2.10
The IR data rate of the MCP2140 is fixed at 9.6 kbaud.
The actual throughput will be less due to several fac-
tors. 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. A throughput example is shown in
Figure 2-9 shows the CTS waveform, what the state of
the buffers can be and the operation of the Host UART
and IR interfaces.
Figure 2-10 shows the screen-capture of a Host Con-
troller transmitting 240 bytes. Data is not transmitted
after CTS goes high (so only a maximum of 23 bytes of
the 29 byte buffer are utilized). Between data packets,
the CTS time can vary, depending on the Primary
Device (see blue circled CTS pulse in Figure 2-10).

IrDA throughput is based on many factors
associated with characteristics of the Pri-
mary and Secondary devices. These char-
acteristics may cause your throughput to
be more or less than is shown in Table 2-4.
