FTDI FT810Q-T Advanced Embedded Video Engine VQFN48 18-Bit

The FTDI FT810Q-T Advanced Embedded Video Engine is a graphic controller for embedded applications, with 1MB of integrated graphics RAM and a programmable system clock of up to 60MHz.

Overview

The FTDI FT810Q-T is designed as an easy-to-use graphic controller for embedded applications that require high-quality Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). It generates high-resolution graphics and smooth video playback, integrating graphic, audio, and touch control functionality into a single device. Its built-in graphics operations enable users with limited expertise to create professional displays quickly.

Key Features

• Integrated Memory: 1MB of integrated graphics RAM, eliminating the need for an external frame buffer.
• Touch Interface: Supports a 4-wire resistive touch screen (FT810/FT812 models), with a hardware engine capable of recognising touch tags and tracking movement.
• Video Playback: Supports playback of motion-JPEG encoded AVI video files.
• Audio Output: Provides a mono audio channel with PWM output and a built-in sound synthesiser.
• Display Control: Offers PWM output for display backlight dimming and display enable control for LCD panels, with support for landscape and portrait orientations.
• Host Communication: Features a programmable interrupt controller to provide interrupts to the host MCU, and supports SPI communication in single, dual, or quad mode with clock speeds up to 30MHz.

Clocking and Video Output

The device includes a 12MHz crystal oscillator with a PLL, delivering a programmable system clock of up to 60MHz. It supports clock switching between internal and external sources, with an external 12MHz crystal or clock input option for enhanced accuracy. Video output is provided via a parallel RGB interface, configurable to support pixel clocks up to 60MHz and colour depth of 1 to 8 bits per channel. Programmable HSYNC and VSYNC timing controls allow interfacing with a wide variety of displays.
