INTRODUCTION
Chapter 2. Installation and Operation
This chapter discusses the installation and operation of the MCP215X Data Logger
Demo Board and a Primary device for data communication. This demonstrates an IrDA
standard system and will assist the system designer on how to integrate an IR port into
a system.
The MCP215X Data Logger Demo Board demonstrates the implementation of an
embedded system with an IrDA standard interface. This system operates as an IrDA
standard Secondary device using either the MCP2150 or the MCP2155 device.
The IrDA standard system requires the Primary device to be running an appropriate
application program. The MCP215X Data Logger Demo Board interfaces to the
Primary device application programs that are currently available from Microchip. The
three application programs available for the following Primary device systems are:
• Palm OS
• Microsoft
• Microsoft
These application programs are supported by three application notes that discuss the
programming of these particular operating systems. These application notes are:
• AN888, “Programming the Palm OS
• AN926, “Programming the Pocket PC for Embedded IR Applications”, DS00926
• AN941, “Programming Windows XP
The host UART interface includes non-data flow control signals. These are the signals
between a Host Controller and a MCP215X device. A discussion of the host UART
interface is given in the following application note:
• AN858, “Interfacing the MCP215X to a Host Controller”, DS00858
Note:
References to a MCP215X device in this document can refer to either the
MCP2150 or the MCP2155 device.
