,/* Overview */
The 6845 Cathode Ray Tube Controller (CRTC) is a programmable IC used to generate video displays. This IC is used in a variety of computers including the Amstrad CPC, Amstrad CPC+ and KC Compact.
The CRTC chip really is just a bunch of counters and equality operators. But the devil is in the details, and that's what we will discuss in this article.
The CRTC was a common part available from many different manufacturers. During the life of the CPC, Amstrad sourced the CRTC from various manufacturers.
