## Description

The TFP401 breakout is a compact HDMI/DVI decoder that outputs raw 24-bit colour pixel data to 40-pin TTL displays. It decodes unencrypted video at any resolution from 25–165 MHz pixel clock (up to 1080p) and includes a built-in backlight driver with PWM dimming control. Designed for use with single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black, the board can be powered entirely over USB. It ships pre-configured with an 800 × 480 EDID for auto-detection at that resolution, and the EDID can be reprogrammed for other resolutions. Key Features TFP401 DVI/HDMI Decoder – Decodes unencrypted video up to 1080p (HDCP not supported) 40-Pin TTL Output – Drives compatible 5" and 7" displays (800 × 480 recommended) USB Powered – ~500 mA total draw with 5" display at full backlight PWM Backlight Control – Adjustable brightness via PWM input Pre-Programmed EDID – Ships set to 800 × 480; reprogrammable for other resolutions Compact Board – Small enough to fit inside enclosures Specifications Decoder: TI TFP401 Pixel Clock: 25–165 MHz Colour Depth: 24-bit Default Resolution: 800 × 480 Power: USB (250 mA decoder + display, up to 500 mA with backlight) Note: This is the video-only version (no touch).
