NHD-FT81X-SHIELD

The NHD-FT81X-SHIELD is an expansion board for the popular FT81X display controller family. It is primarily used to provide additional features, such as audio, touch, and display connectivity, that is not available on the FT81X devices. The NHD-FT81X-SHIELD is an add-on for existing FT81X designs, and as such, it can be used to evaluate the performance of the FT81X devices.

The NHD-FT81X-SHIELD utilizes the FTDI FT81XMP5-R oscillator, which is specifically designed to drive the FT81X display controller. The oscillator provides the clock signal needed to program and operate FT81X devices, as well as to populate the correct data on the display. The shield also provides a DC-DC converter to power up the FT81X device and separate power supplies for the backlight and LCD panels.

The NHD-FT81X-SHIELD also contains the STM32F413 Cortex-M4 microcontroller, which is utilized to control the touch interface. The shield provides several different user-friendly peripherals, such as a UART, I2C, and SPI bus, as well as a couple of user LEDs and user-configurable push buttons. The user can also access the shield\'s on-board microSD card slot for additional storage, or can access a mini-USB port and the JST-PH connector for a connection to external sensors.

The NHD-FT81X-SHIELD is an evaluation board that is extremely useful when evaluating and testing new FT81X designs. It makes the process of evaluating FT81X designs much more straightforward and efficient. The various components of the shield allow the designer to quickly evaluate the performance of the FT81X device and bring the design to fruition. Additionally, the shield can be used to test different configurations of FT81X devices, allowing the most optimal configuration to be used in larger-scale applications.
