PRODUCTION DATA
The VSYNC is used to sync the display of each frame for the devices in a cascaded chain. The VSYNC is a write-only command. The devices receive VSYNC command one time from the controller in each frame, and the VSYNC command needs to be active for all devices at the same time.
Since some devices receive the command earlier in the data chain, they need to wait until the last device receives the command, then all the devices are active at that time. In order to realize such function, each device needs to know its delay time from receiving VSYNC command to enabling VSYNC. The device uses some register bits to restore the device number in a data chain. This number will minus the device identification, and the result is the delay time of the device.
Since the sync function has been done by the device, the controller only needs to send the VSYNC command to the first device in a data chain.
