VM800C Datasheet Version 1.2 Document Reference No.: FT_000844 Clearance No.: FTDI# 345 The VM800C module is intended for direct use into existing applications that require a display.This module is suitable for interfacing with an external microcontroller that has a SPI Master channel. The VM800C module PCB comes in 2 types , 3.5 inch as well as a 4.3/5 inch model. The difference between the 2 models is the flex cable receptical of the LCD. The 3.5 inch LCD uses a 54 pin receptical, whereas the 4.3/5 inch model uses a 40 pin receptical. The main functions of the VM800C are as follows:  Micro USB, SPI connector or 2-pin connector for power supply  3.3V regulator : Takes 5V input and outputs 3.3V for on-board circuits  LCD touch screen panel  LCD backlight driver. On board back light driver has over voltage protection (OVP).

The following paragraphs provide a short description for development procedures. MPSSE is a “multi purpose synchronous serial engine” interface available in some FTDI device (e.g. FT2232D, FT232H, FT2232H anf FT4232H). This engine allows users to bridge from a USB port on a PC to an I2C or SPI interface. Sample code is available for driving the FT800 over this interface with a FT232H device that has been integrated into a cable. This device is available in the VA800A-SPI board, or C232HM-EDHSL-0(5V) cable or C232HM-DDHSL-0(3.3V) cable. VA800A-SPI is a MPSSE module accessory which can connect to the VM800C modules directly. Detailed information of VA800A-SPI can be found at: http://www.ftdichip.com/VM800B.htm. More information about MPSSE cables may be found at: http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/DataSheets/Cables/DS_C232HM_MPSSE_CABLE.pdf. In this section it is assumed the 5V version of the MPSSE cable (FTDI part no C232HM-EDHSL-0) is used. In case a 3.3V version of the MPSSE cable (FTDI part no C232HM-DDHSL-0) is available, the setup is similar except for the power pin connection. Refer to table 5-1 for board power configuration. 14 Copyright © 2014 Future Technology Devices International Limited

VM800C Datasheet Version 1.2 Document Reference No.: FT_000844 Clearance No.: FTDI# 345 Figure 5-1 – VM800C connects to PC via VA800A-SPI or MPSSE cable. Hardware Setup VA800A-SPI  Solder a 10 position single row pin header to J5 footprint of the VM800C board  Connect VA800A-SPI to the VM800C module in the correct orientation.  Connect USB cable (e.g. FTDI accessory VA-FC-1M-BKW or VA-FC-1M-BLW) from the VA800A- SPI to the PC USB host port.  VA800A-SPI will supply power to VM800C after MPSSE driver is properly loaded and the USB host completed USB device configuration. Hardware Setup MPSSE Cable  Solder a 10 position single row pin header to J5 footprint of the VM800C board  Configure JP1 to either 3.3V or 5V o Power Audio Amp by 3.3V : JP1 pin1 and pin 2 close o Power Audio Amp by 5V : JP1 pin2 and pin 3 close (5V board supply must be provided)  Connect MPSSE leads to VM800C board’s J5( SPI interface) in accordance with Table 5-2  Plug MPSSE cable to PC USB port Software Setup  Download PC Base MPSSE software. MPSSE cable and driver information can be found at http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBMPSSE.htm.  Launch the Sample Application based on MPSSE from PC  For more information on utilizing the VM800C development system with the MPSSE cable and Sample Application, refer to AN_245. 15 Copyright © 2014 Future Technology Devices International Limited
