TIR1000: Regarding IR_RXD input pulse spec

Part Number: TIR1000

Dear Specialists,

My customer is considering TIR1000 and has a question.

I would be grateful if you could advise.

---

About 6 pins (IR_RXD) of TIR1000,

The pulse width of the input signal is described as 3/16 clock at datasheet P.3 Pin Functions.

Could you please let us know the maximum and minimum values.

In our case, we use external clock to the 16XCLK, not UART RCLK.

The background is listed below.

The pulse width of IrDA sent from Vishay TFDU4101(IrDA light receiving element) is 4 clock pulses (at 115200bps 1.8432MHz) in actual measurement.

We are considering replacing it with TIR1000 because it exceeds the regulations of Microchip MCP2122 currently in use.

I appreciate your great help and cooperation.

Best regards,

Shinichi

  • Hello Shinichi,

    I understand your question to be whether it is okay for the IR_RXD input to be 4 cycles instead of 3 cycles for an encoded 0.

    Yes, this is okay. In the Feature Description for the data sheet, you can find the following statement: "To code a 0, one pulse is sent or received within a 1-bit time period, or 16 clock cycles. The pulse must be at least 1.6 μs wide and 3 clock cycles long at 1.843 MHz."

    Best,
