Code Address pins No.6~11/data pins No.5~0. These six
pins are used higher address input bits or data output pins
depending on the versions of SC5272 used.When these
pins are used as address pins, they are tri-state input pins
A6/D5~A11/D0I/O
and can be set to “0”,”1”,”f”.When they are used as output
pins, they are driven to Vcc if (1) the address decoded from
the waveform that was received matches the address setting
at address input pins, and (2) the corresponding data bits
received is a “1” bits. Otherwise, they are driven to Vss.
Data Input Pin. The encode waveform received is serially fed
to SC5272 at this pin.
A resistor connected between
these two pins determine the
fundamental frequency of SC5272.
Valid Transmission. Active high signal. VT in high state
signifies that SC5272 receives valid transmission waveform.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The SC5272 decodes the waveform received and fed into the Din pin. The waveform is decoded into code word
that contains the address, data and Sync bits. The decoded address bits are compared with the address set at the
address input pins. If both addresses match for 2 consecutive code words, SC5272 drives:
a). The data output pins whose corresponding data bits is then decoded to be a "1" bit
b). The VT output --to high voltage (high state).

1. RF OPERATION
Code Bits
A code bit is the basic component of the encoded waveform, and can be classified as either an AD(Address/Data)
Bit or a SYNC(Synchronous) Bit.
An AD bit can be designated as bit “ 0 ”, “ 1 ” or “ f ” if it is in low, high or floating state respectively. One bit
waveform consists of two pulse cycles. Each pulse cycle has 16 oscillating time periods. For further details, please
refer to the diagram below:

32a
OSC
bit "0"
4a
bit "1"
bit "f"
Where: a = oscillating clock period .Bit “ f ” is only available for address bits.
The Synchronous bit waveform is 4 bits long with 1/8 bit width pulse. Please refer to the diagram below:
1/8 bit width=4a
4 bit width=128a
Note: 1bit =32a
Code word
A group of Code Bits is called a Code Word. A Code Word consists of 12 AD bits followed by one Sync. Bit. The
12 AD bits are interpreted as either address or data bits depending on the SC5272 version used. Please refer to
the diagram below:

Single Resistor Oscillator
The Build-in oscillator circuitry of SC5272 allows a precision oscillator to be constructed by connecting an
external resistor between OSC1 and OSC2 pins. For SC5272 to decode correctly the received waveform, the
oscillator frequency of SC5272 must be 2.5 ~8 times that of transmitting SC5262. It is a good practice to center the
SC5272 oscillator frequency in the window to gain best window margin at both sides. The typical oscillator
frequency with various resistor values for both SC5262 and SC5272 are shown below:

carried by SC5262-IR has a frequency of 38kHz. Details are as follows.

Code Word
A Code Word is made up of code bits and the format is the same as that of the RF Code Word.
Code Frame
Likewise, a Code Frame is made up of Code Words and the format is the same as that of RF type of operation.
Oscillator
The SC5262-IR is specially designed for infrared remote control applications and its output waveform carries
38kHz frequency. To get the 38kHz carrier frequency at the data output, the oscillator frequency must be 76kHz.
A 440kΩ resistor connected between OSC1 and OSC2 pins of SC5262-IR is recommended. Moreover, for a
matching decoder frequency, 1MΩ resistor connected between the OSC1 and OSC2 pins of SC5272 is also
recommended.
3.VALID TRANSMISSION
When the SC5272 receives a transmission code word, it initially checks whether this is a valid transmission. For
a transmission to be valid, (1) it must be a complete code word, and (2) the address bits must match the address
setting at the address pins. After two consecutive valid transmission, SC5272 (1) drives the data pins according to
the data bits received, and (2) rise VT to high voltage(high state).
The SC5272 uses either the latch or momentary data output type depending on the SC5272 version used. The
latch type SC5272-LXactivates the data out during transmission and this data is sustained in the memory until
another data is inputted or entered. A momentary type(SC5272-MXon the other hand, activates the data out only
during transmission. In the momentary type, the data does not remain in the memory after the transmission is
completed. Please refer to the diagram below:

1. When the power is turned on, the SC5272 activates the Stand-By Mode.
2. It then search for signals, If there is no signal received, it remains in the Stand-By Mode; otherwise, the address
bits received are compared with the address configuration of the pins.
3. The VT goes high signifying the validation of transmission only when there are two continuous frames that
contain matched address bit; otherwise, VT will not be activated and the Stand-By Mode remains active.
4. Then , the address bits are again checked. Two continuous mismatches of the address bits would disable the VT
and make the Stand-By Mode active; otherwise, the address bits are continuous checked.
