XR16M2551
HIGH PERFORMANCE LOW VOLTAGE DUART WITH 16-BYTE FIFO AND POWERSAVE FEATURE
The M2551 UART includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data
Association) version 1.0. The IrDA 1.0 standard that stipulates the infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of a bit
wide HIGH-pulse for each “0” bit in the transmit data stream. This signal encoding reduces the on-time of the
infrared LED, hence reduces the power consumption. See
The infrared encoder and decoder are enabled by setting MCR register bit-6 to a ‘1’. When the infrared feature
is enabled, the transmit data output, TX, idles at logic zero level. Likewise, the RX input assumes an idle level
of logic zero from a reset and power up, see
Typically, the wireless infrared decoder receives the input pulse from the infrared sensing diode on the RX pin.
Each time it senses a light pulse, it returns a HIGH to the data bit stream. However, this is not true with some
infrared modules on the market which indicate a LOW by a light pulse. So the M2551 has a provision to invert
the input polarity to accommodate this. In this case user can enable MCR bit-2 to invert the input signal.
The M2551 supports low voltage system designs, hence, a sleep mode with auto wake-up and PowerSave
feature is included to reduce power consumption when the device is not actively used.
