Devices Supported: MCP2150, MCP2155

Summary Description:

The MCP215X IrDA Data Logger Demo Board demonstrates the MCP2150 (or MCP2155) IrDA Standard Protocol Stack Controller device in a real world application. The system designer can use this design as an example of how to integrate an IrDA standard port in their embedded system.

Features:

• Demonstrates the MCP2150 IrDA Protocol Controller in a data logging application
• Communicates directly to a Laptop computer, Palm or Pocket PC PDA
• Primary Device application programs are provided to demonstrate operation (for PC, Palm OS, Pocket PC)
• F/W routines transmit data to a Primary Device (i.e., Laptop, PDA)
• LCD display indicates system state
• Reprogrammable PIC16F877 with ICSPä (In-Circuit Serial Programmingä) interface and ICD header
• Interface Header allows board to be interfaced to a prototype system application
• Header allows other Optical Transceiver circuits to be interfaced to the MCP215x device
• Operates on 9V DC input or a 9V battery
