The SSD1963 can then be programmed to output 16bit/18bit colour or 24 bit colour from the Video Frame Buffer.
The SS1963 will output all the necessary Video signals for your screen, after you have set it up.
if you display 24bit colour, then you need to write 3 bytes (being 1 pixel ) to the Video Frame Buffer through your 16bit memory interface.
the SSD1963 has an internal Video Frame Buffer of 1.215MBytes
that will output a MAXIMUM screen size of 864x480 with 24bit colour.
The Tearing pin, signals when the Video Frame Buffer is IDLE, much like the back porch and front porch times.
Whilst the Video Frame Buffer is not busy ( IDLE ), you should be able to write very quickly..
As Clive has pointed out, the F1 series processor is a little under powered for the job, but for static displays, it will work ok.
There is no chance that this F1 series processor will be able to write a complete 800 x 400 display during the IDLE time, and so a VIDEO out function is not available to you.
