Speedy IR transceiver shrinks to slim
line
The Agilent HSDL-3220 is billed as the industry's smallest fast infra-red (FIR) transceiver for mobile phones, personal digital assistants and digital cameras.
The Agilent HSDL-3220 is billed as the industry's smallest fast infra-red (FIR) transceiver for mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and digital cameras With a height of only 2.5mm, the Agilent HSDL-3220 features the lowest profile of any medium infra-red (MIR) or FIR transceiver on the market, providing mobile phone manufacturers greater flexibility when designing clamshell and ultraslim handsets

Hot-pluggable transceiver for Fibre Channel
Agilent Technologies has announced volume availability of its 2Gbit/s small-form-pluggable (SFP) fibre-optic transceiver for Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs).
The HSDL-3220 transceiver supports the IrDA (Infrared Data Association) low power specification and operates at transmission speeds ranging from 9.6Kbit/s to 4.0Mbit/s.
It is capable of operating with logic levels as low as 1.8V and from power sources ranging from 2.7 to 3.6V.
This allows the transceiver to work with today's low-power microprocessor chipsets and ASICs that operate at 1.8V or greater signal levels, and in mobile products operating from a single lithium-ion cell.
The device consumes only 70uA in shutdown mode.
The HSDL-3220 IrDA-compatible IR transceiver can offer improved performance and increased battery life in applications ranging from PDAs and mobile phones to digital still and video cameras and medical data-collection devices.
Its small footprint package - 2.5 x 8 x 3mm - is pin-compatible with the Agilent HSDL-3211 1.15Mbit/s MIR transceiver, making it easy to update existing handheld device form-factors with higher performance infra-red connectivity.
The new transceiver module is IEC825-1 Class 1 eye safe.
The HSDL-3220 also supports infra-red financial management (IrFM) and other data transfers with a link distance of up to 500mm.
The IrFM point-and-pay profile is designed to enable users to perform wireless financial transactions between a mobile device such as a cellular phone or PDA and a point-of-sale terminal or ATM equipped with an IR port.
It supports the use of most financial instruments, including credit and debit cards, and provides digital receipts.
The Agilent HSDL-3220 infra-red transceiver is available now through Agilent's direct sales channel and worldwide distribution partners. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
