EVE technology is a revolutionary concept that utilizes an object orienthttps://brtchip.com/product-eve-ics-bt81x-ics/ed methodology for creating hi-quality human machine interfaces (HMIs). With support for display, audio, and touch, this new technology allows engineers to quickly and efficiently design HMIs and deliver robust solutions, hi-resolution displays with lower bill of material costs. The EVE product offering includes:
- FT813 – Generation 2 with 800 x 600 pixel resolution, capacitive touch and true 24 bit colour
- FT812 – Generation 2 with 800 x 600 pixel resolution, resistive touch and true 24 bit colour
- FT811 – Generation 2 with 800 x 600 pixel resolution and capacitive touch
- FT810 – Generation 2 with 800 x 600 pixel resolution and resistive touch
FT81x Series – Display, Audio and Touch Controller
Overview
Building on the success of the first generation of FT80x touch display controller ICs with Embedded Video Engine (EVE) technology, the series has now been extended to include a further four graphics controller devices which offer a plethora of improvements and extended capabilities, the FT81x series.
The FT810, FT811, FT812 and FT813 provide increased pixel resolution for sharper imagery, increased speed for faster data transfer and image/video loading, and larger memory capacity in order to create advanced, dynamic and sophisticated Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs).
