800x480 Capacitive Touchscreen EVE TFT Module

Part Number: CFAF800480E1-050SC-A2

If you're looking for a powerful display module, you've come to the right place. This 5" display has extremely wide viewing angles, is sunlight-readable, and supports 5-point capacitive touch. Not only is the TFT display wonderful, it is powered by the BT817 EVE chip. The EVE chip enables exceptional graphics control, backlight control, touch sensing, and audio - all mapped as SPI devices making communications with this module a breeze.

This module comprises the 5" TFT display (CFAF800480E1-050SC), mounted on an EVE accelerator PCB (CFA10100).

This module replaces the CFAF800480E1-050SC-A1-1, per PCN #11076. The change is to the CFA10100 board, upgrading from the FT813 EVE chip to the BT817.

Key Features:
  • 5" Diagonal Display Area
  • Sunlight Readable - 800nits
  • Free Viewing Angle (IPS)
  • TFT
  • Capacitive Touch
  • 16 million colors
  • Bridgetek's BT817 EVE
  • 4-wire SPI / Quad SPI
  • Can be powered off of a single voltage source
EVE Graphics Accelerator Features
  • Support multiple widgets for simplified design implementation
  • User interface design software (PC) simplifies the design process
  • Hardware engine can recognize touch tags and track touch movement
  • Enhanced sketch processing
  • Anti-aliasing of primitive displayed objects for higher-quality graphics
  • Assorted graphical effects such as alpha-blending, shadows, transitions, wipes, etc.
  • Programmable interrupt controller provides interrupts to host MCU
  • Support playback of motion-JPEG encoded AVI videos
  • Mono audio channel output with wave playback and built-in sound synthesizer
  • PWM output for display backlight dimming control

End-Of-Life #11178: PCB Change

Products Affected: CFAF800480E1-050SN-A2-2, CFAF800480E1-050SN-A2, CFAF800480E1-050SR-A2-2, CFAF800480E1-050SR-A2, CFAF800480E1-050SC-A2, CFAF800480E1-050SC-A2-2, CFAF800480E2-050SC-A2, CFAF800480E2-050SC-A2-2
Date Issued: March 2, 2023
Summary: PCB Change
Description: The PCB is changing due to a critical component going EOL. The new PCB design will not affect the functionality of the product and it will continue to use the same BT817Q graphical processor. Additional hardware features are added to the new design including land patterns for an ESP32 or XIAO to remove the need for an external processor to drive the EVE4 chip.

The part numbers will be updated as follows to reflect this change.
CFAF800480E1-050SC-A2 -> CFA800480E3-050SC
CFAF800480E1-050SC-A2-2 -> CFA800480E3-050SC-KIT
CFAF800480E1-050SN-A2 -> CFA800480E3-050SN
CFAF800480E1-050SN-A2-2 -> CFA800480E3-050SN-KIT
CFAF800480E1-050SR-A2 -> CFA800480E3-050SR
CFAF800480E1-050SR-A2-2 -> CFA800480E3-050SR-KIT
CFAF800480E2-050SC-A2 -> CFA800480E3-050SW
CFAF800480E2-050SC-A2-2 -> CFA800480E3-050SW-KIT
Reason: The helper processor on this display has gone EOL and needed to be replaced.
