• Manufacturer Part Number: FDC37N769_07
• Description: 3.3V Super I/O Controller with Infrared Support for Portable Applications
• Manufacturer: SMSC [SMSC Corporation]

The IrDA V1.1 (FIR) and Consumer IR formats are driven by the SCE registers. Descriptions of these registers can
be found in the SMSC Infrared Communications Controller Specification. The Base Address for the SCE registers is
programmed in CR2B, the SCE Base Address Register (see section CR28 on page 110).
IrDA SIR/FIR and ASKIR
IrDA SIR (v1.0) specifies asynchronous serial communication at baud rates up to 115.2Kbps. Each byte is sent
serially LSB first beginning with a zero value start bit. A zero is signaled by sending a single infrared pulse at the
beginning of the serial bit time. A one is signaled by the absence of an infrared pulse during the bit time. Please refer
to section AC TIMING for the parameters of these pulses and the IrDA waveforms.
IrDA FIR (v1.1) includes IrDA v1.0 SIR and additionally specifies synchronous serial communications at data rates up
to 4Mbps. Data is transferred LSB first in packets that can be up to 2048 bits in length. IrDA v1.1 includes .576Mbps
and 1.152Mbps data rates using an encoding scheme that is similar to SIR. The 4Mbps data rate uses a pulse
position modulation (PPM) technique.
The ASKIR infrared allows asynchronous serial communication at baud rates up to 19.2Kbps. Each byte is sent
serially LSB first beginning with a zero value start bit. A zero is signaled by sending a 500KHz carrier waveform for
the duration of the serial bit time. A one is signaled by the absence of carrier during the bit time. Please refer to
section AC TIMING for the parameters of the ASKIR waveforms.
Consumer IR
The FDC37N769 Consumer IR interface is a general-purpose Amplitude Shift Keyed encoder/decoder with
programmable carrier and bit-cell rates that can emulate many popular TV Remote encoding formats; including,
38KHz PPM, PWM and RC-5. The carrier frequency is programmable from 1.6MHz to 6.25KHz. The bit-cell rate
range is 100KHz to 390Hz.
Hardware Interface
The FDC37N769 IR hardware interface is shown in
FIGURE
to program the data rate, while the other has a second Rx data pin (IRR3). The FDC37N769 uses Pin 21 for these
functions. Pin 21 has IR Mode and IRR3 as its first and second alternate function, respectively. These functions are
selected through CR29 as shown in Table 60.
The FAST bit is used to select between the SIR mode and FIR mode receiver, regardless of the transceiver type. If
FAST = 1, the FIR mode receiver is selected; if FAST = 0, the SIR mode receiver is selected (Table 61).
IR Half Duplex Turnaround Delay Time
If the Half Duplex option is chosen there is an IR Half Duplex Time-out that constrains IRCC direction mode changes.
This time-out starts as each bit is transferred and prevents direction mode changes until the time-out expires. The
timer is restarted whenever new data arrives in the current direction mode. For example, if data is loaded into the
transmit buffer while a character is being received, the transmission will not start until the last bit has been received
