– Depth: 2.80 mm
• Miniature package (with shield)
– Height: 1.80 mm
– Width: 7.40 mm
– Depth: 2.90 mm
• Guaranteed temperature performance, -25 to +70°C
– Critical parameters are guaranteed over temperature
and supply voltage
• Low power consumption
– Low shutdown current (1 nA typical)
– Complete shutdown of TXD, RXD, and PIN diode
• Withstands >100 mVp-p power supply ripple typically
• Excellent EMI performance without shield

Notes:
1. This pin can be connected directly to VCC (i.e. without series resistor) at less than 3 V.
2. Leave this pin unconnected.
3. This pin is used to transmit serial data when SD pin is low. Do not float the pin. This pin has an internal 500 kΩ pulldown with a typical input
capacitance of 2 pF.
4. This pin is capable of driving a standard CMOS or TTL load. No external pull-up or pull down resistor is required. It is in tri-state
mode when the transceiver is in shutdown mode. This pin tristates with a weak 500 kΩ pullup resistor.
5. The transceiver is in shutdown mode if this pin is high. Do not float the pin.
6. Regulated, 2.4 to 3.6 volts.
7. Connect to system ground.

The reflow profile is a straightline representation of a nominal
temperature profile for a
convective reflow solder process.
The temperature profile is divided
into four process zones, each
with different ΔT/Δtime temperature change rates. The ΔT/Δtime
rates are detailed in the above
table. The temperatures are
measured at the component to
printed circuit board connections.
In process zone P1, the PC
board and HSDL-3208 castellation I/O pins are heated to a
temperature of 160°C to activate
the flux in the solder paste. The
temperature ramp up rate, R1, is
limited to 4°C per second to allow
for even heating of both the PC
board and HSDL-3208
castellation I/O pins.
12
Process zone P2 should be of
sufficient time duration (60 to
120 seconds) to dry the solder
paste. The temperature is raised
to a level just below the liquidus
point of the solder, usually 200°C
(392°F).
Process zone P3 is the solder
reflow zone. In zone P3, the
temperature is quickly raised
above the liquidus point of solder
to 255°C (491°F) for optimum
results. The dwell time above the
liquidus point of solder should be
between 20 and 60 seconds. It
usually takes about 20 seconds to
assure proper coalescing of the
solder balls into liquid solder and
the formation of good solder
connections. Beyond a dwell time
of 60 seconds, the intermetallic
growth within the solder
connections becomes excessive,
resulting in the formation of weak
and unreliable connections. The
temperature is then rapidly
reduced to a point below the
solidus temperature of the solder,
usually 200°C (392°F), to allow
the solder within the connections
to freeze solid.
Process zone P4 is the cool
down after solder freeze. The
cool down rate, R5, from the
liquidus point of the solder to
25°C (77°F) should not exceed
6°C per second maximum. This
limitation is necessary to allow
the PC board and HSDL-3208
castellation I/O pins to change
dimensions evenly, putting
minimal stresses on the HSDL3208 transceiver.

Appendix B: PCB Layout
Suggestion
The HSDL-3208 is a shieldless part
and hence does not contain a shield
trace, unlike the other transceivers.
The following PCB layout guidelines should be followed to obtain a
good PSRR and EM immunity,
resulting in good electrical
performance. Things to note:
1. The AGND pin should be
connected to the ground plane.
ground connected board layers.
Refer to the diagram below for
an example of a 4-layer board.
The area underneath the module at
the second layer, and 3 cm in all
directions around the module, is
defined as the critical ground plane
zone. The ground plane should be
maximized in this zone. Refer to
application note AN1114 or the
Lite-On IrDA Data Link Design
Guide for details. The layout below
is based on a 2-layer PCB.
2. C1 and C2 are optional supply
filter capacitors; they may be left
out if a clean power supply is
used.

