4 Mbps FIR transceivers

14 June 2006 Opto-Electronics

Vishay Intertechnology is adding two new infrared transceivers to its optoelectronics portfolio that support the IrDA high-speed IrSimpleShot protocol for beaming digital pictures directly from camera phones to TVs, printers, and other enabled camera phones. The TFDU6300/1 provide the fast infrared (FIR) 4 Mbps data rate required by IrSimpleShot within a miniaturised package of only 2,5 x 3,0 x 8,3 mm (H x W x L). They also require minimal battery power due to low receive operating (or idle) current of 1,8 mA and shutdown current of 0,01 μA. IrSimpleShot technology was developed by companies including NTT DoCoMo and Sharp to set free the billions of images trapped in camera phones and digital still cameras. Based on proven IrDA and remote control technologies, it allows users to easily beam photos directly to TVs and printers, without the need for cables or a complicated software set-up. These FIR transceivers are fully compliant with IrDA physical layer, transmitting data signals over distances upwards of 0,7 m, and TV remote control signals over distances of up to 25 m. The operating voltage range is from 2,4 V to 3,6 V.
