GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This
Communications Controller (IrCC 2.0) function,
which is common to a number of SMSC
products. The IrCC 2.0 consists of two main
architectural blocks: the ACE 16C550A UART
and a Synchronous Communications Engine
(SCE) (Figure 2). It’s own unique register set
supports each block.
The IrCC 2.0 UART-driven IrDA SIR and SHARP
ASK
modes
are

the
Infrared
backward
compatible
with current SMSC Super I/O and Ultra I/O
infrared implementations. The IrCC 2.0 SCE
supports IrDA v1.1 0.576 Mbps, 1.152 Mbps, 4
Mbps, and Consumer IR modes. All of the SCE-
driven modes can use DMA. The IrCC 2.0 offers
flexible signal routing and programmable output
control through the Raw mode interface, General
Purpose Data pins and Output Multiplexer. Chip-
level address decoding is required to access the
IrCC 2.0 register sets.
