Bridgetek Graphics Controller 48-Pin VQFN

EVE, Embedded Video Engine FT801

FTDI’s FT801 is an accessible LCD graphic controller targeted for embedded applications to produce high-quality Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). This Embedded Video Engine (EVE) with widget support can offload the system MPU and deliver a range of graphic features. It’s functionality includes graphic controller, audio processing, and capacitive touch controller interface which are supported by WQVGA (480x272) and QVGA (320x240) displays. The FT801 calculates for 8-bit colour even with pins for 6-bit (RGB-6,6,6); thus improving the half tone appearance.

• Support capacitive touch screen with up to 5 touches detection
• Enhanced sketch processing
• Programmable interrupt controller provides interrupts to host MPU/MCU
