DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device specific information for
the following device:
• MCP2150
The MCP2150 is a cost effective, low pin count (18-pin),
easy to use device for implementing IrDA standard wireless connectivity. The MCP2150 provides support for
the IrDA standard protocol “stack” plus bit encoding/
decoding.
The serial interface baud rates are user selectable to
one of four IrDA standard baud rates between 9600
baud and 115.2 kbaud (9600, 19200, 57600, 115200).
The IR baud rates are user selectable to one of five
IrDA standard baud rates between 9600 baud and
115.2 kbaud (9600, 19200, 37400, 57600, 115200).
The serial interface baud rate will be specified by the
BAUD1:BAUD0 pins, while the IR baud rate is specified
by the Primary Device (during Discover phase). This
means that the baud rates do not need to be the same.
The MCP2150 operates in Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE) applications and sits between a UART and an
infrared optical transceiver.
 2001-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
The MCP2150 encodes an asynchronous serial data
stream, converting each data bit to the corresponding
infrared (IR) formatted pulse. IR pulses received are
decoded and then handled by the protocol handler
state machine. The protocol handler sends the appropriate data bytes to the Host Controller in UART
formatted serial data.
The MCP2150 supports “point-to-point” applications.
That is, one Primary device and one Secondary device.
The MCP2150 operates as a Secondary device. It does
not support “multi-point” applications.
Sending data using IR light requires some hardware
and the use of specialized communication protocols.
These protocol and hardware requirements are
described, in detail, by the IrDA standard specifications. The encoding/decoding functionality of the
MCP2150 is designed to be compatible with the physical layer component of the IrDA standard. This part of
the standard is often referred to as “IrPHY”.
The complete IrDA standard specifications are available for download from the IrDA website
(www.IrDA.org).

Infrared communication is a wireless two-way data
connection, using infrared light generated by low-cost
transceiver signaling technology. This provides reliable
communication between two devices.
Infrared technology offers:
• Universal standard for connecting portable
computing devices
• Easy, effortless implementation
• Economical alternative to other connectivity
solutions
• Reliable, high-speed connection
• Safe to use in any environment (can even be
used during air travel)
• Eliminates the hassle of cables
• Allows PCs and other electronic devices (such as
PDAs, cell phones, etc.) to communicate with
each other
• Enhances mobility by allowing users to easily
connect
The MCP2150 allows the easy addition of IrDA standard wireless connectivity to any embedded application that uses serial data. Figure 1-1 shows typical
implementation of the MCP2150 in an embedded
system.
The IrDA protocols for printer support are not included
in the IrCOMM 9-wire “cooked” service class.

DEVICE OPERATION
TABLE 2-1:
The MCP2150 is a cost effective, low pin count (18pin), easy to use device for implementing IrDA standard wireless connectivity. The MCP2150 provides
support for the IrDA standard protocol “stack” plus bit
encoding/decoding. The Serial interface and IR baud
rates are independantly selectable.
2.1
Power Up
Any time the device is powered up (parameter D003),
the Power Up Timer delay (parameter 33) occurs, followed by an Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) delay
(parameter 32). Once these delays complete, communication with the device may be initiated. This communication is from both the infrared transceiver’s side as
well as the controller’s UART interface.
2.2
Device Reset
The MCP2150 is forced into the reset state when the
RESET pin is in the low state. Once the RESET pin is
brought to a high state, the Device Reset sequence
occurs. Once the sequence completes, functional
operation begins.
2.3
Clock Source
The MCP2150 requires a clock source to operate. The
frequency of this clock is 11.0592 MHz (electrical specification parameter 1A). This clock can be supplied by
either a crystal/resonator or as an external clock input.
2.3.1
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR / CERAMIC
RESONATORS
A crystal or ceramic resonator can be connected to the
OSC1 and OSC2 pins to establish oscillation
(Figure 2-1). The MCP2150 oscillator design requires
the use of a parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may give a frequency outside of the crystal
manufacturers specifications.
FIGURE 2-1:

OSC2 (C2)

Higher capacitance increases the stability of the oscillator but also increases the start-up time. These values are for design guidance only. Since each
resonator has its own characteristics, the user should
consult the resonator manufacturer for appropriate
values of external components.

