Description
The TFDU4100, TFDS4500, and TFDT4500 are a family
of low-power infrared transceiver modules compliant to
the IrDA 1.2 standard for serial infrared (SIR) data
communication, supporting IrDA speeds up to 115.2
kbit/s. Integrated within the transceiver modules are a
photo PIN diode, infrared emitter (IRED), and a
low-power analog control IC to provide a total front–end
solution in a single package. TEMIC’s SIR transceivers
are available in three package options, including our
BabyFace package (TFDU4100), the smallest SIR
transceiver available on the market. This wide selection

The transceivers are capable of directly interfacing with
a wide variety of I/O chips which perform the pulse-width
modulation/demodulation function, including TEMIC’s
TOIM3000 and TOIM3232. At a minimum, a
current-limiting resistor in series with the infrared emitter
and a Vcc bypass capacitor are the only external
components required to implement a complete solution.

Recommended Circuit Diagram
The only required components for designing an IrDA 1.2
compatible design using TEMIC SIR transceivers are a
current limiting resistor to the IRED. However,
depending on the entire system design and board layout,
additional components may be required (see Figure 1).
It is recommended that the capacitors C1 and C2 are
positioned as near as possible to the transceiver power
supply pins, as in the proposed layout in Figure 1. A
tantalum capacitor should be used for C1, while a ceramic
capacitor should be used for C2 to suppress RF noise.
Also, when connecting the described circuit to the power
supply , low impedance wiring should be used.
R1 is used for controlling the current through the IR
emitter. For increasing the output power of the IRED, the
value of the resistor should be reduced. Similarly, to
reduce the output power of the IRED, the value of the
resistor should be increased. For typical values of R1 see
Fig 2. For IrDA compliant operation, a current control
resistor of 8–12 Ω is recommended. The upper drive
current limitation is dependent on the duty cycle and is
given by the absolute maximum ratings on the data sheet
and the eye safety limitations given by IEC825–1.

The sensitivity control (SC) pin allows the minimum
detection irradiance threshold of the transceiver to be
lowered when set to a logic HIGH. Lowering the
irradiance threshold increases the sensitivity to infrared
signals and increases transmission range up to 3 meters.
However, setting the SC pin to logic HIGH also makes
the transceiver more susceptible to transmission errors
due to an increased sensitivity to fluorescent light
distrubances. It is recommended to set the SC pin to logic
LOW or left open if the increased range is not required or
if the system will be operating in bright ambient light.
The guide pins on the side-view and top-view packages
are internally connected to ground but should not be
connected to the system ground to avoid ground loops.
They should be used for mechanical purposes only and
should be left floating.

Shutdown
The internal switch for the IRED in TEMIC SIR
transceivers is designed to be operated like an open
collector driver. Thus, the V
unregulated power supply while only a well regulated
power source with a supply current of 1.3 mA connected
to V
/SD is needed to provide power to the remainder
CC1
of the transceiver circuitry in receive mode. In transmit
mode, this current is slightly higher (approxiamately 4
mA average at 3V supply current) and the voltage is not
required to be kept as stable as in receive mode. A voltage
drop of V
is acceptable down to about 2.2V when
CC1
buffering the voltage directly from the V
by a 470 nF ceramic capacitor (C1) and a 51 Ω serial
resistor (R2) is used (see figure 1).
This configuration minimizes the influence of high
current surges from the IRED on the internal analog
control circuitry of the transceiver and the application
circuit. Also, board space and cost savings can be
achieved by eliminating the additional linear regulator
normally needed for the IRED’s high current
requirements.
The transceiver can be very efficiently shutdown by
keeping the IRED connected to the power supply V
but switching off V

If the microcontroller or the microprocessor is unable to
drive the 1.3-mA supply current required by the
transceiver, a low-cost SOT-23 pnp transistor can be used
to switch voltage on and off from the regulated power
supply (see figure 4). The additional component cost is
minimal and saves the system designer additional power
