Frequently Asked Questions
What data rate does MCP2122-E/SN support and which IrDA protocol modes are compatible?
The MCP2122-E/SN supports IrDA SIR mode at up to 115.2 kbps serial data rate, encoding and decoding the 3/16-pulse IrDA waveform. It connects directly between a standard UART operating at 9600 bps to 115.2 kbps and an infrared LED transceiver, removing the need for firmware pulse shaping.
For a battery-powered handheld scanner, what supply voltage range does MCP2122-E/SN require?
The MCP2122-E/SN operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V supply, making it compatible with single-cell Li-ion batteries at 3.3V as well as 5V regulated rails. Typical supply current is under 3 mA during active transmission, which helps maintain acceptable battery life in portable barcode scanner or remote terminal designs.
How does MCP2122-E/SN compare in package size to similar IrDA encoder ICs when board space is limited?
The MCP2122-E/SN uses an 8-pin SOIC package with a body measuring approximately 5 mm x 4 mm and 1.27 mm lead pitch, giving it one of the smaller footprints among through-hole-compatible IrDA encoder options. The compact SOIC-8 outline simplifies placement on boards where IR module and MCU must share a small area under 2 cm².
