Overview

The VM816C50A-D is a credit-card sized evaluation board featuring the BT816 Embedded Video Engine (EVE) and a pre-assembled 5-inch 800x480 TFT LCD. This module simplifies the integration of high-quality graphics, resistive touch sensing, and audio playback into embedded systems by offloading the display rendering and touch processing from the host microcontroller.

Why Choose This Part

The board features a built-in 16MB IC Flash memory for storing graphical assets and an onboard LED driver for backlight control, reducing external component count. It supports both single and quad SPI for flexible data rates and includes a dedicated audio power amplifier for direct speaker connection.

Applications

Industrial HMI Units
Integrated resistive touch and 800x480 resolution make it ideal for rugged control panels in factory environments.
Medical Monitoring Equipment
Utilizes the built-in audio amplifier and 16MB flash for voice prompts and high-resolution status displays.
Embedded Instrumentation
The SPI/QSPI interface allows low-resource MCUs to drive complex graphical interfaces without a large frame buffer.
