Recommended Circuit Diagram
The only required component for designing an
IrDA 1.2 compatible design using Vishay Telefunken
FIR transceivers is a current limiting resistor, R1, to the
IRED. However, depending on the entire system
design and board layout, additional components may
be required (see figure 3).

Figure 3. Recommended Application Circuit
Vishay Telefunken transceivers integrate a sensitive
receiver and a built–in power driver. The combination
of both needs a careful circuit board layout. The use of
thin, long resistive and inductive wiring should be
avoided. The inputs (Txd, SD/Mode) and the output
Rxd should be directly (DC) coupled to the I/O circuit.
R1 is used for controlling the current through the IR
emitter. For increasing the output power of the IRED,
the value of the resistor should be reduced. Similarly,
to reduce the output power of the IRED, the value of
the resistor should be increased. For typical values of
R1 see figure 4. For IrDA compliant operation, a
current control resistor of 7.2
is recommended. The
upper drive current limitation is dependent on the duty
cycle and is given by the absolute maximum ratings on
the data sheet.
R2, C1 and C2 are optional and dependent on the
quality of the supply voltage VCC and injected noise.
An unstable power supply with dropping voltage during
transmission may reduce sensitivity (and transmission
range) of the transceiver.

The placement of these parts is critical. It is strongly
recommended to position C2 as near as possible to the
transceiver
power
supply
pins.
An
electrolytic
capacitor should be used for C1 while a ceramic
capacitor is used for C2. Also, when connecting the
described circuit to the power supply, low impedance
wiring should be used.
