DEVICE OVERVIEW
1.1
The MCP2140 is a cost-effective, low pin count (18-pin),
easy-to-use device for implementing IrDA standard
wireless connectivity. The MCP2140 provides support
for the IrDA standard protocol “stack”, bit encoding/
decoding and low cost, discrete IR receiver circuitry.
The serial and IR interface baud rates are fixed at
9600 baud. The serial interface and IR interface baud
rates are dependent on the device frequency, but IrDA
standard operation requires a device frequency of
7.3728 MHz.
The MCP2140 will specify to the Primary Device the IR
baud rate during the Discover phase.
The MCP2140 can operate in Data Communication
Equipment (DCE) and Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
applications, and sits between a UART and an infrared
optical transceiver.
The MCP2140 encodes an asynchronous serial data
stream, converting each data bit to the corresponding
infrared (IR) formatted pulse. IR pulses received are
decoded and then handled by the protocol handler
state machine. The protocol handler sends the appropriate data bytes to the Host Controller in UARTformatted serial data.
The MCP2140 supports “point-to-point” applications,
that is, one Primary device and one Secondary device.
The MCP2140 operates as a Secondary device and
does not support “multi-point” applications.
Sending data using IR light requires some hardware
and the use of specialized communication protocols.
These protocol and hardware requirements are
described, in detail, by the IrDA standard specifications.
The encoding/decoding functionality of the MCP2140 is
designed to be compatible with the physical layer component of the IrDA standard. This part of the standard is
often referred to as “IrPHY”.
The complete IrDA standard specification is available
for download from the IrDA website at www.IrDA.org.
Applications
The MCP2140 Infrared Communications Controller,
supporting the IrDA standard, provides embedded system designers the easiest way to implement IrDA standard wireless connectivity. Figure 1-1 shows a typical
application block diagram, while Table 1-2 shows the
pin definitions.

Infrared communication is a wireless, two-way data
connection using infrared light generated by low-cost
transceiver signaling technology. This provides reliable
communication between two devices.
Infrared technology offers:
• Universal standard for connecting portable
computing devices
• Easy, effortless implementation
• Economical alternative to other connectivity
solutions
• Reliable, high-speed connections
• Safe to use in any environment (can even be
used during air travel)
• Eliminates the hassle of cables
• Allows PCs and other electronic devices (such as
PDAs, cell phones, etc.) to communicate with
each other
• Enhances mobility by allowing users to easily
connect
The MCP2140 allows the easy addition of IrDA standard wireless connectivity to any embedded application that uses serial data. Figure 1-1 shows typical
implementation of the MCP2140 in an embedded
system.
The IrDA protocol for printer support is not included in
the IrCOMM 9-wire “cooked” service class.

DEVICE OPERATION
2.3.1.1
The MCP2140 serial interface and IR baud rates are
fixed at 9600 baud, given a 7.3728 MHz device clock.
2.1
Power-Up
Any time the device is powered up (Parameter D003),
the Power-Up Timer delay (Parameter 33) occurs, followed by an Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) delay
(Parameter 32). Once these delays complete, communication with the device may be initiated. This communication is from both the infrared transceiver’s side and
the controller’s UART interface.

The frequency of this clock source must be
7.3728 MHz (electrical specification Parameter 1A) for
device communication at 9600 baud.
Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator, but also increases the startup time. These values are for design guidance only. Since each resonator has its own
characteristics, the user should consult the
resonator manufacturer for appropriate values of external components.

The MCP2140 requires a clock source to operate. This
clock source is used to establish the device timing,
including the device “Bit Clock”.
2.3.1
A crystal or ceramic resonator can be connected to the
OSC1 and OSC2 pins to establish oscillation
(Figure 2-1). The MCP2140 oscillator design requires
the use of a parallel-cut crystal. Use of a series of cut
crystals may give a frequency outside of the crystal
manufacturers specifications.
C1
The MCP2140 is forced into the reset state when the
RESET pin is in the low state. Once the RESET pin is
brought to a high state, the Device Reset sequence
occurs. Once the sequence completes, functional
operation begins.

Higher capacitance increases the stability
of the oscillator but also increases the startup time. These values are for design guidance only. RS may be required to avoid

values of external components.