Higher capacitance increases the stability of the oscillator but also increases the start-up time. These values are for design guidance only. RS may be required
to avoid overdriving crystals with low drive level specification. Since each crystal has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the crystal
manufacturer for appropriate values of external
components.
2.3.2
EXTERNAL CLOCK IN
For applications where a clock is already available
elsewhere, users may directly drive the MCP2150 provided that this external clock source meets the AC/DC
timing requirements listed in Section 4.3. Figure 2-2
shows how an external clock circuit should be
configured.

Bit Clock
2.5
UART Interface
The device crystal is used to derive the communication
bit clock (BITCLK). There are 16 BITCLKs for each bit
time. The BITCLKs are used for the generation of the
start bit and the eight data bits. The stop bit uses the
BITCLK when the data is transmitted (not for
reception).
The UART interface communicates with the "controller". This interface is a half duplex interface, meaning
that the system is either transmitting or receiving, but
not both simultaneously.
This clock is a fixed frequency and has minimal
variation in frequency (specified by crystal
manufacturer).
The baud rate for the MCP2150 serial port (the TX and
RX pins) is configured by the state of the BAUD1 and
BAUD0 pins. These two device pins are used to select
the baud rate at which the MCP2150 will transmit and
receive serial data (not IR data). Table 2-3 shows the
baud rate configurations.

When the controller sends serial data to the MCP2150,
the controller’s baud rate is required to match the baud
rate of the MCP2150’s serial port.
2.5.3
RECEIVING
When the controller receives serial data from the
MCP2150, the controller’s baud rate is required to
match the baud rate of the MCP2150’s serial port.

2.6
Modulation
2.7
The data that the MCP2150 UART received (on the TX
pin) that needs to be transmitted (on the TXIR pin) will
need to be modulated. This modulated signal drives the
IR transceiver module. Figure 2-3 shows the encoding
of the modulated signal.
Note:
The signal on the TXIR pin does not actually line up in time with the bit value that
was transmitted on the TX pin, as shown in
Figure 2-3. The TX bit value is shown to
represent the value to be transmitted on
the TXIR pin.
Note:
Each bit time is comprised of 16-bit clocks. If the value
to be transmitted (as determined by the TX pin) is a
logic low, then the TXIR pin will output a low level for
7-bit clock cycles, a logic high level for 3-bit clock
cycles or a minimum of 1.6 µsec. (see parameter
IR121). The remaining 6-bit clock cycles will be low. If
the value to transmit is a logic high, then the TXIR pin
will output a low level for the entire 16-bit clock cycles.
FIGURE 2-3:
Demodulation
The modulated signal (data) from the IR transceiver
module (on RXIR pin) needs to be demodulated to form
the received data (on RX pin). Once demodulation of
the data byte occurs, the data that is received is transmitted by the MCP2150 UART (on the RX pin).
Figure 2-4 shows the decoding of the modulated
signal.
The signal on the RX pin does not actually
line up in time with the bit value that was
received on the RXIR pin, as shown in
Figure 2-4. The RXIR bit value is shown to
represent the value to be transmitted on
the RX pin.
Each bit time is comprised of 16-bit clocks. If the value
to be received is a logic low, then the RXIR pin will be
a low level for the first 3-bit clock cycles or a minimum
of 1.6 µs. The remaining 13-bit clock cycles (or difference up to the 16-bit clock time) will be high. If the value
to be received is a logic high, then the RXIR pin will be
a high level for the entire 16-bit clock cycles. The level
on the RX pin will be in the appropriate state for the
entire 16 clock cycles.

