IrDA Board

Product Code: MIKROE-70

IC/Module: MCP2155 IrDA DriverThe MCP2155 circuit integrated on the IrDA Board is used to convert data received from the transceiver module and send it to the microcontroller for further processing. It is a cost-effective, low pin out device operates in Data Communication Equipment (DCE) applications. The MCP2155 works by encoding an asynchronous serial datastream, converting each data bit to the corresponding infrared (IR) formatted pulse. IR pulses that are received are decoded, and then handled by the protocol handler state machine. The protocol handler will then send the appropriate data bytes to the host controller in UART formatted serial data.
