                This product is end-of-life and has been replaced with the CFA240400E1-030TC.          
240x400 Touchscreen EVE SPI TFTPart Number: CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-1
    This EVETFT Development Kit is a 3-inch, 240x400 Full-Color TFT with the EVE graphic accelerator and capacitive touchscreen. Simply plug in your controller of choice. the EVE engine uses 4-wire SPI for communication via a 30-pin FPC/ZIF connection.

This kit is based around an FTDI/BridgeTek FT811 Embedded Video Engine (EVE). All display, touch sensing, backlight control and audio features are controlled via the Embedded Video Engine which appears to the host MCU as a memory-mapped SPI device. The host MCU sends commands and data using SPI.

Need a breakout board? The EVE Breakout Board breaks out the zif connector to 0.1" headers for easy development. We also carry a 6-inch 30-pin FPC cable and a 12-inch 30-pin FPC cable.

For more info about the Embedded Video Engine, please see the FTDI FT81x Datasheet.

End-Of-Life #11130: End-Of-Life Notification

Products Affected:	CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-1, CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-2, CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-2, CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-1
Date Issued:	June 9, 2022
Summary:	End-Of-Life Notification
Description:	Some modifications are being made to the PCB design to improve reliability and manufacturability. The board cutout for the capacitive touch screen is being moved and the reset line to the EVE chip is being routed to the reset pin for the helper processor onboard. The parts are being replaced as follows: CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-1 -> EOL and replace with CFA240400E1-030TC CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-2 -> EOL and replace with CFA240400E1-030TC-KIT CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-1 -> EOL and replace with CFA240400E1-030TN CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-2 -> EOL and replace with CFA240400E1-030TN-KIT
Reason:	The current PCB design requires the capacitive touch screen FPC tail to be stretched and needs to be given more slack. The reset line is not brought out to the helper processor on the current PCB revision so a reset toggle does not truly reset the whole system. Current PCB revision: 10097 h0v3
Availability:	Contact Crystalfontz Support for up-to-date information by emailing support@crystalfontz.com.

Part Change Notice #11080: Firmware Change

Products Affected:	CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-1, CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-2, CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-2, CFAF240400E0-030TN-A1-1
Date Issued:	March 15, 2021
Summary:	Firmware Change
Description:	The firmware is being updated to better manage the power down sequence.
Reason:	If the power down was very short, it could cause the microcontroller to go into a weird state resulting in abnormal display operation.
Availability:	Will be available in the next couple of weeks. We will release a notice when the cutover occurs.

Part Change Notice #11051: The controller chip used on the CFAF240400C0-030SC has been discontinued. The parts will be replaced by a CFAF240400C1-030SC

Products Affected:	CFAF240400C0-030SC, CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-1, CFAF240400C0-030SC-A1-2
Date Issued:	September 18, 2019
Summary:	The controller chip used on the CFAF240400C0-030SC has been discontinued. The parts will be replaced by a CFAF240400C1-030SC
Impact:	Physically, this will be a drop-in replacement. Changes will have to be made to initialization code.
Recommendation:	Sample code for the CFAF240400C1-030SC will be available in the fourth quarter of 2019. Sample CFAF240400C1-030SC parts will be available for purchase at that time The CFAF240400C0-030SC is not recommended for new designs
Availability:	The CFAF240400C1-030SC will be available when current stocks of the CFAF240400C0-030SC are depleted
Price Change:	TBD
