Detailed Description

The FT800 provides a powerful feature set in a small package to create dynamic HMI interfaces.

The device supports line by line graphics rendering to 1/16 of a pixel on displays with resolution up to 512 × 512 with 262K colours. The chip includes a touch controller for sensing touch feedback from a TFT display with a resistive touch panel as well as a sound synthesizer and audio playback with a PWM output to drive a speaker.

The VM800P series of modules is a stand-alone display system which has a flash based microcontroller on board, thus providing a fully integrated display system ready to go.  The VM800P supports many I/O daughter cards or shields for expanding external interfacing and control. These shields use 1 or 2 Micro-MaTch miniature connectors to interface to the VM800P main module. Users will be able to purchase shields from FTDI Chip in the coming months, or alternatively can build their own shield  for specific applications.

The VM800P series of 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).
