TFP401 HDMI/DVI Decoder to 40-Pin TTL Breakout - With Touch

Description

This is a mini HDMI decoding board! So small and simple, you can use this board as an all-in-one display driver for TTL displays, or perhaps HDMI / DVI video decoding for some other project. This breakout features the TFP401 for video decoding, and for the touch version, an AR1100 USB resistive touch screen driver. The TFP401 is a DVI / HDMI decoder. It can take clear video and raw 24-bit pixel color data - HDCP not supported! It will decode any resolution from 25-165MHz pixel clock, practically up to 1080p. We used this breakout with 800x480 displays, so we haven't specifically tested with higher resolutions. We added some support circuitry such as a backlight driver and configured it to run basic TTL display panels. You can also power the display and decoder from a USB port. For example, with an "" 800x480 display at 5 and 50mA backlight current, the total current draw is 500mA. You can reduce it down to 370mA by running the backlight at half brightness (25mA). If you want more control of the backlight, there is a PWM input, connect that to your microcontroller or other PWM output and you can continuously dim the backlight intensity as desired. We have two versions, one is just video and one is video + touch. This is the version with touch! Pair with a screen that has a resistive overlay touch. The USB port then acts as power and data, with the touch screen appearing as a USB mouse. This driver is designed specifically as a small and easy to use driver with video for our 40-pin TTL screens. In particular, we recommend it for use with single board computers (or desktop / laptop!) With DVI / HDMI output such as the Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone black. You can power the driver via USB and then feed it the video via the HDMI port. It is able to drive our 4.3 "" or 5.0 "" displays, but we only recommend l "" 800x480 "". We ship this board with an 800x480 EDID resolution so it will be automatically detected at that resolution. For advanced users, the EDID can be reprogrammed with our example Arduino code. Or, for computers using Linux, you can always just force the resolution to any connected screen. This is just a decoder breakout, the display is not included! Please read the detailed tutorial carefully on how to adjust the backlight brightness. We also have information on how to change the EDID if you want to use other screen resolutions.
