FT81x Series - Display, Audio and Touch
Graphics Controller ICs |
|
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).