2.9.1.2
IrLAP
The MCP2150 supports the IrLAP protocol. The IrLAP
protocol provides:
• Management of communication processes on the
link between devices.
• A device-to-device connection for the reliable,
ordered transfer of data.
• Device discover procedures.
• Hidden node handling.
Figure 2-7 identifies the key parts and hierarchy of the
IrDA protocols. The bottom layer is the Physical layer,
IrPHY. This is the part that converts the serial data to
and from pulses of IR light. IR transceivers can’t transmit and receive at the same time. The receiver has to
wait for the transmitter to finish sending. This is sometimes referred to as a “Half-Duplex” connection. The IR
Link Access Protocol (IrLAP) provides the structure for
packets (or “frames”) of data to emulate data that would
normally be free to stream back and forth.
FIGURE 2-7:
IRDA STANDARD
PROTOCOL LAYERS
Figure 2-8 shows how the IrLAP frame is organized.
The frame is proceeded by some number of Beginning
of Frame characters (BOFs). The value of the BOF is
generally 0xC0, but 0xFF may be used if the last BOF
character is a 0xC0. The purpose of multiple BOFs is to
give the other station some warning that a frame is
coming.
The IrLAP frame begins with an address byte (“A”
field), then a control byte (“C” field). The control byte is
used to differentiate between different types of frames
and is also used to count frames. Frames can carry status, data or commands. The IrLAP protocol has a command syntax of it’s own. These commands are part of
the control byte. Lastly, IrLAP frames carry data. This
data is the information (or “I”) field. The integrity of the
frame is ensured with a 16-bit CRC, referred to as the
Frame Check Sequence (FCS). The 16-bit CRC value
is transmitted LSB first. The end of the frame is marked
with an EOF character, which is always a 0xC1. The
frame structure described here is used for all versions
of IrDA protocols used for serial wire replacement for
speeds up to 115.2 kbaud.

general usage is IR Object Exchange
(IrOBEX). This standard is not used for

In addition to defining the frame structure, IrLAP provides the “housekeeping” functions of opening, closing
and maintaining connections. The critical parameters
that determine the performance of the link are part of
this function. These parameters control how many
BOFs are used, identify the speed of the link, how fast
either party may change from receiving to transmitting,
etc. IrLAP has the responsibility of negotiating these
parameters to the highest common set so that both
sides can communicate as quickly, and as reliably, as
possible.

2.9.1.3
IrLMP
2.9.1.4
The MCP2150 implements the IrLMP protocol. The
IrLMP protocol provides:
• Multiplexing of the IrLAP layer. This allows multiple channels above an IrLAP connection.
• Protocol and service discovery. This is via the
Information Access Service (IAS).
When two devices that contain the IrDA standard feature are connected, there is generally one device that
has something to do and the other device that has the
resource to do it. For example, a laptop may have a job
to print and an IrDA standard compatible printer has the
resources to print it. In IrDA standard terminology, the
laptop is a Primary device and the printer is the Secondary device. When these two devices connect, the
Primary device must determine the capablities of the
Secondary device to determine if the Secondary device
is capable of doing the job. This determination is made
by the Primary device asking the Secondary device a
series of questions. Depending on the answers to
these questions, the Primary device may or may not
elect to connect to the Secondary device.
The queries from the Primary device are carried to the
Secondary device using IrLMP. The responses to these
queries can be found in the Information Access Service
(IAS) of the Secondary device. The IAS is a list of the
resources of the Secondary device. The Primary
device compares the IAS responses with its requirements and then makes the decision if a connection
should be made.
Link Management - Information
Access Service (LM-IAS)
The MCP2150 implements the LM-IAS. Each LM-IAS
entity maintains an information database to provide:
• Information on services for other devices that
contain the IrDA standard feature (Discovery).
• Information on services for the device itself.
• Remote accessing of another device’s information
base.
This is required so that clients on a remote device can
find configuration information needed to access a
service.
2.9.1.5
Tiny TP
Tiny TP provides the flow control on IrLMP connections. An optional service of Segmentation and
Reassembly can be handled.
2.9.1.6
IrCOMM
IrCOMM provides the method to support serial and parallel port emulation. This is useful for legacy COM
applications, such as printers and modem devices.
The IrCOMM standard is just a syntax that allows the
Primary device to consider the Secondary device as a
serial device. IrCOMM allows for emulation of serial or
parallel (printer) connections of various capabilities.
The MCP2150 supports the 9-wire “cooked” service
class of IrCOMM. Other service classes supported by
IrCOMM are shown in Figure 2-9.
The MCP2150 identifies itself to the Primary device as
a modem.
Note:
The MCP2150 identifies itself as a modem
to ensure that it is identified as a serial
device with a limited amount of memory.
The MCP2150 is not a modem, and the non-data circuits are not handled in a modem fashion.

