IrDA Standard Stack for Microchip 16-Bit Microcontrollers. (New application note).
Microchip released new application note “IrDA® Standard Stack for Microchip 16-Bit Microcontrollers”.
Many members of Microchip’s families of 16-bit microcontrollers provide native IrDA standard support via their UART modules. This greatly simplifies the hardware design, which basically means that the microcontroller requires only Infrared Transmitter/Receiver.
The app note gives an overview of three IrDA protocols:
- IrCOMM 9-Wire Cooked
- OBEX
- IrCOMM 3-Wire Raw
MICROCHIP’S IrDA® STACK TOOL is the tool which will create project files required to use the Microchip IrDA Standard Stack. It will also indicate which library file to include in the project, based on the selected protocol and device type.
