VM800B50A-BK (FTDI) FT800 EVE 5"TFT MODULE, BLACK BZL. 480x272 (WQVGA)

 

Embedded Video Engine Basic module The VM800B is a development module for 

FTDI’s FT800, which is used to develop and demonstrate the functionality of the FT800 

Embedded Video Engine, EVE. This module behaves as an SPI slave, and requires a SPI Master for proper microcontroller interfacing and system integration.

 

VM800B modules support 3 different LCD panel size options and are designed for industrial or commercial environments with precision fitted bezels in either black (-BK) or pearl (-PL).

 VM800B35A-xx is the 3.5” LCD

 VM800B43A-xx is the 4.3” LCD

 VM800B50A-xx is the 5.0” LCD

 

The VM800B utilises the FTDI FT800 Embedded Video Engine, EVE. Graphic, audio 

and touch features of the FT800 chip can be accessed with the VM800B. For a full list of the 

FT800’s features please see the FT800 datasheet. The VM800B has the following features: 

 

 Ready to use LCD module

 Integrated with resistive touch screen LCD panel

 On board LCD backlight LED Driver

 On board audio power amplifier and micro speaker

 Flexible power supply. Powering the VM800B using either a 2.1mm power jack ,

    SPI master connector or via USB Micro-B port 

 5 V tolerant buffers when used with a 5V SPI Master

 Precision fitted bezel in black(-BK) or pearl (-PL)

 

The main functions of the VM800B are as follows:

 Micro USB connector

 SPI connector

 2-pin connector for power supply

 3.3V regulator: Takes 5V input and outputs 3.3V for on-board circuits

 LCD touch screen panel

 5V tolerant buffers between the SPI master interface and the Slave interface of the FT800

o SPI timing requirements can be found in the FT800 datasheet. The on board level converter buffers introduce additional delay. The actual maximum SPI clock frequency depends on the host system timing and connection cable length to the VM800B PCB.

 3 stage audio filter and power amplifier

 8Ω speaker

 Audio line out option

 

 Precision fitted bezel