External Clock
For applications where a clock is already available
elsewhere, users may directly drive the MCP2140 provided that this external clock source meets the AC/DC
timing requirements listed in Section 4.3, “Timing Diagrams and Specifications”. Figure 2-2 shows how an
external clock circuit should be configured.

BIT CLOCK
The device crystal is used to derive the communication
bit clock (BITCLK). There are 16 BITCLKs for each bit
time. The BITCLKs are used for the generation of the
start bit and the eight data bits. The stop bit uses the
BITCLK when the data is transmitted (not for
reception).
This clock is a fixed-frequency and has minimal
variation in frequency (specified by the crystal
manufacturer).

2.4.4
Host UART Interface
The Host UART interface communicates with the Host
Controller. This interface has eight signals associated
with it: TX, RX, RTS, CTS, DSR, DTR, CD and RI. Several of these signals are locally generated (not passed
over the IR interface). The Host UART is a half-duplex
interface, meaning that the system is either transmitting
or receiving, but not both simultaneously.
Note 1: The MCP2140 generates several nondata signals locally.
2: The MCP2140 emulates a 3-wire serial
connection (TXD, RXD and GND). The
transceiver’s Transmit Data (TXD),
Receive Data (RXD) signals, and the
state of the CD. RI and DTR input pins are
carried back and forth to the Primary
device.
3: The RTS and CTS signals are local
emulations.
2.4.1
BAUD RATE
The baud rate for the MCP2140 serial port (the TX and
RX pins) is fixed at 9600 baud when the device
frequency is 7.3728 MHz.
2.4.2
TRANSMITTING
When the controller sends serial data to the MCP2140,
the controller’s baud rate is required to match the baud
rate of the MCP2140’s serial port.
2.4.3
RECEIVING
When the controller receives serial data from the
MCP2140, the controller’s baud rate is required to
match the baud rate of the MCP2140’s serial port.
There are three Host UART signals used to control the
handshaking operation between the Host Controller
and the MCP2140. They are:
• DSR
• RTS
• CTS
2.4.4.1
DSR
The DSR signal is used to indicate that a link has been
established between the MCP2140 and the Primary
Device. Please refer to Section 2.14, “How Devices
Connect”, for information on how devices connect.
2.4.4.2
RTS
The RTS signal indicates to the MCP2140 that the Host
Controller is ready to receive serial data. Once an IR
data packet has been received, the RTS signal will be
low for the received data to be transferred to the Host
Controller. If the RTS signal remains high, an IR link
timeout will occur and the MCP2140 will disconnect
from the Primary Device.
2.4.4.3
CTS
The MCP2140 generates the CTS signal locally due to
buffer limitations.
The MCP2140 uses a 64-byte buffer for incoming data
from the IR Host. Another 29-byte buffer is provided to
buffer data from the UART serial port. The MCP2140
can handle IR data and Host UART serial port data
simultaneously. A hardware handshaking pin (CTS) is
provided to inhibit the Host Controller from sending
serial data when the Host UART buffer is not available
(Figure 2-3). Figure 2-4 shows a flow chart for Host
UART flow control using the CTS signal.
Note:
FIGURE 2-3:
HARDWARE HANDSHAKING
When the CTS output signal goes high, the
UART FIFO will store up to 6 bytes. This is
to allow devices that have a slow response
time to a change on the CTS signal time to
stop sending additional data (such as a
modem).

Encoder/Decoder
The encoder converts the UART format data into the
IrDA Standard format data and the decoder converts
IrDA Standard format data into UART format data.
2.5.1
ENCODER (MODULATION)
The data that the MCP2140 UART received (on the TX
pin) that needs to be transmitted (on the TXIR pin) will
need to be modulated. This modulated signal drives the
IR transceiver module. Figure 2-5 shows the encoding
of the modulated signal.
Note:
Each bit time is comprised of 16-bit clocks. If the value
to be transmitted (as determined by the TX pin) is a
logic-low, the TXIR pin will output a low level for 7-bit
clock cycles, a logic high level for 3-bit clock cycles or
a minimum of 1.6 µsec (see Parameter IR121). The
remaining 6-bit clock cycles will be low. If the value to
transmit is a logic-high, the TXIR pin will output a low
level for the entire 16-bit clock cycles.
The signal on the TXIR pin does not actually line up in time with the bit value that
was transmitted on the TX pin, as shown in
Figure 2-5. The TX bit value is shown to
represent the value to be transmitted on
the TXIR pin.