3. VLED can be connected to either
unfiltered or unregulated power
supply. If VLED and VCC share
the same power supply and C1 is
used, the connection should be
before the current limiting
resistor R2. In a noisy environment, including capacitor C2 can
enhance supply rejection. C1 is
generally a ceramic capacitor of
low inductance providing a wide
frequency response while C2 is a
tantalum capacitor of big volume
and fast frequency response. The
use of a tantalum capacitor is
more critical on the VLED line,
which carries a high current.
4. Preferably a multi-layered board
should be used to provide
sufficient ground plane. Use the
layer underneath and near the
transceiver module as VCC, and
sandwich that layer between

Compliant 115.2 kb/s
Transceiver
Description
The HSDL-3208 is an ultra-small
low-cost infrared transceiver
module that provides the interface
between logic and infrared (IR)
signals for through air, serial,
half-duplex IR data link. The
device is designed to address the
mobile computing market such as
PDAs, as well as small embedded
mobile products such as digital
cameras and cellular phones. It is
fully compliant to IrDA 1.4 low
power specification from 9.6 kb/s
to 115.2 kb/s, and supports HPSIR and TV Remote modes. The
design of the HSDL-3208 also
includes the following unique
features:
Interface to Recommended I/O Chips
The HSDL-3208’s TXD data input
is buffered to allow for CMOS
drive levels. No peaking circuit or
capacitor is required.
Data rate from 9.6 kb/s up to
115.2 kb/s is available at the RXD
pin.
• Low passive component count
• Shutdown mode for low power
consumption requirement

Appendix D: Window Designs for HSDL-3208
Optical port dimensions for
HSDL-3208:
To ensure IrDA compliance, some
constraints on the height and width
of the window exist. The minimum
dimensions ensure that the IrDA
cone angles are met without
vignetting. The maximum
dimensions minimize the effects of
stray light. The minimum size
corresponds to a cone angle of 30°
and the maximum size corresponds
to a cone angle of 60°.
In the figure below, X is the width
of the window, Y is the height of
the window and Z is the distance

from the HSDL-3208 to the back of
the window. The distance from the
center of the LED lens to the
center of the photodiode lens, K, is
5.1 mm. The equations for
computing the window dimensions
are as follows:
comparable, Z' replaces Z in the
above equation. Z' is defined as
Z' = Z + t/n
where ‘t’ is the thickness of the
window and ‘n’ is the refractive
index of the window material.
X = K + 2*(Z + D)*tanA
Y = 2*(Z + D)*tanA
The above equations assume that
the thickness of the window is
negligible compared to the
distance of the module from the
back of the window (Z). If they are
The depth of the LED image inside
the HSDL-3208, D, is 3.17 mm.
‘A’ is the required half angle for
viewing. For IrDA compliance, the
minimum is 150 and the maximum
is 300. Assuming the thickness of
the window to be negligible, the
equations result in the following
tables and graphs:

Window Material
Almost any plastic material will
work as a window material.
Polycarbonate is recommended.
The surface finish of the plastic
should be smooth, without any
texture. An IR filter dye may be
used in the window to make it look
black to the eye, but the total
optical loss of the window should
be 10% or less for best optical
performance. Light loss should be
measured at 875 nm.
The recommended plastic
materials for use as a cosmetic
window are available from General
Electric Plastics.
Shape of the Window
From an optics standpoint, the
window should be flat. This
ensures that the window will not
alter either the radiation pattern of
the LED, or the receive pattern of
the photodiode.
If the window must be curved for
mechanical or industrial design
reasons, place the same curve on
the back side of the window that
has an identical radius as the front
side. While this will not completely
eliminate the lens effect of the
front curved surface, it will
significantly reduce the effects.
The amount of change in the
radiation pattern is dependent
upon the material chosen for the
window, the radius of the front and
back curves, and the distance from
the back surface to the transceiver.
Once these items are known, a lens
design can be made which will
eliminate the effect of the front
surface curve.
The following drawings show the
effects of a curved window on the
radiation pattern. In all cases, the
center thickness of the window is
1.5 mm, the window is made of
polycarbonate plastic, and the
distance from the transceiver to
the back surface of the window is
3 mm.
