circuit for outputting a readout address signal; an on-screen display RAM for storing a character address and a character color data of a character data in according to a record address signal outputted from a central processing unit and for outputting a previously stored character address and a character color data in accordance with a readout address signal; an address ROM for outputting character addresses and character color data in accordance with a readout address signal outputted from the address generation circuit; a memory selection register for outputting a memory selection signal so as to select a character address and for outputting a color memory selection signal so as to select a character color data; and a multiplexer for selecting character addresses and character color data outputted from the on-screen display ROM and the address ROM, respectively, in accordance with a memory selection signal and a character memory selection signal which are outputted from the memory selection register and for outputting the selected character addresses and character color data to a column selection signal generation circuit and an output control circuit, respectively.