DECODER (DEMODULATION)
2.6
The modulated signal (data) from the IR transceiver
module (on RXIR pin) needs to be demodulated to
form the received data (on RX pin). Once demodulation of the data byte occurs, the data that is received is
transmitted by the MCP2140 UART (on the RX pin).
Figure 2-6 shows the decoding of the modulated
signal.
Note:
IR Port Baud Rate
The baud rate for the MCP2140 IR port (the TXIR and
RXIR pins) is fixed at the default rate of 9600 baud. The
Primary device will be informed of this parameter during NDM. The Host UART baud rate and the IR port
baud rate are the same.
The signal on the RX pin does not actually
line up in time with the bit value that was
received on the RXIR pin, as shown in
Figure 2-6. The RXIR bit value is shown to
represent the value to be transmitted on
the RX pin.
Each bit time is comprised of 16-bit clocks. If the value
to be received is a logic-low, the RXIR pin will be a low
level for the first 3-bit clock cycles, or a minimum of
1.6 µs. The remaining 13-bit clock cycles (or difference
up to the 16-bit clock time) will be high. If the value to
be received is a logic-high, the RXIR pin will be a high
level for the entire 16-bit clock cycles. The level on the
RX pin will be in the appropriate state for the entire 16
clock cycles.

IrDA DATA PROTOCOLS
SUPPORTED BY MCP2140
The MCP2140 supports these required IrDA standard
protocols:
• Physical Signaling Layer (PHY)
• Link Access Protocol (IrLAP)
• Link Management Protocol/Information Access
Service (IrLMP/IAS)
The MCP2140 also supports some of the optional protocols for IrDA standard data. The optional protocols
implemented by the MCP2140 are:
• Tiny TP
• IrCOMM
IRCOMM
IrCOMM provides the method to support serial and parallel port emulation. This is useful for legacy COM
applications, such as printers and modem devices.
The IrCOMM standard is a syntax that allows the Primary device to consider the Secondary device a serial
device. IrCOMM allows for emulation of serial or parallel (printer) connections of various capabilities. The
MCP2140 supports the 9-wire “cooked” service class of
IrCOMM. Other service classes supported by IrCOMM
are shown in Figure 2-8.
The IrDA protocol for printer support is not included in
the IrCOMM 9-wire “cooked” service class.
Figure 2-7 shows the IrDA data protocol stack and
those components implemented by the MCP2140.

2.8.1
Minimizing Power
During IR communication between a Primary Device
and the MCP2140, the MCP2140 is in an operational
mode. In this mode, the MCP2140 consumes the
operational current (Parameter D010).
For many applications, the time that IR communication
is occurring is a small percentage of the applications
operational time. The ability for the IR controller to be
in a low power mode during this time will save on the
applications power consumption. The MCP2140 will
automatically enter a low power mode once IR activity
has stopped and will return to operational mode once
IR activity is detected on the RXPD and RXPDREF
pins.
AUTOMATIC LOW POWER MODE
The Automatic Low Power mode allows the system to
achieve the lowest possible operating current.
When the IR link has been “closed”, the protocol handler state machine returns to the Normal Disconnect
Mode (NDM). During NDM, if no IR activity occurs for
about 10 seconds, the device is disabled and enters
into Low Power mode. In this mode, the device oscillator is shut down and the PHACT pin will be low
(Parameter D010A).
Table 2-3 shows the MCP2140 current. These are
specified in Parameter D010 and Parameter D010A.

Another way to minimize system power is to use an I/O

RETURNING TO DEVICE
OPERATION
The device will exit the Low Power mode when the
RXPD pin voltage crosses the REPDREF pin reference
voltage.
A device reset will also cause the MCP2140 to exit Low
Power mode. After device initialization, if no IR activity
occurs for about 10 seconds, the device is disabled and
returns into the Low Power mode.
Note:

For proper operation, the device oscillator
must be within oscillator specification in
the
time
frame
specified
in
Parameter IR140.
PHACT Signal
The PHACT signal indicates that the MCP2140 Protocol Handler is active. This output pin is an open collector, so when interfacing to the Host Controller, a pull-up
resistor is required.

