Combining display, audio and touch functionality on a single chip working with displays up to 800x600 pixels in portrait or landscape orientation, the FT81x family has 18-bit or 24-bit RGB interfacing options, plus increased RAM capacity (1Mbytes) for storing graphics or audio data.

A built-in JPEG decompression engine provides better graphics data usage and enables more effective HMI implementation. These devices support multiple colour palettes of 16-bits and 32-bits with transparency. The host processor SPI/QSPI interfaces support upto 30MHz operation.

In order to support the FT81x ICs, FTDI Chip has announced the VM810C50A family of compact evaluation/development modules, available for immediate ordering.
