Both HP and Temic will send specifications on their IRDA compliant
transcievers. Call HP sales office and ask for technical data on
HSDL-1000 or Temic sales office (or 408-988-8000) and ask for IR
Remote Control Designers Kit which includes app notes and samples!
Each of these only address the optical and electrical interface for
IRDA. The higher levels of the protocol are defined in the IRDA spec
which unfortunately costs $500 from the IR Data Association at
510-943-6546 or spam_OUTjlarocheTakeThisOuT

April 17, '95 Electronic Design tells about all you'd ever want/need to know
about IrDA. Summed up, its a cheap/easy RS-232-like connection. Spec'ed to
115Kbits/s and 3-6 ft. Its based around standard UART charactertics (thus
works fine w/ std com software). About the only difference from RS-232 is
that the high pulses (0's) are narrowed substantially to reduce tx power.
This will cause a little grief with firmware uarts which expected a lot of
margin on where to sample a 232 bit.
The IrDA (Infrared Data Association) can be reached at jlaroche
KILLspamnetcom.com.
To me this may be useful in some limited applications. It will probably be
closely related to PICs since they are a very common for firmware UARTs (at
least around here). I'm sure I'll be rewriting some UART code soon.....

RE: IR Communications
Hewlett Packard has an excellent line of very high speed IR Communication
Modules.
TTL In -> IR Out and back again.
The modules have both send/recieve circuitry. If you get an Industry
Magazine the advertise free samples.

Hello List,
has anyone tried to implement the IRDA-Protocol on Pic (i.e. 16F84).
Thanks Stefan

Remember that IrDa protocol is a vaste and several layers communication
protocol. It is based on the HDLC (SDLC), and it uses several flow
controls, identifiers and so on. I made a partial subset at the 8051 uC
family to control a wireles printer, it took aprox 6 kbytes of code
(assembler).
The IrDa chips (controller and the transceiver) can also be programmed
to work in "Raw InfraRed" mode, that is similar to the VCR remote
controls IR modulation, and some other way. But to ensure a real
communication mode, with multi devices and protocol confirmation, you
need to go for real IrDa.
I used chips from Temic, as the TOIM3232 and TFDS4000, but the last one
is a pain in the neck to get from the distributors, except if you want
to buy in 750 pieces a time (whole reel). Their explanation is that once
you open the sealed package the transceivers start to suffer from
humidity and can not be restocked... I wonder what happens after you
solder them at the PCB... it must be some magic that stops the humidity
attack. Talking to someone at Temic, this person said that during the
SMD reflow the unit cooks again and fix the humidity problem... then I
asked him "what about if I solder it by hand"?... the guy probably
entered in "duhhhh state" because I heard a long silence at the other
side of the phone.

As whithin the recent discussion about smd-soldering in a reflow oven / toaster
the humidity which may vaporize is no problem after soldering - just
before (or more: during the reflow soldering).

I think this guy just heard about "problems" but didn't know the whole story.
Kind regards,

Wagner, have you looked at HP? I've only done the physical layer using
their modules based on the HSDL-1000. I've also looked at Unitrode, Siemens,
and Linear as well as the Maxim UART's mentioned earlier. All I did was test
a 3ft link between PCs using low-level serial routines in C.

Yes Tom, things I said happened 3 years ago... now we have other
suppliers... :)

Well HP is pretty much the "horse's mouth" when it comes to the physical
layer ;-)
As you obviously know, they have extensive documentation on IrDa.
