XR20M1280
I2C/SPI UART WITH 128-BYTE FIFO AND INTEGRATED LEVEL SHIFTERS
The M1280 UART includes the infrared encoder and decoder compatible to the IrDA (Infrared Data
Association) version 1.0 and 1.1. The IrDA 1.0 standard that stipulates the infrared encoder sends out a 3/16 of
a bit wide HIGH-pulse for each “0” bit in the transmit data stream with a data rate up to 115.2 Kbps. For the
IrDA 1.1 standard, the infrared encoder sends out a 1/4 of a bit time wide HIGH-pulse for each "0" bit in the
transmit data stream with a data rate up to 1.152 Mbps. This signal encoding reduces the on-time of the
infrared LED, hence reduces the power consumption. See
The infrared encoder and decoder are enabled by setting MCR register bit-6 to a ‘1’. With this bit enabled, the
infrared encoder and decoder is compatible to the IrDA 1.0 standard. For the infrared encoder and decoder to
be compatible to the IrDA 1.1 standard, MSR bit-7 will also need to be set to a ’1’ when EFR bit-4 is set to ’1’.
Likewise, the RX input assumes an idle level of logic zero from a reset and power up, see
Typically, the wireless infrared decoder receives the input pulse from the infrared sensing diode on the RX pin.
Each time it senses a light pulse, it returns a logic 1 to the data bit stream.