Buffers and Throughput
The IR data rate of the MCP2140 is fixed at 9.6 kbaud.
The actual throughput will be less due to several factors. The most significant factors are under the control
of the developer. One factor beyond the control of the
designer is the overhead associated with the IrDA
standard. A throughput example is shown in Table 2-4.
Figure 2-9 shows the CTS waveform, what the state of
the buffers can be and the operation of the Host UART
and IR interfaces.
Figure 2-10 shows the screen-capture of a Host Controller transmitting 240 bytes. Data is not transmitted
after CTS goes high (so only a maximum of 23 bytes of
the 29 byte buffer are utilized). Between data packets,
the CTS time can vary, depending on the Primary
Device (see blue circled CTS pulse in Figure 2-10).

IMPROVING THROUGHPUT
2.10.1.1
From the Primary Device
Actual maximum throughput is dependent on several
factors, including:
The MCP2140 uses a fixed IR Receiver data block size
of 64 bytes.
• Characteristics of the Primary device
• Characteristics of the MCP2140
• IrDA standard protocol overhead
The minimum size frame the Primary device can
respond with is 6 bytes.
The IrDA standard specifies how the data is passed
between the Primary device and Secondary device. In
IrCOMM, an additional 8 bytes are used by the protocol
for each packet transfer.
The MCP2140 uses a fixed Host UART Receiver data
block size of 29 bytes.
2.10.1.2
The most significant factor in data throughput is how
well the data frames are filled. If only 1 byte is sent at a
time, the throughput overhead of the IrCOMM protocol
is 89% (see Table 2-5). The best way to maximize
throughput is to align the amounts of data with the
receive buffer (IR and Host UART) packet size of the
MCP2140.
Then there is the delay between when data packets
are sent and received. See Figure 2-10 for an example
of this delay (look at CTS signal falling edges). In this
screen capture, a Palm™ m105 is receiving a 240byte string of data from the MCP2140. When the CTS
signal goes high, the Host Controller stops sending
data (23 bytes per CTS low-time). The CTS falling
edge to CTS falling edge is approximately 90 ms (typical). This CTS high-time affects the total data throughput. The CTS high-time will be dependant on the
characteristics of the Primary device.

Turnaround Latency
An IR link can be compared to a one-wire data connection. The IR transceiver can transmit or receive, but not
both at the same time. A delay of one bit time is recommended between the time a byte is received and
another byte is transmitted.

The MCP2140 was designed to use a discrete implementation that allows the lowest system power consumption and a low cost implementation (see
Section 2.13.1, “Discrete Transceiver Solution”). It is
possible to use an integrated optical transceiver solution, with the addition of four components. Two components are required to condition the input signal to
ensure that the RXIR pulse width is not greater than
1.5 µs (see Parameter IR131A). The other two components are required to set the RXIR signal trip point
(typically VDD/2). Figure 2-12 shows an example
MCP2140 optical transceiver circuit, using a Vishay®/
Temic TFDS4500.

