ELI products are true modular embedded display solutions that require no engineering or lead-time. All ELI products are compatible with a wide range of single board computers including Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black and Windows-based units. FDI designed ELI as an embedded display option that requires minimal development time to help customers reach production quickly. Once a product is in production, FDI’s 10-15 year ELI product availability guarantee helps ensure production schedules without the risk of expensive or time consuming redesigns. Learn more about ELI at TeamFDI.com/ELI. ELI Compatibility ELI products are compatible with most single board computers, PCs and operating systems. The table below illustrates the results of FDI’s compatibility tests with popular operating systems and platforms. Our results, as indicated in the table, demonstrate ELI’s versatility but the table is not exhaustive. ELI products are designed to work with any single board computer that has an HDMI or DVI output. To submit a question about ELI’s compatibility with a platform or operating system that is not included in the table, contact a member of the FDI support team at Support@teamfdi.com. Figure 1.

ELI43-CP units from Rev 3.0 and greater are also capable of operation from a range of +5 to 24V DC (+/- 5%) • • USB Type A to Mini Type B Cable (For touch) HDMI Cable (Type A Male) 4.0 ESD Warning Figure 2. Electrostatic Sensitive Device Our ELI units are shipped in a protective anti-static package. Do not subject the module to high electrostatic potentials. Exposure to high electrostatic potentials may cause damage to the boards that will not be covered under warranty. General practice for working with static sensitive devices should be followed when working with this device. 5.0 Determining the Revision of your ELI All ELI units have a label on the board to identify the part number and revision. An example of an ELI label is shown below. ELI Part Number 02/13/17 ELI Revision Number Copyright ©2017, Future Designs, Inc.

ELI43-CP Connectors 8.0 Power Details A 12VDC (+/- 5%) power supply with a 2.0A output will power any board from the ELI Family. This allows a common, off-the-shelf power supply such as the T1071-P5P-ND to be used for quick demos or prototyping across the entire ELI Family. In general, any power supply with a 2.1mm center positive plug that provides 12VDC will be acceptable if it can provide enough current to power the particular ELI unit being used. On the ELI43-CP, plug power into the (P2) connector. Revision ≥3.0 adds the ability to use power supplies ranging from +5 to 24V DC ± 5% (2.0A) with ELI43-CP boards. For volume production applications, the input power can be optimized for your particular ELI unit and lower capacity power supplies can be used. In cases where the barrel connector is not desired, you can use the alternate power input connector (J8) with supports directly plugging in 20-26 AWG wire with maximum 5A current per contact. The datasheet for this J8 connector (PCB terminal block - PTSM 0,5/ 2-2,5-H SMD WH R24 – 1814634) can be found at http://tinyurl.com/1814634. 02/13/17 Copyright ©2017, Future Designs, Inc. Page 7 of 12 ELI43-CP User’s Manual To verify that the ELI43-CP unit is correctly powered you may check the 12VDC input with a Fluke meter or scope by probing the +12V and GND contacts, shown below. Please verify that the +12VDC is present, is within the +/- 5% tolerance and is free from excessive noise or AC ripple. Note: If using an input that is within the acceptable range of Rev 3.0 ELI43-CP boards, +5VDC to +24VDC (+/- 5%), please keep in mind that the 12V Test points should be at the voltage of your chosen power supply (5-24VDC). Figure 4. ELI43-CP Power Test Points 9.0 Extended Display Information Data (EDID) ELI uses Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) for automatic configuration with many operating systems.

PWM Backlight Control All ELI products are designed to reduce power consumption when required. To reduce the power consumption of the backlight/ELI, the user can connect an externally generated Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal to pin 2 of J5. This signal must be between 5KHz and 100KHz. On the ELI side we softly pull the PWM diming signal to LCD_VDD providing 100% backlight power when no PWM signal is applied at J5. In the ELI43-CR and ELI43-CP, power consumption can be controlled from 1.27W to 0.43W with the PWM signal. If the external system is capable of providing the PWM diming signal at 3.3V DC, there is no need to connect pin 1 to the cable. ELI provides this signal when the external system needs this voltage to generate the PWM diming signal. 02/13/17 Copyright ©2017, Future Designs, Inc.

This practice meets ESD requirements. Figure 6. Front View with Measurements 02/13/17 Copyright ©2017, Future Designs, Inc. Page 10 of 12 ELI43-CP User’s Manual Figure 7.
