1.0
The MCP2140 is a cost-effective, low pin count (18-pin),
easy-to-use device for implementing IrDA standard
wireless connectivity. The MCP2140 provides support
for the IrDA standard protocol “stack”, bit encoding/
decoding and low cost, discrete IR receiver circuitry.
The serial and IR interface baud rates are fixed at
9600 baud. The serial interface and IR interface baud
rates are dependent on the device frequency, but IrDA
standard operation requires a device frequency of
7.3728 MHz.
The MCP2140 will specify to the Primary Device the IR
baud rate during the Discover phase.
The MCP2140 can operate in Data Communication
Equipment (DCE) and Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
applications, and sits between a UART and an infrared
optical transceiver.
The MCP2140 encodes an asynchronous serial data
stream, converting each data bit to the corresponding
infrared (IR) formatted pulse. IR pulses received are
decoded and then handled by the protocol handler
state machine. The protocol handler sends the appro-
priate data bytes to the Host Controller in UART-
formatted serial data.
The MCP2140 supports “point-to-point” applications,
that is, one Primary device and one Secondary device.
The MCP2140 operates as a Secondary device and
does not support “multi-point” applications.
Sending data using IR light requires some hardware
and the use of specialized communication protocols.
These protocol and hardware requirements are
described, in detail, by the IrDA standard specifications.
The encoding/decoding functionality of the MCP2140 is
designed to be compatible with the physical layer com-
ponent of the IrDA standard. This part of the standard is
often referred to as “IrPHY”.
The complete IrDA standard specification is available
for download from the IrDA website at www.IrDA.org.
