Introduction
The VM800C is a development module for
FTDI’s FT800, which is used to develop and
demonstrate the functionality of the FT800
Embedded Video Engine, EVE. This module
behaves as an SPI slave, and requires a SPI
Master for proper micro-controller interfacing
and system integration.
VM800C modules support 3 different LCD
panel size options. Users can also connect to
different LCD screens as long as they meet
the FT800 technical specification and fit the
VM800C LCD connector.

Features
The VM800C utilises the FTDI FT800
Embedded Video Engine. Graphic, audio and
touch features of the FT800 can be accessed
with the VM800C. For a full list of the FT800’s
features please see the FT800 datasheet.
The VM800C has the following features:
Ready to use LCD module
Part types with LCDs supporting resistive
touch with pressure sensing.
On board LCD backlight LED Driver
Supports mono audio output
On board audio power amplifier and micro
speaker
Flexible power supply. Powering the VM800C
using either a 2.1mm power jack , SPI
master connector or via USB Micro-B port
5 V tolerant buffers when used with a 5V SPI
Master.
