DESCRIPTION
IRM1021 is an IrDA compliant 1.152 Mb/s infrared
data transceiver. The IRM1021 consists of a PIN pho-
todiode, an infrared LED and a custom ASIC, all
attached to a printed circuit board. Its external shut-
down (SD) feature cuts the current consumption to
less that 0.01
µ
A . The transmit pulse is limited to
70
µ
s, extending transmitter life and ensuring eye
safety. The flat top surface is ideal for high speed
pick-and-place manufacturing.

Theory of Operation
The IRM1021 Cast Slimline Infrared Data Transceiver, IrDT
consists of a detector photodiode, an IR LED transmitter, an IC
containing ambient light suppressor and Automatic Gain con-
trol circuitry (AGC).
The ambient light suppressor can cancel up to 10 mW/cm
2
at
5.0 V. This will typically allow operation in all but direct sunlight.
The receiver automatic gain control (AGC) circuit normalizes
pulse width despite 120 dB signal range. The AGC also
improves noise immunity while receiving a transmission by
reducing gain so that noise less than 1/2 the peak signal
height will not be detected.
Asserting shutdown high powers down the transceiver, and for
bus multiplexing, tri-states the receiver output and disables TxD
input.
In receive mode, the receiver output (RxD) which normally
stays high, will go low for duration of the receive pulses. It is a
push-pull CMOS driver capable of driving a standard CMOS or
TTL load. No external pull-up or pull-down resistor is required.
In transmit mode, by asserting the TxD pin above 1.4 V will turn
on IR LED transmitter. This pin has a 500 k
Ω
pulldown. At the
LED Anode (pin 1) connect this pin to
V
CC
or unregulated
power supply (not to exceed
V
CC
+4.0 V), through a resistor to
set the proper LED current to reduce the thermal dissipation
and to lower LED current.

Note 1:
For Shut Down (SD) current to fall below 1.0
µA
requires driving
Shut Down (SD) to within 0.5 V of
V
CC
to ensure cutoff of the PMOS
transistor of the input CMOS totem pole. In most applications this is
not an issue if Shut Down (SD) is driven from a CMOS driver sup-
plied from the same voltage supply.
Note 2:
“AGC Attack Time” is the time required for internal AGC (Automatic
Gain Control) attenuation to rise to within 10% of final value.
Note 3:
“AGC Settling” is the number of pulses within 100
µs
required for
the output pulse width to settle to 90% of its final value.
Note 4:
“Near-far Receiver Latency” is the time required for the AGC and
ambient correction circuits to return to maximum sensitivity (Far) fol-
lowing reception of a maximum (Near) signal or a change in ambi-
ent. “Transmit Receiver Latency” is commonly called “Receiver
Latency” or “Transmitter Turnaround Time”.
Note 5:
“AGC Decay Rate” is the rate at which the receiver gain increases
following the cessation of signal input.
Note 6:
RxD is active while (TxD) transmit pulse is active.
