Overview
IrDA board is a tool used to develop devices that use Infrared communication.
The board includes MCP2155 IrDA driver, TFDU4101 diode and other communication components.
IDC10 connector enables easy connection with peripheral devices.
Description
The IrDA board features the MCP2155 IrDA driver used for implementing IrDA standard wireless connectivity. The driver also handles IrDA standard protocol stack + bit encoding/decoding. It is used in Data Communication Equipment applications and placed between the UART and infrared optical transceiver. The TFDU4101 diode is an infrared transceiver module compliant with the latest IrDA physical layer standard for fast infrared data communication.
