IrDA Infrared Communication Module
RPM972-H14
RPM972-H14 is an infrared communication module for IrDA V er . 1.4 (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.
Also it provides the capability of IR remote control transmission for universal remote control applications.
zFeatures
1) Infrared LED, PIN photo diode, LED driver and receiver frequency formation circuit built in.

2) Applied to SIR (9.6k to 1 15.2kbps), MIR (0.576M, 1.152Mbps) and FIR(4Mbps).
3) Surface mount type.
4) Power dow n func tion bui lt in.
5) Adjustable communication distance by LED load resistance value.
6) Infrared remote control transmi ssion driver built-in.

(b) Detecting
When it is received an optical signal, a signal outpu ts from RXD termina l at the following timi ng.
It is outputted in the pulse width fixed at the time of SIR mode (9.6k to 1 15.2kbps).
It is outputted in the pulse width which is the same as the input signal at the time of MIR mode (0.576M, 1.152Mbps)
and FIR mode (4Mbps).
But, as for the pulse width of the input signal, it is based on IrDA Physical Layer S pecification.

zNotes
1) VLEDVCC (1pin), VCC (6pin) and VIO (7pi n)
• There is no problem even if it is supplied separately from each power supply such as a fix voltage power supply and a
battery pow er supply. (VIO < Vcc + 0.3V)
But, use it in the recommendation power supply voltage range.
2) Caution in designing board lay-ou t
To get maximum potential from RPM972-H14, please keep in mind following instruction.
• The line of RXD (4pin) should be connected at backside via through hole close to RPM972-H14 pin lead. Better not
to be close to photo diode side (8pin side).
⇒This is to mi nimize feedback supplie d to photo diode from RXD.
• The parts which generate noise such as DC / DC converter should be one’s placed at more than a radius of 1.0cm
away from photo diode (8pin side).
• As for C1 between 6 - 8 pins, it should be one’s placed close to RPM972-H14.
3) Notes
• Please be sure to set up the TXD (3pin) input to be “L” (under 0.6V) except transmitting data.
(For < 90µ sec. ON duty < 25% ).
• Powerdown current might increase if exposed by strong light (ex. direct sunlight) at powerdown mode.
• Please use by the signal format which is specified by IrDA V er1.3 (Low Power).
There might be on error if used by different signal format.

5) Reference
• Please inse rt external resi stance (R 1, 1/4W) betw een LED an ode termina l and VL EDVcc to limi t the LED average
consumption current for current limitation.
In case of using R1, formula is as follows :
LED resistance value : R1 [Ω], LED average consumption current : ILED [mA],
Supply voltage : VLEDVCC [V], minimum necessary of irradiant intensity Ie1 [mW/sr]
R1 = 110 × (VLEDVCC − 1.45) / Ie1 −5 [Ω]
ILED = Duty × (VLEDVCC − 1.36) / (R1+4) [A]
Duty : LED duty at emitting
