Breakout Board for 4D Systems 4DLCD-FT843 Display

Description

4DLCD-FT843-Breakout Board
The 4DLCD-FT843-Breakout is a simple breakout module designed specifically to interface the 4D Systems 4DLCD-FT843 Display (see 4D Systems’ website) directly with a host.
The Breakout Module features a 10 way FPC connection to attach the 4DLCD-FT843 Display, along with a 10 way 2.54mm pitch male pin header to attach directly to a Host PCB or onto a Breadboard for prototyping.
Communication between the Host and the 4DLCD- FT843 display (via this Breakout) is by the SPI Bus, along with 4 digitals. The Chip Select (CS) for the micro-SD card, the Chip Select (CS) for the Display, the Power Down (PD) for the Display, and the Host Interrupt (INT) for the Display, are the 4 digitals. The two CS pins are required to be used for the micro-SD and Display, and the PD and INT pins are optional but may be desired for some functionality.
The 4DLCD-FT843 also breaks out the Audio from the FT800 Video Engine, which can then be connected to an external filter and amplifier circuit if the user wishes to take advantage of this feature. Power for the 4DLCD-FT843 Display comes via this Breakout board, and should be between 3.0 and 3.6V, Nominal 3.3V. All signals from the 4DLCD-FT843 Display are 3.3V and are NOT 5V tolerant. For details on each of the pins and their descriptions, please refer to the 4DLCD-FT843 Display Datasheet.
All software support for the 4DLCD-FT843 Display and FT800 Video Engine is provided directly from FTDI, who also write and supply the library and demos for this shield/display combo. Hardware support is provided by 4D Systems.