2.14
How The MCP2140 Connects
When two devices, implementing the IrDA standard
feature, establish a connection using the IrCOMM protocol, the process is analogous to connecting two
devices with serial ports using a cable. This is referred
to as a “point-to-point” connection. This connection is
limited to half-duplex operation because the IR transceiver cannot transmit and receive at the same time.
The purpose of the IrDA standard protocol is to allow
this half-duplex link to emulate, as much as possible, a
full-duplex connection. In general, this is done by dividing the data into “packets”, or groups of data. These
packets can be sent back and forth, when needed,
without risk of collision. The rules of how and when
these packets are sent constitute the IrDA standard
protocol. The MCP2140 supports elements of this IrDA
standard protocol to communicate with other IrDA standard compatible devices.
When a wired connection is used, the assumption is
made that both sides have the same communications
parameters and features. A wired connection has no
need to identify the other connector because it is
assumed that the connectors are properly connected.
According to the IrDA standard, a connection process
has been defined to identify other IrDA standard compatible devices and establish a communication link.
There are three steps that these two devices go
through to make this connection. They are:
• Normal Disconnect Mode (NDM)
• Discovery Mode
• Normal Connect Mode (NCM)
ports. If you used such a cell phone with a Personal
Digital Assistant (PDA), the PDA that supports the IrDA
standard feature would be the Primary device and the
cell phone would be the Secondary device.
When a Primary device polls for another device, a
nearby Secondary device may respond. When a Secondary device responds, the two devices are defined to
be in the Normal Disconnect Mode (NDM) state. NDM
is established by the Primary device broadcasting a
packet and waiting for a response. These broadcast
packets are numbered. Usually, 6 or 8 packets are sent.
The first packet is number 0, while the last packet is
usually numbered 5 or 7. Once all the packets are sent,
the Primary device sends an ID packet, which is not
numbered.
The Secondary device waits for these packets and then
responds to one of the packets. The packet responds
to determine the “timeslot” to be used by the Secondary
device. For example, if the Secondary device responds
after packet number 2, the Secondary device will use
timeslot 2. If the Secondary device responds after
packet number 0, the Secondary device will use timeslot 0. This mechanism allows the Primary device to recognize as many nearby devices as there are timeslots.
The Primary device will continue to generate timeslots
and the Secondary device should continue to respond,
even if there’s nothing to do.
Note 1: The MCP2140 can only be used to
implement a Secondary device.
2: The MCP2140 supports a system with
only one Secondary device having
exclusive use of the IrDA standard infrared link (known as “point-to-point”
communication).
Figure 2-13 shows the connection sequence.
2.14.1
NORMAL DISCONNECT MODE
(NDM)
When two IrDA standard compatible devices come into
range, they must first recognize each other. The basis
of this process is that one device has some task to
accomplish and the other device has a resource
needed to accomplish this task. One device is referred
to as a Primary device while the other is referred to as
a Secondary device. The distinction between Primary
device and Secondary device is important because it is
the responsibility of the Primary device to provide the
mechanism to recognize other devices. So the Primary
device must first poll for nearby IrDA standard compatible devices and, during this polling, the default baud
rate of 9600 baud is used by both devices.
3: The MCP2140 always responds to packet
number 0. This means that the MCP2140
will always use timeslot 0.
4: If another Secondary device is nearby,
the Primary device may fail to recognize
the MCP2140, or the Primary device may
not recognize either of the devices.
During NDM, the MCP2140 handles all responses to
the Primary device (Figure 2-13) without any communication with the Host Controller. The Host Controller is
inhibited by the CTS signal of the MCP2140 from
sending data to the MCP2140.
For example, if you want to print from an IrDA-equipped
laptop to an IrDA-equipped printer, utilizing the IrDA
standard feature, you would first bring your laptop in
range of the printer. In this case, the laptop is the one
that has something to do and the printer has the
resource to do it. Thus, the laptop is called the Primary
device and the printer is the Secondary device. Some
data-capable cellphones have IrDA standard infrared

MCP2140
2.14.2
DISCOVERY MODE
2.14.3
Discovery mode allows the Primary device to determine the capabilities of the MCP2140 (Secondary
device). Discovery mode is entered once the MCP2140
(Secondary device) has sent a XID response to the Primary device and the Primary device has completed
sending the XIDs and a Broadcast ID. If this sequence
is not completed, a Primary and Secondary device can
stay in NDM indefinitely.
When the Primary device has something to do, it
initiates Discovery, which has two parts. They are:
• Link initialization
• Resource determination
The first step is for the Primary and Secondary devices
to determine, and then adjust to, each other’s hardware
capabilities. These capabilities are parameters like:
•
•
•
•
Data rate
Turnaround time
Number of packets without a response
How long to wait before disconnecting
Note:
Once discovery has been completed, the Primary
device and MCP2140 (Secondary device) can freely
exchange data.
The MCP2140 uses a hardware handshake to stop the
local serial port from sending data when the MCP2140
Host UART Receiving buffer is full..
Note:
The MCP2140 is limited to a data rate of
9.6 kbaud.
Once the hardware parameters are established, the
Primary device must determine if the Secondary device
has the resources it requires. If the Primary device has
a job to print, it must know if it’s talking to a printer, and
not a modem or other device. This determination is
made using the Information Access Service (IAS). The
job of the Secondary device is to respond to IAS queries made by the Primary device. The Primary device
must ask a series of questions like:
Data loss will result if this hardware
handshake is not observed.
Both the Primary device and the MCP2140 (Secondary
device) check to make sure that data packets are
received by the other without errors. Even when data is
not required to be sent, the Primary and Secondary
devices will still exchange packets to ensure that the
connection hasn’t, unexpectedly, been dropped. When
the Primary device has finished, it transmits the “close
link” command to the MCP2140 (Secondary device).
The MCP2140 will confirm the “close link” command
and both the Primary device and the MCP2140 (Secondary device) will revert to the NDM state.
Note:
Both the Primary and Secondary devices begin communications at 9600 baud, the default baud rate. The
Primary device sends its parameters and the Secondary device responds with its parameters. For example,
if the Primary device supports all data rates up to
115.2 kbaud and the Secondary device only supports
9.6 kbaud, the link will be established at 9.6 kbaud.
NORMAL CONNECT MODE (NCM)
If the NCM mode is unexpectedly terminated for any reason (including the Primary
device not issuing a close link command),
the MCP2140 will revert to the NDM state
approximately 10 seconds after the last
frame has been received.
It is the responsibility of the Host Controller program to
understand the meaning of the data received and how
the program should respond to it. It’s just as if the data
were being received by the Host Controller from a
UART.
2.14.3.1
Primary Device Notification
The MCP2140 identifies itself to the Primary device as
a modem.
Note:
The MCP2140 identifies itself as a modem
to ensure that it is identified as a serial
device with a limited amount of memory.
However, the MCP2140 is not a modem, and the nondata circuits are not handled in a modem fashion.
• What is the name of your service?
• What is the address of this service?
• What are the capabilities of this device?
When all the Primary device’s questions are answered,
the Primary device can access the service provided by
the Secondary device.
During Discovery mode, the MCP2140 handles all
responses to the Primary device (see Figure 2-13)
without any communication with the Host Controller.
The Host Controller is inhibited by the CTS signal of the
MCP2140 from sending data to the MCP2140.

