The MCP2150 is supported by the MCP2120/
MCP2150 Developer’s Kit (order number DM163008).
This kit allows the user to evaluate the operation of the
MCP2150.
Each kit comes with two MCP2120 Developer’s Boards
and one MCP2150 Developer’s Board to demonstrate
transmission/reception of infrared data streams.

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).

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 evalu-
ated to ensure the characteristics of the component
solution meet the requirements of the system.
This kit comes with two identical MCP2120 Devel-
oper’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).
