INTRODUCTION AND HIGHLIGHTS
WHAT IS THE MCP2120/22 DEVELOPER’S BOARD?
This chapter provides an overview of the MCP2120/22 Developer’s Boards’ features,
the system configurations that they can be used in and the system requirements for the
tutorials.
Items discussed in this chapter are:
• What is the MCP2120/22 Developer’s Board?
• MCP2120/22 Developer’s Board Features
• PC Requirements
• What the MCP2120/22 Developer’s Board Kit includes:
The MCP2120/22 Developer’s Board allows for the easy demonstration and
development of IrDA applications. The board can be powered via USB or the power
test points (V
voltage must not exceed the PIC18F65J50 voltage specification.
The preprogrammed PIC18F65J50 firmware generates the MCP2122’s clock. The
Host interface can be connected to the UART driver device (for IrDA to UART
operation), for communication over the DB-9 connector or connected to the
PIC18F65J50 for stand alone operation.
The USB interface signals are fully connected to the PIC18F65J50. So programs can
be created where the PIC18F65J50 can communicate to the USB Host and to the
MCP2122. This would allow the board to be used as an IrDA to USB converter.