Note 1: Data in the Typical (“Typ”) column is at 5V, 25C unless otherwise stated. These parameters are for design
guidance only and are not tested.
2: All specified values are based on oscillator characterization data under standard operating conditions.
Exceeding these specified limits may result in unstable oscillator operation and/or higher than expected
current consumption. When an external clock input is used, the “max” cycle time limit is “DC” (no clock) for
all devices.
3: A duty cycle of no more than 60% (High time/Low time or Low time/High time) is recommended for external
clock inputs.

B.1.1
The MCP2140 provides the following Physical Signal
Layer specification support:
Tiny Transport Protocol (Tiny TP)
Supported by
the MCP2140
• Tiny TP
• IrCOMM
MCP2140 supports 9600 Baud only.
The following Physical Layer Specification is dependant on the optical transceiver logic used in the
application. The specification states:
• Communication Range, which sets the end user
expectation for discovery, recognition and
performance.
- Continuous operation from contact to at least
1 meter (typically 2 meters can be reached)
- A low power specification reduces the objective for operation from contact to at least
20 cm (low power and low power) or 30 cm
(low power and standard power)
Preliminary

B.1.2
IrLAP
The IrLAP protocol provides:
• Management of communication processes on the
link between devices
• A device-to-device connection for the reliable,
ordered transfer of data
• Device discover procedures
• Hidden node handling. 115.2 kbaud
Note:
Not supported by MCP2140.
Figure B-3 identifies the key parts and hierarchy of the
IrDA protocols. The bottom layer is the Physical layer,
IrPHY. This is the part that converts the serial data to
and from pulses of IR light. IR transceivers can’t transmit and receive at the same time. The receiver has to
wait for the transmitter to finish sending. This is sometimes referred to as a “Half-Duplex” connection. The IR
Link Access Protocol (IrLAP) provides the structure for
packets (or “frames”) of data to emulate data that would
normally be free to stream back and forth.
FIGURE B-3:
IrDA STANDARD PROTOCOL
LAYERS
Figure B-4 shows how the IrLAP frame is organized.
The frame is preceded by some number of Beginning
of Frame characters (BOFs). The value of the BOF is
generally 0xC0, but 0xFF may be used if the last BOF
character is a 0xC0. The purpose of multiple BOFs is to
give the other station some warning that a frame is
coming.
The IrLAP frame begins with an address byte (“A”
field), then a control byte (“C” field). The control byte is
used to differentiate between different types of frames
and is also used to count frames. Frames can carry status, data or commands. The IrLAP protocol has a command syntax of it’s own. These commands are part of
the control byte. Lastly, IrLAP frames carry data. This
data is the information (or “I”) field. The integrity of the
frame is ensured with a 16-bit CRC, referred to as the
Frame Check Sequence (FCS). The 16-bit CRC value
is transmitted LSB first. The end of the frame is marked
with an EOF character, which is always a 0xC1. The
frame structure described here is used for all versions
of IrDA protocols used for serial wire replacement for
speeds up to 115.2 kbaud.

