## Description

A labelled breakout board for 40-pin dot-clock TFT displays with an integrated LED backlight driver. Breaks out all 40 FPC pins to breadboard-friendly through-hole pads and includes a FAN5333-based boost converter for driving backlight LED strings up to 24V. The backlight driver defaults to 25mA and can be increased by shorting the onboard jumpers. Supports LED strings of up to 7 LEDs in series. Designed for advanced makers using microprocessors with built-in dot-clock TFT support (such as STM32, i.MX, or similar). Key Features 40-Pin FPC Connector – Accepts standard 40-pin dot-clock TFT display cables Labelled Breakout Pads – All pins broken out and clearly marked for probing and wiring Integrated Backlight Driver – FAN5333 boost converter, adjustable current via jumpers Default 25mA Backlight – Suitable for 4.3″ displays; increase to 50mA for 5.0″ displays Up to 24V Boost – Drives LED strings of up to 7 LEDs in series Specifications FPC Connector – 40-pin Backlight Driver IC – FAN5333 Default Backlight Current – 25mA (adjustable via jumpers) Max Boost Voltage – 24V DC Ideal For Prototyping with 40-pin dot-clock TFT displays (4.3″, 5.0″, etc.) Breadboarding RGB TFT display connections Display driver development and testing Package Contents 1× 40-Pin TFT Friend Breakout Board (assembled and tested) Note: Header pins and TFT display are not included. This board requires a microprocessor with dot-clock TFT support — it is a wiring tool, not a display driver. Check your display's datasheet for LED string configuration before adjusting the backlight current jumpers.
