-- This file contains the logic to generate the synchronization signals,
-- horizontal and vertical pixel counter and video disable signal
-- for the 640x480@60Hz resolution.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--  Behavioral description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Please read the following article on the web regarding the
-- vga video timings:
-- http://www.epanorama.net/documents/pc/vga_timing.html

-- This module generates the video synch pulses for the monitor to
-- enter 640x480@60Hz resolution state. It also provides horizontal
-- and vertical counters for the currently displayed pixel and a blank
-- signal that is active when the pixel is not inside the visible screen
-- and the color outputs should be reset to 0.

-- timing diagram for the horizontal synch signal (HS)
-- 0                         648    744           800 (pixels)

-- -----------------------------------|______|-------

-- The blank signal is delayed one pixel clock period (40ns) from where
-- the pixel leaves the visible screen, according to the counters, to
-- account for the pixel pipeline delay. This delay happens because
-- it takes time from when the counters indicate current pixel should
-- be displayed to when the color data actually arrives at the monitor
-- pins (memory read delays, synchronization delays).
