 FT801 functionality includes graphic controller, audio processing, and capacitive touch controller interface.

 Compatibility mode allows display code to be run on FT801 or FT800. Extended mode enables multi-touch capabilities for FT801.

 Embedded Video Engine (EVE) with widget support can offload the system MPU and provide a variety of graphic features

 Built-in graphics operations allow users with little expertise to create high-quality display

 Support capacitive touch screen with up to 5 touches detection

 Hardware engine can recognize touch tags and track touch movement. It provides notification for up to 255 touch tags.

 Enhanced sketch processing

 Programmable interrupt controller provides interrupts to host MPU/MCU

 Built-in 12MHz crystal oscillator with PLL providing 48MHz or 36MHz system clock

 Clock switch command for internal or external clock source. External 12MHz crystal or clock input can be used for higher accuracy.

 Video RGB parallel output (default RGB data width of 6-6-6) with 2 bit dithering; configurable to support resolution up to 512x512 and R/G/B data width of 1 to 6

 Programmable timing to adjust HSYNC and VSYNC timing, enabling interface to numerous displays

 Support for LCD display in WQVGA (480x272) and QVGA (320x240) formats with data enable (DE) support mode and VSYNC/HSYNC mode

 The FT801 calculates for 8-bit colour despite only providing pins for 6-bit (RGB-6,6,6); this improves the half tone appearance

 Display enable control output to LCD panel

 Mono audio channel output with PWM output

 Built-in sound synthesizer

 Audio wave playback for mono 8-bit linear PCM, 4-bit ADPCM and μ-Law coding format at sampling frequency from 8 kHz to 48 kHz. Built-in digital filter reduces the system design complexity of external filtering

 PWM output for backlight dimming control for LED

 Low power consumption for portable application, 24mA active (typical) and 250 uA sleep (typical)

 No frame buffer RAM required

 Advanced object oriented architecture enables low cost MPU/MCU as system host using I2C and SPI interfaces

 Power mode control allows chip to be put in power down, sleep and standby states

 Supports host interface I/O voltage from 1.8V to 3.3V

 Standard serial interface to host MPU/MCU with SPI up to 30MHz or I²C clocking up to 3.4MHz

 Internal voltage regulator supplies 1.2V to the digital core

 -40°C to 85°C extended operating temperature range

 Available in a compact Pb-free, VQFN-48, 7mm X 7mm X 0.9mm package, RoHS compliant
