MCP2120-I/P Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Microchip Technology MCP2120-I/P is a low-cost, high-performance, static infrared encoder/decoder IC. It interfaces between a UART and an infrared optical transceiver, encoding data from the UART into modulated electrical pulses for the IR transceiver and decoding incoming pulses back into data for the UART. This device supports the IrDA Physical Layer Specification version 1.3.

 

Key electrical specifications include an operating voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V. It supports hardware or software baud rate selection, with operation up to 115.2 kbaud standard IrDA and up to 312.5 kbaud at 20 MHz. The device also features a low power mode, consuming less than 1 mA at 3.3V and 8 MHz typically.

 

Packaged in a 14-pin DIP, the MCP2120-I/P is designed for through-hole mounting. It is suitable for applications requiring wireless two-way data connections using infrared light, offering an economical and reliable alternative to wired connectivity solutions.

 

This component is manufactured using low-power, high-speed CMOS technology and is Pb-free. It is designed for commercial and industrial temperature ranges.