In addition to defining the frame structure, IrLAP provides the “housekeeping” functions of opening, closing
and maintaining connections. The critical parameters
that determine the performance of the link are part of
this function. These parameters control how many
BOFs are used, identify the speed of the link, how fast
either party may change from receiving to transmitting,
etc. IrLAP has the responsibility of negotiating these
parameters to the highest common set so that both
sides can communicate as quickly and reliably as
possible.

IrLMP
B.1.4
The IrLMP protocol provides:
• Multiplexing of the IrLAP layer. This allows
multiple channels above an IrLAP connection.
• Protocol and service discovery. This is
accomplished via the Information Access Service
(IAS).
When two devices that contain the IrDA standard feature are connected, there is generally one device that
has something to do and the other device that has the
resource to do it. For example, a laptop may have a job
to print and an IrDA standard compatible printer has the
resources to print it. In IrDA standard terminology, the
laptop is a Primary device and the printer is the Secondary device. When these two devices connect, the
Primary device must determine the capabilities of the
Secondary device to determine if the Secondary device
is capable of doing the job. This determination is made
by the Primary device asking the Secondary device a
series of questions. Depending on the answers to
these questions, the Primary device may or may not
elect to connect to the Secondary device.
The queries from the Primary device are carried to the
Secondary device using IrLMP. The responses to these
queries can be found in the Information Access Service
(IAS) of the Secondary device. The IAS is a list of the
resources of the Secondary device. The Primary
device compares the IAS responses with its requirements and then makes the decision if a connection
should be made.
FIGURE B-5:
LINK MANAGEMENT INFORMATION ACCESS SERVICE
(LM-IAS)
Each LM-IAS entity maintains an information database
to provide:
• Information on services for other devices that
contain the IrDA standard feature (Discovery)
• Information on services for the device itself
• Remote accessing of another device’s information
base
This is required so that clients on a remote device can
find configuration information needed to access a
service.

TINY TP
Tiny TP provides the flow control on IrLMP connections. An optional service of Segmentation and
Reassembly can be handled.

IRCOMM
IrCOMM provides the method to support serial and parallel port emulation. This is useful for legacy COM
applications, such as printers and modem devices.
The IrCOMM standard is a syntax that allows the Primary device to consider the Secondary device a serial
device. IrCOMM allows for emulation of serial or
parallel (printer) connections of various capabilities.

