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)

 RJ45 connector
