Description:

The MCP2120I/SL is an Infrared (IR) encoder/decoder designed for IrDA standard communication. It converts UART signals into IrDA-compliant modulated IR signals and vice versa. It is commonly used in short-range wireless data communication applications such as remote controls, barcode scanners, and handheld devices.

Features:

• IrDA Standard Compliant (supports SIR speeds up to 115.2 kbps)
• Low Power Consumption (suitable for battery-powered applications)
• Adjustable Modulation Frequency (30 kHz to 120 kHz)
• Wide Operating Voltage Range (2.0V to 5.5V)
• Industrial Temperature Range (-40°C to +85°C)
• Small Footprint (16-lead SOIC package)
• Integrated Oscillator (requires minimal external components)

This device is ideal for applications requiring low-power, wireless infrared communication with standard UART interfaces.
