FT800
(Embedded Video Engine)
The FT800 is an easy to use graphic ^
controller targeted for embedded
applications to generate high-quality
Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) . _
It has the following features:
 FT800 functionality includes graphic
controller, audio processing, and resistive ^
touch controller.


Embedded Video Engine (EVE) with widget
support can offload the system MPU and

provide a variety of graphic features

 Built-in graphics operations allow users with
little expertise to create high-quality display
 Integrated with 4-wire touch-screen
controller incorporating median filtering and
touch force sensing. Hardware engine can

recognize touch tags and track touch
movement. It provides notification for up to 
255 touch tags.
 Standard serial interface to host MPU/MCU
with SPI up to 30MHz or I²C clocking up to 
3.4MHz

 Programmable interrupt controller provides
interrupts to host MPU/MCU
 Built-in 12MHz crystal oscillator with PLL 
providing 48MHz or 36MHz system clock
 Video RGB parallel output (default RGB data 
width of 6-6-6) with 2 bit dithering;
configurable to support resolution up to
512x512 and LCD R/G/B data width of 1 to ^
6
 Programmable timing to adjust HSYNC and ^
VSYNC timing, enabling interface to
numerous displays

Support for LCD display in WQVGA
(480x272) and QVGA (320x240) formats
with data enable (DE) support mode and
VSYNC/HSYNC mode
The FT800 calculates for 8-bit colour despite
only providing pins for 6-bit (RGB-6,6,6);
this improves the half tone appearance
Display enable control output to LCD panel
Mono audio channel output with PWM output
Built-in sound synthesizer
Audio wave playback for mono 8-bit linear
PCM, 4-bit ADPCM and µ-Law coding format
at sampling frequency from 8kHz to 48kHz.
Built-in digital filter reduces the system
design complexity of external filtering
PWM output for backlight dimming control
for LED
Low power consumption for portable
application, 24mA active (typical) and 250
uA sleep (typical)
No frame buffer RAM required
Advanced object oriented architecture
enables low cost MPU/MCU as system host
using I²C and SPI interfaces
Power mode control allows chip to be put in
power down, sleep and standby states
Supports host interface I/O voltage from
1.8V to 3.3V
Internal voltage regulator supplies 1.2V to
the digital core
-40°C to 85°C extended operating
temperature range
Available in a compact Pb-free, VQFN-48,
7mm X 7mm X 0.9mm package, RoHS
compliant
