Frugal IrDA transceivers can stay on all the time
ZiLog has released the first devices in its new UltraSlim IrDA transceiver family designed to bring always-on, always power-efficient infra-red connectivity to compact portable systems.
Its low power consumption (6mW is typical) also makes the ZLR32300 ideal for use in consumer handheld devices, extending the battery life of these devices, saving the user money.
In addition, with the design based on the popular Z8 core and built around CISC architecture, the ZLR32300 provides a stable base platform allowing rapid development, small-volume production and a migration path to MROM for high volume production of remote controls.
The new devices offer a choice of 8, 16, 24 or 32Kbyte of ROM, a 2.0 to 3.6V operating range, and come in 20-, 28-, 40- and 48-pin and SOIC, SSOP and PDIP flavours.
In addition, the ZLR32300 serves up 237byte of general- purpose RAM and 32Kbyte of MROM, a high GPIO count (up to 32), fast executing, efficient use of memory, sophisticated interrupts, input/output bit manipulation capabilities, automated pulse, high and low voltage detection flags, two programmable timers and comes with a comprehensive suite of development tools.
The included robust IR code database provides coding for multiple devices and geographies to provide the highest level of design flexibility.
The devices also feature embedded remote control firmware which enables features to be designed quickly and easily on designer's remote control devices.
The ZLR32300 can be ordered from Zilog distributors or via the Zilog website, and is competitively priced at $1.35 per unit in quantities of 10,000.