2.9.3
HOW DEVICES CONNECT
When two devices implementing the IrDA standard feature establish a connection using the IrCOMM protocol,
the process is analogous to connecting two devices
with serial ports using a cable. This is referred to as a
"point-to-point" connection. This connection is limited
to half-duplex operation because the IR transceiver
cannot transmit and receive at the same time. The purpose of the IrDA protocol is to allow this half-duplex link
to emulate, as much as possible, a full-duplex connection. In general, this is done by dividing the data into
“packets”, or groups of data. These packets can then
be sent back and forth, when needed, without risk of
collision. The rules of how and when these packets are
sent constitute the IrDA protocols. The MCP2150 supports elements of this IrDA protocol to communicate
with other IrDA standard compatible devices.
When a wired connection is used, the assumption is
made that both sides have the same communications
parameters and features. A wired connection has no
need to identify the other connector because it is
assumed that the connectors are properly connected.
In the IrDA standard, a connection process has been
defined to identify other IrDA compatible devices and
establish a communication link. There are three steps
that these two devices go through to make this
connection. They are:
• Normal Disconnect Mode (NDM)
• Discovery Mode
• Normal Connect Mode (NCM)
ital Assistant (PDA), the PDA that supports the IrDA
standard feature would be the Primary device and the
cellphone would be the Secondary device.
When a Primary device polls for another device, a
nearby Secondary device may respond. When a Secondary device responds, the two devices are defined to
be in the Normal Disconnect Mode (NDM) state. NDM
is established by the Primary device broadcasting a
packet and waiting for a response. These broadcast
packets are numbered. Usually 6 or 8 packets are sent.
The first packet is number 0, the last packet is usually
number 5 or 7. Once all the packets are sent, the Primary device sends an ID packet, which is not numbered.
The Secondary device waits for these packets and then
responds to one of the packets. The packet it responds
to determines the “time slot” to be used by the Secondary device. For example, if the Secondary device
responds after packet number 2, then the Secondary
device will use time slot 2. If the Secondary device
responds after packet number 0, then the Secondary
device will use time slot 0. This mechanism allows the
Primary device to recognize as many nearby devices
as there are time slots. The Primary device will continue to generate time slots and the Secondary device
should continue to respond, even if there’s nothing to
do.
Note 1: The MCP2150 can only be used to
implement a Secondary device.
2: The MCP2150 supports a system with
only one Secondary device having exclusive use of the IrDA standard infrared link
(known as "point-to-point" communication).
Figure 2-10 shows the connection sequence.
2.9.3.1
Normal Disconnect Mode (NDM)
When two IrDA standard compatible devices come into
range they must first recognize each other. The basis
of this process is that one device has some task to
accomplish and the other device has a resource
needed to accomplish this task. One device is referred
to as a Primary device and the other is referred to as a
Secondary device. This distinction between Primary
device and Secondary device is important. It is the
responsibility of the Primary device to provide the
mechanism to recognize other devices. So the Primary
device must first poll for nearby IrDA standard compatible devices. During this polling, the defaut baud rate of
9600 baud is used by both devices.
For example, if you want to print from an IrDA
equipped laptop to an IrDA printer, utilizing the IrDA
standard feature, you would first bring your laptop in
range of the printer. In this case, the laptop is the one
that has something to do and the printer has the
resource to do it. The laptop is called the Primary
device and the printer is the Secondary device. Some
data-capable cellphones have IrDA standard infrared
ports. If you used such a cellphone with a Personal Dig-
 2001-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
3: The MCP2150 always responds to packet
number 2. This means that the MCP2150
will always use time slot 2.
4: If another Secondary device is nearby,
the Primary device may fail to recognize
the MCP2150, or the Primary device may
not recognize either of the devices.
During NDM, the MCP2150 handles all of the
responses to the Primary device (Figure 2-10) without
any communication with the Host Controller. The Host
Controller is inhibited by the CTS signal of the
MCP2150 from sending data to the MCP2150.

