This section presents an overview of the following system blocks:
• The MCP215X Data Logger Demo Board Hardware
• The MCP215X Data Logger Demo Board Firmware
• The Primary device Graphical User Interface (GUI)
This should give you an understanding of what these components do in the complete
IrDA standard system.
2.3.1
The major components for the MCP215X Data Logger Demo Board are:
1. MCP215X device (U3)
2. Optical transceiver (U5 - TFDS 4500)
3. PICmicro MCU (U1 - PIC16F877)
4. LCD module
5. Power supply
6. User inputs to PICmicro MCU (SW2, SW3 and variable resistor (VR1))
7. PICmicro MCU RESET
8. PICmicro MCU crystal (Y2)
The MCP215X Data Logger Demo Board is fully assembled and tested for evaluation
and demonstration of the MCP2150 or MCP2155 features. A block diagram of the
demo board is shown in Figure 2-1. The board has been designed to allow the instal-
lation of an optional LCD contrast control (VR2) and serial EEPROM device. These
optional components are removed from the MCP215X Data Logger Demo Board block
diagrams for readability.
For more detailed circuit information, refer to Appendix A. “Schematic and Layouts”
and Appendix B. “Bill-Of-Materials (BOM)”.
