The MCP2150-I/SO is an IrDA® Standard Protocol Stack Controller supporting DTE applications. The MCP2150 is a low pin count (18-pin), easy to use device for implementing IrDA standard wireless connectivity. The MCP2150 provides support for the IrDA standard protocol stack plus bit encoding/decoding. The serial interface baud rates are user selectable to one of four IrDA standard baud rates between 9600 baud and 115.2kbaud. The IR baud rates are user selectable to one of five IrDA standard baud rates between 9600baud and 115.2kbaud. The serial interface baud rate will be specified by the BAUD1:BAUD0 pins, while the IR baud rate is specified by the primary device. This means that the baud rates do not need to be the same. The MCP2150 operates in data terminal equipment (DTE) applications and sits between an UART and an infrared optical transceiver. The MCP2150 encodes an asynchronous serial data stream, converting each data bit to the corresponding infrared (IR) formatted pulse.
