Bridgetek FT801Q-R

The FT801 is an easy to use graphic controller targeted for embedded applications to generate high-quality Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs).

• 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 multitouch 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 512×512 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 (480×272) and QVGA (320×240) 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 250uA 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
