DESCRIPTION
The UCC5341 IrDA (Infrared Data Association) Receiver supports the
analog section of the IrDA standard. It has a limiting transresistance
amplifier to detect a current signal from a PIN diode and drives RXX
pulses to a UART. The amplifier is capable of input currents ranging
from 200nA to greater than 50mA. The UCC5341 is bandpass limited to
reduce interference from other IR sources. The UCC5341 also has very
low current consumption in the active mode (250µA typically), making it
excellent for power sensitive applications.
The output of the receiver is designed to drive CMOS and TTL levels,
for direct interfacing to IrDA compliant UARTs and Super I/O devices.
Internal resistors are provided for decoupling the detector diode supply,
thus minimizing the number of external components required.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
AGND: Ground reference for analog circuits. Connect to
circuit board ground plane.
DGND: Ground pin for digital circuits. Connect to circuit
board ground plane.
AVDD: Supply pin for analog circuits. Bypass to AGND
with a 100nF or 1µF ceramic capacitor.
DVDD: Supply pin for digital circuits. Internally connected
to AVDD through a 2kΩ resistor. Bypass to DGND with a
100nF or 1µF ceramic capacitor.
CAT: Filtered Supply for PIN diode cathode. Internally
connected to AVDD through a 20Ω resistor. Bypass to
AGND with a 4.7µF capacitor plus a 100nF ceramic capacitor.
DET: Input to receiver amplifier. Connect to PIN diode
anode. Shield with AVDD and/or AGND from all other signals, especially RXX.
RXX: Output of the detect amplifier and buffer. Connect
to UART. Avoid coupling the RXX signed to DET.
SLEEP: Sleep mode select pin. A logic high on SLEEP
puts the chip into sleep mode, reducing IDD to 0.5µA
typical.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Ground Plane
There are 2 ground connections shown on the application drawing, representing the sensitive analog ground
and the ‘dirty’ digital ground. These 2 points can simply
be geographic groupings of connections to a ground
plane. If a ground plane is not used, other provision to
isolate the analog and digital ground currents should be
provided. The use of a ground plane is strongly recommended.
should be routed to minimize the parasitic capacitive
coupling from RXX to DET.
Analog Power Supply Decoupling
The UCC3541 has a highly sensitive amplifier section capable of detecting extremely low current levels (200nA
typical). Achieving this sensitivity requires quiet analog
power supply rails. A 100nF high frequency capacitor in
close proximity to AVDD and AGND is required for quiet
analog rails.
DET Considerations
Digital Power Supply
DET is flanked by AGND and CAT. This should be used
to good advantage by fully enclosing the DET circuit
board trace with AGND in order to shield leakage noise
from DET. The DET circuit board trace length should be
minimized. Since the PIN diode connected to DET is capacitive, noise coupling to the cathode of the diode will
be coupled directly to DET. For this reason, the 100nF
capacitor on CAT should be located physically close to
the cathode of the PIN diode.
DVDD is fed directly from AVDD through an internal 2k
resistor. The DVDD bypass capacitor handles all transient current produced by the digital section of the chip. If
more drive is required from RXX than the internal 2k resistor will allow, an external resistor can shunt it. This
should always be accompanied by increasing the value
of the decoupling capacitor on DVDD and AVDD.
There is natural parasitic coupling from RXX to DET. RXX
The diagram of the economy application shows only one
bypass capacitor. This application is suitable where maxi-
