TXD2 and RXD2 pins or optional IRTX and
IRRX pins. These can be selected through the
configuration registers.
IrDA allows serial communication at baud rates
up to 115.2 Kbps. Each word is sent serially
beginning with a zero value start bit. A zero is
signaled by sending a single IR pulse at the
beginning of the serial bit time.

of the ASK-IR waveform.
If the Half Duplex option is chosen, there is a
time-out when the direction of the transmission
is changed. This time-out starts at the last bit
transferred during a transmission and blocks the
receiver input until the timeout expires. If the
transmit buffer is loaded with more data before
the time-out expires, the timer is restarted after
the new byte is transmitted. If data is loaded
into the transmit buffer while a character is
being received, the transmission will not start
until the time-out expires after the last receive
bit has been received. If the start bit of another
character is received during this time-out, the
timer is restarted after the new character is
received. The IR half duplex time-out is
programmable via CRF2 in Logical Device 5.
