    DB15 VGA Connector Schematic and Pinout Assignment

    The DB15 VGA (Video Graphics Array) connector contains however 15 pins in three rows of 5 pins each. These five pins carry the colour and synchronisation signals, also a digital I2C interface for two-way communication between the video controller and monitor. The common 15-pin VGA connector found on most video cards, computer monitors, high definition televisions which support VGA connections. The following schematic diagram and table shows respectively connector and pin assignment of DB15 VGA.

    Function Red Video Green Video Blue Video not connected Signal Ground Red Ground Green Ground Blue Ground 5 VDC supply (fused) Signal Ground not connected DDC/I2C data Horizontal Sycn Vertical Sycn DDC/I2C Clock

    Nearly all modern PC graphics cards use the same 15 pin VGA connector that the original IBM VGA card used. VGA=Video Graphics adapter or Video Graphics Array.

    VGA connectors
    There are at least four versions of the VGA connector, which are the three-row 15 pin DE-15 (also called mini sub D15) in original and DDC2 pinouts, a less featureful and far less common 9-pin VGA, and a Mini-VGA used for laptops. The image and below table are the newer 15-pin VGA VESA DDC2 connector pinout.

    Note: Direction is Computer relative Monitor. All VGA pinout signals except R, G, B are TTL level signals.

    11 ID0 n/c n/c GND GND

    12 ID1 n/c GND n/c n/c no monitor Mono monitor which does not support 1024x768 Color monitor which does not support 1024x768 Color monitor which supports 1024x768

    GND means connected to ground n/c means that the pin is not connected anywhere

    This monitor type detection is becoming more and more obsolete nowadays. New VGA plugand-play monitors communicate with the computer according to VESA DDC standard.

    VGA VESA DDC


    VESA Display Data Channel is a method for integrating digital interface to VGA connector so as to enable the monitor and graphics card to communicate. There are two different levels of DDC: DDC1 and DDC2.
    VGA DDC1 pinout details

    DDC1 allows the monitor to tell its parameters to the computer. The following VGA card connector pins have to be changed to allow DDC1 functions:
    VGA pin new function 9 Optional +5V output from graphics card 12 Data from display 14 Standard vertical sync signal which works also as data clock 15 Monitor ID3

    When the VGA graphics card detects data on data-line it starts to read the data coming from the monitor synchronous to vertical sync pulse. Vertical sync pulse frequency can be increased up to 25 KHz for the time of the data transfer if a DDC1 compliant monitor is found (be sure not to send those high frequencies to non DDC1 monitors!).

    VGA DDC2 pinout details


    DDC2 allows bidirectional communication: monitor can tell its parameters and the computer can adjust monitor settings. The bidirectional data bus is a synchronous data bus similar to Access Bus and is based on I2C technology. The following pins on VGA pinout have to be changed to enable DDC2 to work:
    VGA pin new function 9 Optional +5V output from graphics card 12 Bidirectional data line (SDA) 15 Data clock (SCLK)

    The signals in the data bus are standard I2C signals. The computer provides 15 kohm pullup for the SDA and SCLK lines. Monitor must provide 47 kohm pull-up on SCLK line.
