Infrared controller offers seamless, low-cost data transfer

A new infrared encoder/decoder from Texas Instruments gives designers of personal computers and other systems a low-cost and easy-to-implement data transfer capability.

TI's TIR1000 controller interfaces directly to a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) to receive serial data. The encoder/decoder transfers the data to an infrared transceiver, which in turn transfers the data at a maximum rate of 115.2K bps (kilobits per second) to an infrared transceiver in another system.

Applications include multimedia, automotive, set-top boxes, computer-to-peripheral transfers, telephony, personal digital assistants (PDA) and industrial equipment.

The TIR1000 is available now from Texas Instruments and authorized distributors.

TIR1000		8-pin small outline package (SOP)		$1.15

Suggested resale pricing in U.S. dollars in 1K quantities.
