RAM Digital to Analog Converter, chip which converts complete images from sequences of bits in analogical wave form and sends them to the monitor to be displayed. From its working frequency, expressed in MHz, depends the maximum refreshing frequency on the monitor. A good RAMDAC is essential to obtain a stable and smooth image on the monitor.
A direct access storage or memory used to convert digitally encoded data into analog signals performed by specific chips.
A circuit built into PC video adapters for the express purpose of converting the digital image into an analog signal that can be displayed on a standard monitor. The speed of the RAMDAC determines refresh rates.
The RAMDAC converts the digital signals to analog signals on a graphics board. VGA monitors are only capable of processing analog signals.
(Random Access Memory Digital/Analog Converter): Portion of the graphics card used to convert the digital color signal that is transmitted from the computer into analog signals to be displayed by a CRT monitor. Higher screen resolutions and refresh rates require faster RAMDACS.
DAC that contains a built-in palette look-up table.
This is the part of a graphics card that transfers the digital color signals into analog signals that a CRT monitor can understand. Faster RAMDACs are necessary if you want to use higher resolution displays at higher color and refresh rates.
Acronym for Random Access Memory Digital to Analog Converter. A RAMDAC is a functional unit of a graphics processor that converts the digital data stored in the frame buffer into analog data that can be sent directly to an analog monitor.
(Random access memory digital to analog converter) - the controller circuit that maintains the color palette and converts digital data from memory into analog signals for the monitor.
Also known as Random Access Memory to Digital Analog Converter. A chip on the video card which turns digital signals to analog signals, which then are outputted to a monitor.
The part of a graphics card that transfers the digital color signals into analog signals that a CRT monitor can understand, or to digital signals that...
The RAMDAC converts the data in the frame buffer into the RGB signal required by the monitor.
Random Access Memory Digital to Analog Converter. The chip on a videocard that converts the bits of a digital image into an analog signal. It maintains the color palette and determines refresh rates. The faster the RAMDAC MHz, the higher the refresh rate your system can handle. (4/99)
A digital-to-analog convert with built-in RAM-based lookup tables.
The RAMDAC (random access memory digital-to-analog converter) is a microchip in a computer that converts digital information to analog information so that the monitor can understand it.
Random Access Memory Digital-to-Analog Converter - This microchip sits on a VGA card or other graphics display board and translates the digital representation of a screen full of information into an analog signal that the monitor can display. The faster the RAMDAC (measured in MHz), the higher the screen refresh rates that the card will support at each given resolution.
Short for Random Access Memory Digital-to-Analog Converter. The RAMDAC is a single chip located on a video card. The RAMDAC's role is to convert digitally encoded images into analog signals that can be displayed by a monitor.
Random Access Memory Digital-to-Analog Converter. This is part of the graphics card which converts the digital intensity values for each of the red, green and blue guns (usually an 8-bit number) to analog voltages which are sent to the monitor. A RAMDAC can use its RAM to store look-up table (LUT) information.
RAM digital-to-analog converter. A chip built into some VGA and SVGA display adapters that translates the digital representation of a pixel into the analog information needed by the monitor to display it. The presence of a RAMDAC chip usually enhances overall display performance.
Random Access Memory to Digital Analog Converter. A chip on videocard which turns digital signals to analog ones which can be outputed to a monitor.
Random Access Memory Digital-to-Analog Converter is a combination of three fast DACs with a small SRAM used in graphics display adapters to store the color palette and to generate the analog signals (usually a voltage amplitude) to drive a colour monitor. The logical colour number from the display memory is fed into the address inputs of the SRAM to select a palette entry to appear on the output of the SRAM. This entry is composed of three separate values corresponding to the three components (red, green, and blue) of the desired physical colour.
