About ELI

FDI introduced ELI® as a solution to the common customer problems of adding LCD interface to computing platforms such as the BeagleBone Black, Raspberry Pi and other popular Single Board

Computers (SBC’s). ELI is designed, manufactured and tested here in the US, by FDI’s skilled production team, and every unit is fully supported by our US based team of engineers and technical specialists.

ELI Compatibility

ELI is designed to play nicely with most products and this list shows some of the more popular units that have been tested and confirmed to work with ELI.

ELI should also work with almost any SBC that has an HDMI or DVI output, so don’t fret if your unit isn’t shown on the list above. If you want to know for sure, just drop us an email at [email protected]

, and list the specific P/N or model for your SBC and our Product Support

Team will check it out and let you know.

 Power Details

User’s Manual

Let's talk more about the power requirements for this ELI unit. A 12 VDC + or - 5% power supply with a 2.0 A 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. However, for volume production applications, the input power can be optimized for your particular ELI unit. The ELI70-CR only requires 400 mA at 12 VDC + or - 5%.

For many uses, the barrel connector may be undesirable. In these cases you can use the included alternate power adapter using 20-26 AWG wire with maximum 5A current per contact. The datasheet for this connector can be found at http://tinyurl.com/1814634 .

 Extended Display Information Data (EDID)

ELI has fully working EDIDs for easier compatibility with many display adapters. You can find out more on our website at http://www.teamfdi.com/edid/ .

 Mechanical View

●   Tape used for the LCD to PCB Attachment: 3M VHB 4959 ½” width

●   4 screw holes on the ELI70-CR accept up to #8 size screws for mounting into an enclosure and connect to the system ground directly.

●   The exposed ground pads may be used to connect the ELI70-CR PCB directly to the LCD using copper or aluminum foil tape to help meet ESD requirements.