APPENDIX C:
HOW DEVICES
CONNECT
tant (PDA), the PDA that supports the IrDA standard
feature would be the Primary device and the cell phone
would be the Secondary device.
When two devices implementing the IrDA standard feature establish a connection using the IrCOMM protocol,
the process is analogous to connecting two devices
with serial ports using a cable. This is referred to as a
“point-to-point” connection. This connection is limited
to half-duplex operation because the IR transceiver
cannot transmit and receive at the same time. The purpose of the IrDA protocols is to allow this half-duplex
link to emulate, as much as possible, a full-duplex connection. In general, this is done by dividing the data into
“packets”, or groups of data. These packets can then
be sent back and forth, when needed, without risk of
collision. The rules of how and when these packets are
sent constitute the IrDA protocols.
When a wired connection is used, the assumption is
made that both sides have the same communications
parameters and features. A wired connection has no
need to identify the other connector because it is
assumed that the connectors are properly connected.
In the IrDA standard, a connection process has been
defined to identify other IrDA compatible devices and
establish a communication link. There are three steps
that these two devices go through to make this
connection. They are:
When a Primary device polls for another device, a
nearby Secondary device may respond. When a Secondary device responds, the two devices are defined to
be in the Normal Disconnect Mode (NDM) state. NDM
is established by the Primary device broadcasting a
packet and waiting for a response. These broadcast
packets are numbered. Usually 6 or 8 packets are sent.
The first packet is number 0, the last packet is usually
number 5 or 7. Once all the packets are sent, the Primary device sends an ID packet, which is not numbered.
The Secondary device waits for these packets and then
responds to one of the packets. The packet responds
to determines the “timeslot” to be used by the Secondary device. For example, if the Secondary device
responds after packet number 2, then the Secondary
device will use timeslot 2. If the Secondary device
responds after packet number 0, then the Secondary
device will use timeslot 0. This mechanism allows the
Primary device to recognize as many nearby devices
as there are timeslots. The Primary device will continue
to generate timeslots and the Secondary device should
continue to respond, even if there’s nothing to do.
Note 1: The MCP2140 can only be used to
implement a Secondary device.
• Normal Disconnect Mode (NDM)
• Discovery Mode
• Normal Connect Mode (NCM)
Figure C-1 shows the connection sequence.
C.1
Normal Disconnect Mode (NDM)
When two IrDA standard compatible devices come into
range they must first recognize each other. The basis
of this process is that one device has some task to
accomplish and the other device has a resource
needed to accomplish this task. One device is referred
to as a Primary device and the other is referred to as a
Secondary device. This distinction between Primary
device and Secondary device is important. It is the
responsibility of the Primary device to provide the
mechanism to recognize other devices. So the Primary
device must first poll for nearby IrDA standard compatible devices. During this polling, the default baud rate of
9600 baud is used by both devices.
2: The MCP2140 supports a system with
only one Secondary device having exclusive use of the IrDA standard infrared link
(known as “point-to-point” communication).
3: The MCP2140 always responds to packet
number 2. This means that the MCP2140
will always use timeslot 2.
4: If another Secondary device is nearby,
the Primary device may fail to recognize
the MCP2140, or the Primary device may
not recognize either of the devices.
For example, if you want to print from an IrDA equipped
laptop to an IrDA printer, utilizing the IrDA standard feature, you would first bring your laptop in range of the
printer. In this case, the laptop is the one that has
something to do and the printer has the resource to do
it. The laptop is called the Primary device and the
printer is the Secondary device. Some data-capable
cell phones have IrDA standard infrared ports. If you
used such a cell phone with a Personal Digital Assis-

C.2
Discovery Mode
C.3
Discovery mode allows the Primary device to determine the capabilities of the MCP2140 (Secondary
device). Discovery mode is entered once the MCP2140
(Secondary device) has sent an XID response to the
Primary device and the Primary device has completed
sending the XIDs and then sends a Broadcast ID. If this
sequence is not completed, then a Primary and
Secondary device can stay in NDM indefinitely.
When the Primary device has something to do, it
initiates Discovery. Discovery has two parts. They are:
• Link initialization
• Resource determination
The first step is for the Primary and Secondary devices
to determine, and then adjust to, each other’s hardware
capabilities. These capabilities are parameters like:
•
•
•
•
Normal Connect Mode (NCM)
Once discovery has been completed, the Primary
device and Secondary device can freely exchange
data.
Both the Primary device and the Secondary device
check to make sure that data packets are received by
the other without errors. Even when data is required to
be sent, the Primary and Secondary devices will still
exchange packets to ensure that the connection hasn’t,
unexpectedly, been dropped. When the Primary device
has finished, it then transmits the close link command
to the Secondary device. The Secondary device will
confirm the close link command and both the Primary
device and the Secondary device will revert to the NDM
state.
Note:
Data rate
Turn around time
Number of packets without a response
How long to wait before disconnecting
If the NCM mode is unexpectedly terminated for any reason (including the Primary
device not issuing a close link command),
the Secondary device will revert to the
NDM state after a time delay (after the last
frame has been received).
Both the Primary and Secondary device begin communications at 9600 baud, which is the default baud rate.
The Primary device sends its parameters, then the
Secondary device responds with its parameters. For
example, if the Primary supports all data rates up to
115.2 kbaud and the Secondary device only supports
9.6 kbaud, the link will be established at 9.6 kbaud.
Note:
The MCP2140 is limited to a data rate of
9.6 kbaud.
Once the hardware parameters are established, the
Primary device must determine if the Secondary device
has the resources it requires. If the Primary device has
a job to print, then it must know if it’s talking to a printer,
not a modem or other device. This determination is
made using the Information Access Service (IAS). The
job of the Secondary device is to respond to IAS queries made by the Primary device. The Primary device
must ask a series of questions like:
• What is the name of your service?
• What is the address of this service?
• What are the capabilities of this device?
When all the Primary device’s questions are answered,
the Primary device can access the service provided by
the Secondary device.
