Introduction
The VM800C 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 micro-controller interfacing
and system integration.
VM800C modules support 3 different LCD
panel size options. Users can also connect to
different LCD screens as long as they meet
the FT800 technical specification and fit the
VM800C LCD connector.

Features
The VM800C utilises the FTDI FT800
Embedded Video Engine. Graphic, audio and
touch features of the FT800 can be accessed
with the VM800C. For a full list of the FT800’s
features please see the FT800 datasheet.
The VM800C has the following features:
Ready to use LCD module
Part types with 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 VM800C
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.
Use of FTDI devices in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at the user’s risk, and the user agrees
to defend, indemnify and hold harmless FTDI from any and all damages, claims, suits or expense resulting
from such use.

The VM800C 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 VM800C module PCB comes in 2 types , 3.5 inch as well as a 4.3/5 inch model. The difference
between the 2 models is the flex cable receptical of the LCD. The 3.5 inch LCD uses a 54 pin receptical,
whereas the 4.3/5 inch model uses a 40 pin receptical.
The main functions of the VM800C 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
LCD touch screen panel
LCD backlight driver. On board back light driver has over voltage protection (OVP).

SPI timing requirement can be referred to FT800 datasheet. The on board level convert
buffers introduce additional delay. The actual maximum SPI clock frequency depends on
the host system timing and connection cable length to VM800C.
