The ATI264VT2 is a graphics controller from ATI Technologies (now AMD). This integrated graphics solution was commonly found in older desktop and laptop computers, offering basic display capabilities for standard applications and operating systems. It is part of the ATI Mach series of graphics accelerators.

Applications

• Older desktop PCs
• Legacy laptop computers
• Embedded systems requiring basic graphics output
• Industrial control systems with VGA displays

Features

• VGA Compatibility: Supports standard VGA resolutions and refresh rates.
• Integrated RAMDAC: Includes an integrated RAMDAC (Random Access Memory Digital-to-Analog Converter) for converting digital signals to analog for display on VGA monitors.
• Basic 2D Acceleration: Provides hardware acceleration for basic 2D graphics operations, improving performance compared to purely software-driven graphics.
• PCI Interface: Connects to the host system via the PCI bus.
• Power Management: Designed with power-saving features for use in portable devices.

Benefits

• Cost-Effective: Provides a low-cost graphics solution for systems where advanced graphics performance is not required.
• Wide Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of operating systems and applications that support standard VGA graphics.
• Low Power Consumption: Suitable for use in battery-powered devices due to its low power consumption.
• Simplified System Design: Integrated design reduces the number of discrete components required in the system.

Additional Details

The ATI264VT2 supports resolutions up to 1024x768 with 256 colors. The RAMDAC typically operates at frequencies up to 135 MHz. It is designed for use with a PCI bus interface. It is typically surface mounted. Drivers are required for operation within specific operating systems. These drivers are often available from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the computer system.
