Communication ICs
IrDA infrared communication IC
(SIR / ASK compatible)
RPM-800CB Series
The RPM-800CB series is an infrared communication IC that is compatible with the IrDA1.0 and ASK communication
systems. The infrared LED, PIN photodiode, and modulator circuit are combined onto a single package, and connection
to a UART requires just three lines (transmit, receive, and control).
Applications
Cellular phones, pagers, PDA, PHS, notebook PCs, and printers
Features
1) Infrared emitting, receiver, and modulator / demodulator on the chip.
2) Switchable modes.
IrDA mode
ASK mode
Absolute maximum ratings (Ta = 25C)
Recommended operating conditions (Ta = 25C)

3) 2.4 to 115.2kbps communication rate.
4) Built-in powerdown mode
5) Power supply voltage input range 2.7 to 5.5V.

Application example
Operation notes
(1) Use a shield when there is a possibility of influence
due to electromagnetic noise.
(2) The baud rate is set to 9600bps after the power is applied, or the IC is reset.
(3) The setting in the baud rate register becomes effective when the LOAD bit of control register 2 is set to 1.
(4) Avoid using together with strong light sources.
(5) We recommend to use crystal oscillator.
