MCP2120-I/SL Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Microchip Technology MCP2120-I/SL is a low-cost, high-performance infrared encoder/decoder IC designed to interface between a UART and an infrared optical transceiver. It supports the IrDA Physical Layer Specification version 1.3, enabling wireless two-way data connections using infrared light.

 

This device encodes (modulates) data from a standard UART for output to an IR transceiver and decodes (demodulates) received IR signals for transmission back to the UART. It supports hardware or software baud rate selection, with operation up to IrDA standard 115.2 kbaud and up to 312.5 kbaud at 20 MHz. The MCP2120 operates with a supply voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V for both analog and digital supplies.

 

Built with low-power, high-speed CMOS technology, it features a fully static design and low power consumption, typically less than 1 mA at 3.3V and 8 MHz. The MCP2120 is available in a 14-SOIC package, suitable for surface mount applications. It supports commercial and industrial temperature ranges, making it versatile for various environments.

 

Infrared communication offers an economical and reliable alternative to wired connections, enhancing mobility and allowing seamless communication between devices. The MCP2120 is well-suited for applications requiring wireless data transfer, such as connecting portable computing devices.
