FT801

(Embedded Video Engine)

The FT801 is an easy to use graphic controller

targeted for embedded applications to generate high-

quality Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). It has the

following features:

 FT801 functionality includes graphic controller,

audio processing, and capacitive touch controller

interface.

 Compatibility mode allows display code to be run

on FT801 or FT800. Extended mode enables multi-

touch capabilities for FT801.

 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

 Support capacitive touch screen with up to 5

touches detection

 Hardware engine can recognize touch tags and

track touch movement. It provides notification for

up to 255 touch tags.

 Enhanced sketch processing

 Programmable interrupt controller provides

interrupts to host MPU/MCU

 Built-in 12MHz crystal oscillator with PLL providing

48MHz or 36MHz system clock

 Clock switch command for internal or external

clock source. External 12MHz crystal or clock input

can be used for higher accuracy.

 Video RGB parallel output (default RGB data width

of 6-6-6) with 2 bit dithering; configurable to

support resolution up to 512x512 and 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 FT801 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 8 kHz to 48 kHz. 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 I

C 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

 Standard serial interface to host MPU/MCU with

SPI up to 30MHz or I²C clocking up to 3.4MHz

 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
