VI800A-PoE Datasheet
Plug in accessory for
VM800P Embedded Video
Engine
Plus module
1 Introduction
The VI800A-PoE is a plug in accessory for
the VM800P Plus module, which is used to
develop and demonstrate the functionality of
the FT800 Embedded Video Engine, EVE.
This module behaves as a SPI to ethernet
bridge on the VM800P Plus module with the
additional option of providing a 5V, 1.8A
power pin derived from the ethernet port.
1.1 Features
Connects to the VM800P Plus module using
an SPI slave interface
SPI slave interface is converted to an
ethernet interface compliant with IEEE
802.3 10BASE-T and 802.3u 100BASE-TX
Power over Etherent (PoE) supplies 5V DC
at 1.8A. May be used to power VM800P
module. Conforms to IEEE 802.3af
VI800A-PoE module is powered from the
VM800P module (3V3 supply)
6 LEDs to indicate Ethernet status. (2
integrated in the RJ45 connector)
