MCP215X DATA LOGGER DEMO BOARD DESCRIPTION
The following sections describe each element of this demo board in further detail.
2.5.1
The MCP215X Data Logger Demo Board is powered by either a single 9V battery or
an AC-to-9V power supply. This voltage is regulated to a nominal voltage of 4.5V. The
green LED (D10) is the power indicator, turning on when power is applied.
2.5.2
This demo board highlights the MCP2150 or the MCP2155 IrDA Protocol Stack
Controller device (U2) to demonstrate the implementation of an IR port in an embedded
system application. The MCP215X device handles all IrDA standard protocol tasks,
while allowing the system designer to easily interface the device to a microcontroller
via a standard UART port.
The key signals for the MCP2150-to-microcontroller (Host UART) interface are shown
in Table 2-10, while Table 2-11 shows these signals for the MCP2155. The operation of
the host UART interface is slightly different for the MCP2150 and the MCP2155.
Further information on the Host Controller interface may be obtained from the device
