MCP2150-I/SS Datasheet PDF - Microchip

In focusing on connectivity solutions for our customers, Microchip now offers products to support infrared wireless communication. With the explosive growth of mobile phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and other handheld electronic devices, the need for a simple, low cost wireless communication method has grown as well.

●The MCP2120 Infrared Encoder/Decoder is the first low-cost, easy-to-use infrared peripheral targeted for embedded systems. Utilizing this device and an off-the-shelf infrared transceiver, Microchip customers will now be able to add wireless communication capability to their designs.

●The revolutionary MCP2150 and MCP2155 IrDA® protocol stack handler PLUS bit encoding/decoding devices are simply the smallest and simplest way of adding IrDA functionality to embedded applications. In the past, supporting the complex IrDA® protocol stack on the host microcontroller required a large amount of system resources and protocol stack knowledge. The MCP2150 and MCP2155 offload these requirements to a peripheral device, freeing up the system designer to focus on the design, not communication with the outside world.