2.9.3.2
Discovery Mode
2.9.3.3
Discovery mode allows the Primary device to determine the capabilities of the MCP2150 (Secondary
device). Discovery mode is entered once the MCP2150
(Secondary device) has sent an XID response to the
Primary device and the Primary device has completed
sending the XIDs and then sends a Broadcast ID. If this
sequence is not completed, then a Primary and
Secondary device can stay in NDM indefinitely.
When the Primary device has something to do, it
initiates Discovery. Discovery has two parts. They are:
• Link initialization
• Resource determination
The first step is for the Primary and Secondary devices
to determine, and then adjust to, each other’s hardware
capabilities. These capabilities are parameters like:
•
•
•
•
Data rate
Turn around time
Number of packets without a response
How long to wait before disconnecting
Both the Primary and Secondary device begin communications at 9600 baud, which is the default baud rate.
The Primary device sends its parameters, then the
Secondary device responds with its parameters. For
example, if the Primary supports all data rates up to
115.2 kbaud and the Secondary device only supports
19.2 kbaud, the link will be established at 19.2 kbaud.
Note:
The MCP2150 is limited to a data rate of
115.2 kbaud.
Once the hardware parameters are established, the
Primary device must determine if the Secondary device
has the resources it requires. If the Primary device has
a job to print, then it must know if it’s talking to a printer,
not a modem or other device. This determination is
made using the Information Access Service (IAS). The
job of the Secondary device is to respond to IAS queries made by the Primary device. The Primary device
must ask a series of questions like:
Normal Connect Mode (NCM)
Once discovery has been completed, the Primary
device and MCP2150 (Secondary device) can freely
exchange data.
The MCP2150 can receive IR data or serial data, but
not both simultaneously. The MCP2150 uses a hardware handshake to stop the local serial port from
sending data while the MCP2150 is receiving IR data.
Note:
Data loss will result if this hardware
handshake is not observed.
Both the Primary device and the MCP2150 (Secondary
device) check to make sure that data packets are
received by the other without errors. Even when data is
required to be sent, the Primary and Secondary
devices will still exchange packets to ensure that the
connection hasn’t, unexpectedly, been dropped. When
the Primary device has finished, it then transmits the
close link command to the MCP2150 (Secondary
device). The MCP2150 will confirm the close link command and both the Primary device and the MCP2150
(Secondary device) will revert to the NDM state.
Note:
If the NCM mode is unexpectedly terminated for any reason (including the Primary
device not issuing a close link command),
the MCP2150 will revert to the NDM state
10 seconds after the last frame has been
received.
It is the responsability of the Host Controller program to
understand the meaning of the data received and how
the program should respond to it. It’s just as if the data
were being received by the Host Controller from a
UART.
• What is the name of your service?
• What is the address of this service?
• What are the capabilities of this device?
When all the Primary device’s questions are answered,
the Primary device can access the service provided by
the Secondary device.
During Discovery mode, the MCP2150 handles all
responses to the Primary device (see Figure 2-10)
without any communication with the Host Controller.
The Host Controller is inhibited by the CTS signal of the
MCP2150 from sending data to the MCP2150.

