17.7 IrDA Operation
IrDA operation can be used with the SCI3_1. Figure 17.19 shows an IrDA block diagram.
If the IrDA function is enabled using the IrE bit in IrCR, the TXD31 and RXD31 pins in the
SCI3_1 are allowed to encode and decode the waveform based on the IrDA standard version 1.0
(function as the IrTXD and IrRXD pins). Connecting these pins to the infrared data
transceiver/receiver achieves infrared data communication based on the system defined by the
IrDA standard version 1.0.
In the system defined by the IrDA standard version 1.0, communication is started at a transfer rate
of 9600 bps, which can be modified as required. The IrDA interface provided by this LSI does not
incorporate the capability of automatic modification of the transfer rate; the transfer rate must be
modified through programming.
