Notes
1) VLEDA (8pin) and V
CC
(3pin)
•Other
power source can be used difference between VLEDA and V
CC
.
2) Caution in designing board lay-out
To get maximum potential from RPM873, please keep in mind following instruction.
•The
line of RXD (6pin) should be connected at backside via through hole close to RPM873 pin lead.
Better not to be close to photo diode side (1pin).
⇒This
is to minimize feedback supplied to photo diode from RXD.
•Better
to be placed more than 1.0cm in radius from photo diode (pin1 side) and also away from the parts which
generate noise, such as DC / DC converter.
•As
for C1 between 3-4pin should be placed close to RPM873.
3) Notes
•Please
be sure to set up the TXD (7pin) input to be “L” (under 0.55V) except transmitting data
(for<90µs, ON duty<20%)
•Power
down current might increase if exposed by strong light (ex. direct sunlight) at power down mode.
•Please
use by the signal format which is specified by lrDA Ver1.2 (2.4k to 115.2kbps).
There might be on error if used by different signal format.
4) Eye Safe
•IEC825-1
(EN60825-1) Class 1 Eye Safe.