MCP2150
2.10
Operation
2.10.2
The maximum IR data rate of the MCP2150 is
115.2 kbaud. The actual throughput will be less, due to
several factors. The most significant factors are under
the control of the developer. One factor beyond the
control of the designer is the overhead associated with
the IrDA standard. The MCP2150 uses a fixed data
block size of 64 bytes. To carry 64 bytes of data, the
MCP2150 must send 72 bytes (64+8). The additional 8
bytes are used by the protocol. When the Primary
device receives the frame, it must wait for a minimum
latency period before sending a packet of its own. This
turnaround time is set by IrLAP when the parameters of
the link are negotiated. A common turnaround time is
1 ms, although longer and shorter times may be
encountered. 1 ms represents approximately 12 byte
times at a data rate of 115.2 kbaud. The minimum size
frame the Primary device can respond with is 6 bytes.
The MCP2150 will add the 12 byte-time latency on its
own, again assuming a 1 ms latency. This means that
the maximum throughput will be 64 data bytes out of a
total of 64 + 38 byte times. Thus, the maximum theoretical throughput will be limited to about 64/(64+38)=63%
of the IR data rate. Actual maximum throughput will be
dependent on both the MCP2150 and the
characteristics of the Primary device.
The MCP2150 emulates a null modem connection. The
application on the DTE device sees a virtual serial port.
This serial port emulation is provided by the IrDA standard protocols. The link between the DTE device and
the embedded application is made using the
MCP2150. The connection between the MCP2150 and
the embedded application is wired as if there were a
null modem connection.
The Carrier Detect (CD) signal of the MCP2150 is used
to indicate that a valid IrDA standard infrared link has
been established between the MCP2150 and the Primary device. The CD signal should be monitored
closely to make sure that any communication tasks can
be completed. The MCP2150 DSR signal indicates that
the device has powered-up, successfully initialized and
is ready for service. This signal is intended to be connected to the DSR input of the Host Controller. If the
Host Controller was directly connected to an IrDA standard Primary device using a serial cable (the MCP2150
is not present), the Host Controller would be connected
to the Primary device’s DTR output signal.
The MCP2150 generates the CTS signal locally
because of buffer limitations.
Note 1: The MCP2150
signals locally.
generates
non-data
The most significant factor in data throughput is how
well the data frames are filled. If only 1 byte is sent at a
time, then the maximum throughput is 1/(1+38)=2.5%
of the IR data rate. The best way to maximize throughput is to align the amounts of data with the packet size
of the MCP2150. Throughput examples are shown in
Table 2-4.
2: Only transceiver’s TXD and RXD signals
are carried back and forth to the Primary
device. The MCP2150 emulates a 3-wire
serial connection (TXD, RXD and GND).
2.10.1
HARDWARE HANDSHAKING
The MCP2150 uses a 64-byte buffer for incoming data
from the IR Host. Another 64-byte buffer is provided to
buffer data from the UART serial port. When an IR
packet begins the IrComm, the MCP2150 handles IR
data exclusively (the UART serial port buffer is not
available). A hardware handshaking pin (CTS) is provided to inhibit the Host Controller from sending serial
data while IR Data is being sent or received.
Note:
BUFFERS AND THROUGHPUT
Note:
IrDA throughput is based on many factors
associated with characteristics of the Primary and Secondary devices. These characteristics may cause your application
throughput to be less than the theoretical
example shown in Table 2-4.
When the CTS output from the IrComm is
high, no data should be sent from the Host
Controller. The UART FIFO will store up to
2 bytes. Any additional data bytes will be
lost.

Programmable Device ID
The MCP2150 has a flexible feature that allows the
MCP2150 Device ID to be changed by the Host Controller. The default ID is “Generic IrDA” and is stored in
non-volatile, electrically erasable programmable memory (EEPROM). The maximum ID String length is 19
bytes. The format of the ID EEPROM is shown in
Figure 2-11.

