VM800BU Datasheet Version 1.0 Document Reference No.: FT_001026 Clearance No.: FTDI#404 FTDI Chip VM800BU Datasheet Embedded Video Engine Basic USB module General Purpose Multi Media Controller 1 Introduction The VM800BU is a USB controlled development module for FTDI's FT800, which is used to develop and demonstrate the functionality of the FT800 Embedded Video Engine, EVE. This module interfaces with a system controller via a USB port, accessing an onboard FT232H bridge chip to connect to the FT800 SPI port. VM800BU 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). VM800BU35A-xx is the 3.5" LCD VM800BU43A-xx is the 4.3" LCD VM800BU50A-xx is the 5.0" LCD 1.1 Features The VM800BU utilises the FTDI FT800 Embedded Video Engine, EVE. Graphic, audio and touch features of the FT800 chip can be accessed with the VM800BU. For a full list of the FT800's features please see the FT800 datasheet. The VM800BU has the following features: Integrated QVGA resolution (3.5") or WQVGA resolution (4.3"/5.0") LCD display Integrated resistive touch screen LCD panel On board LCD backlight LED Driver On board audio power amplifier and micro speaker FT232H USB interface controller Flexible 5V power supply. Powering the VM800BU using either a 2.1mm power jack or USB Micro-B port Precision fitted bezel in black(-BK) or pearl (-PL) 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.

An overview of the process is provided in the following paragraphs with more details in AN_245_VM800CB_SampleAPP_PC_Introduction. MPSSE is a "multi purpose synchronous serial engine" interface available in some FTDI devices (e.g. FT2232D, FT232H, FT2232H and FT4232H). This engine allows users to bridge from a USB port to an I2C or SPI interface. Sample code is available for driving the FT800 over this interface with a FT232H device. 11 Copyright (c) 2014 Future Technology Devices International Limited VM800BU Datasheet Version 1.0 Document Reference No.: FT_001026 Clearance No.: FTDI#404 Figure 5-1 - VM800BU Connects to PC through USB.
