IrDA infrared communication module
RPM872
RPM872 is an infrared communication module for IrDA Ver. 1.2 (Low Power). The infrared LED, PIN photo diode, and
waveform shaping LSI are all integrated into one single package. This module is designed for low power consumption.
The very small package makes it a perfect fit for mobile devices.
Features
1) Applied to IrDA Ver. 1.2. (Low Power)
2) Designed for low power consumption at waiting mode (75µA).
3) Low operating voltage