Once the MCP2150 is ready to receive data, the CTS
pin will be forced low. Data may now be transferred, following the format in Figure 2-11. The CTS pin determines the flow control and the Host Controller must
monitor this signal to ensure that the data byte may be
sent.
Once the Host Controller has sent its last byte, the DTR
pin must be set low. This ensures that, if another reset
occurs, the MCP2150 will not reenter ID String programming mode. The MCP2150 uses the String Length
(1st byte transmitted) to determine when the ID String
programming mode has completed. This returns the
MCP2150 to normal operation.
Note 1: If a non-valid ID String (containing an ASCII
character not in the valid range) is
programmed, the MCP2150 will not create
a link with a Primary device.
The ID String must only contain the ASCII characters
from 20h to 7Ah (inclusive).
2: The communication program supplied with
Microsoft’s Windows® operating system
(called HyperTerminal) may leave the DTR
signal high and the RTS signals low when
the program disconnects, or is closed. Care
should be taken to ensure that this does not
accidently cause the MCP2150 to enter
Device ID String Programming.
The MCP2150 enters into ID String programming when
it exits the reset state and detects that the DTR pin is
high and the RTS pin is low.
A Host Controller connected to the MCP2150 would,
typically, perform the following steps to place the
MCP2150 into ID String programming mode:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Force the MCP2150 into reset (RESET pin
forced low).
Force the DTR pin high and the RTS pin low.
Release the MCP2150 from reset (RESET pin
forced high).
Wait for device to complete initialization.
FIGURE 2-11:
After Device Reset *
* Until device initialization is complete.
The baud rate for the MCP2150 IR port (the TXIR and
RXIR pins) is, initially, at the default rate of 9600 baud.
The Primary device determines the maximum baud
rate that the MCP2150 will operate at. This information
is used during NDM, with the Primary device setting the
baud rate of the IR link. The maximum IR baud rate is
not required to be the same as the MCP2150’s serial
port (UART) baud rate (as determined by the
BAUD1:BAUD0 pins).

The optical transceiver logic can be implemented with
discrete components for cost savings. Care must be
taken in the design and layout of the photo detect circuit, due to the small signals that are being detected
and their sensitivity to noise. A discrete implementation
of the optical transceiver logic is implemented on the
DSTEMP and MCP2150 Developer’s Kit boards.
Note:
The discrete optical transceiver implementation on the DSTEMP and MCP2150
Developer’s Kit boards may not meet the
IrDA specifications for the physical layer
(IrPHY). Any discrete solution will require
appropriate validation for the user’s
application.

MCP2150
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
The MCP2150 is supported by the HCS1365 Developer’s Kit (order number DM163008). This kit allows
the user to evaluate the operation of the MCP2150.
Each kit comes with two DSTEMP Developer’s Boards
and one MCP2150 Developer’s Board to demonstrate
transmission/reception of infrared data streams.
Figure 3-1 shows a block diagram of the MCP2150
Developer’s Board.
As can be seen, the user has jumper options for both
the interface to the Host Controller (UART or Header)
and the transceiver solution (Integrated or discrete
component).
FIGURE 3-1:
The UART interface allows a direct connection to a PC
(use a terminal emulation program), or a header, to
allow easy connection to host prototypes (or one of the
Microchip PICDEM™ boards).
The transceiver logic is jumpered to allow the selection
of either a single chip transceiver solution, or a low cost
discrete solution. This low cost discrete solution allows
a lower system cost to be achieved. With the lower cost
come some trade-offs of the IrDA standard physical
layer specifications. These trade-offs need to be evaluated to ensure the characteristics of the component
solution meet the requirements of the system.
This kit comes with two identical MCP2120 Developer’s Boards and a single MCP2150 Developer’s
Board. This allows a complete system (Transmitter and
Receiver) to be implemented with either system
requirement (simple encoder/decoder or IrDA standard
protocol stack plus encoder/decoder).

b)
The test conditions for all IDD measurements are made when device is enabled (EN pin is high):
OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all input pins pulled to VSS, RXIR = VDD,
RESET = VDD;
When device is disabled (EN pin is low), the conditions for current measurements are the same.
4: When the device is disabled (EN pin is low), current is measured with all input pins tied to VDD or VSS and
the output pins driving a high or low level into infinite impedance.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
MICROCHIP MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WHETHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, RELATED TO THE INFORMATION,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ITS CONDITION,
QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR PURPOSE. Microchip disclaims all liability
arising from this information and its use. Use of Microchip
