1 Introduction
The VM810C is a development module for
FTDI’s FT810, which is used to develop and
demonstrate the functionality of the FT810
Embedded Video Engine, EVE. This module
behaves as an SPI slave, and requires a SPI
Master for proper micro-controller interfacing
and system integration.
VM810C modules support 5.0” LCD panel
size options. Users can also connect to
different LCD screens as long as they meet
the FT810 technical specification and fit the
VM810C LCD connector.

1.1 Features
The VM810C utilises the FTDI FT810
Embedded Video Engine. Graphic, audio and
touch features of the FT810 can be accessed
with the VM810C. For a full list of the FT810’s
features please see the FT810 datasheet.
The VM810C has the following features:
Ready to use LCD module
Options with or without 5” LCDs supporting
resistive touch with pressure sensing
On board LCD backlight LED Driver
Supports mono audio output
On board audio power amplifier and micro
speaker
Flexible power supply. Powering the
VM810C using SPI host connector, or via
USB Micro-B port, or via a 2.0mm JST
connector
5 V tolerant buffers when used with a 5V
SPI Master.

with your system.
3.1 VM810C board
Figure 3-1 – VM810C board top view
The VM810C module is intended for direct use into existing applications that require a display. This
module is suitable for interfacing with an external microcontroller that has a SPI Master channel.
The main functions of the VM810C are as follows:
Micro USB, SPI connector or 2-pin connector for power supply
3.3V regulator : Takes 5V input and outputs 3.3V for on-board circuits
WVGA(800x480) TFT LCD touch screen panel (for the VM810C50A-D module)
LCD backlight driver. On board back light driver has over voltage protection (OVP) of 34V, and
drive current 60mA.
5V tolerant buffers between the SPI master interface and the Slave interface of the FT810
o
SPI timing requirements can be referenced in the FT810 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 VM810C.
3 stage audio filter and power amplifier
8Ω speaker
Audio line out option
