Infrared communication is a wireless two-way data
connection, using infrared light generated by low-cost
transceiver signaling technology. This provides reliable
communication between two devices.
Infrared technology offers:
• Universal standard for connecting portable
• Easy, effortless implementation
• Economical alternative to other connectivity
• Reliable, high-speed connection
• Safe to use in any environment (can even be
• Eliminates the hassle of cables
• Allows PCs and other electronic devices (such as
• Enhances mobility by allowing users to easily
The MCP2150 allows the easy addition of IrDA stan-
dard wireless connectivity to any embedded applica-
tion that uses serial data.
