TFDU8108
Vishay Semiconductors
Very Fast Infrared Transceiver Module (VFIR, 16 Mbit/s)
IrDA® Serial Interface Compatible
2.7 V to 5.5 V Supply Voltage Range
Description
The TFDU8108 transceiver is part of a family of low
power consumption infrared transceiver modules. It is
compliant to the IrDA physical layer standard for VFIR
infrared data communication, supporting IrDA speeds
up to 16 Mbit/s (VFIR) and carrier based remote control modes up to 2 MHz. Integrated within the transceiver module are a PIN photodiode, an infrared emitter (IRED), and a low-power control IC.
At a minimum, a Vcc bypass capacitor is the only
external component required implementing a complete solution. For limiting the transceiver’s internal
power dissipation one additional resistor might be
necessary. The transceiver can be operated with
logic I/O voltages as low as 1.8 V.

Definitions:
In the Vishay transceiver data sheets the following nomenclature is
• VFIR: 16 Mbit/s
used for defining the IrDA operating modes:
MIR and FIR were implement with IrPhy 1.1, followed by IrPhy 1.2,
• SIR: 2.4 kbit/s to 115.2 kbit/s, equivalent to the ba-
adding the SIR Low Power Standard. IrPhy 1.3 extended the Low
sic serial infrared standard with the physical layer
Power Option to MIR and FIR and VFIR was added with IrPhy 1.4.
A new version of the standard in any case obsoletes the former ver-
version IrPhy 1.0
• MIR: 576 kbit/s to 1152 kbit/s
sion.
• FIR: 4 Mbit/s

The generic IrDA "Serial Interface programming"
needs no special settings for the device. Only the current control table must be taken into account. For the
description see the Appendix A, B and C and the IrDA
document "Serial Interface specification for transceivers"
Figure 3. Recommended Application Circuit
All external components (R, C) are optional
Vishay 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 must be avoided. The
inputs (TXD, SCLK) and the output RXD should be
directly DC-coupled to the I/O circuit.
R1 is used for reducing the power dissipation when
operating the device at a supply voltage of VCC2 > 4 V.
For increasing the max. output power of the IRED, the
value of the resistor should be reduced. It should be
dimensioned to keep the IRED anode voltage below
4 V for using the full temperature range. For device
and eye protection the pulse duration and current are
internally limited.
R2, C1 and C2 are optional and dependent on the
quality of the supply voltage VCC1 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.

Temperature/°C
Lead (Pb)-Free, Recommended Solder Profile
The TFDU8108 is a lead (Pb)-free transceiver and
qualified for lead (Pb)-free processing. For lead (Pb)free solder paste like Sn (3.0 - 4.0) Ag (0.5 - 0.9) Cu,
there are two standard reflow profiles: Ramp-SoakSpike (RSS) and Ramp-To-Spike (RTS). The RampSoak-Spike profile was developed primarily for reflow
ovens heated by infrared radiation. With widespread
use of forced convection reflow ovens the Ramp-ToSpike profile is used increasingly. Shown below in figure 5 and 6 are VISHAY's recommended profiles for
use with the TFDU8108 transceivers. For more
details please refer to the application note
“SMD Assembly Instructions”
(http://www.vishay.com/docs/82602/82602.pdf).
A ramp-up rate less than 0.9 °C/s is not recommended. Ramp-up rates faster than 1.3 °C/s could
damage an optical part because the thermal conductivity is less than compared to a standard IC.

Serial Interface Implementation
Basics of the IrDA Definitions
The data lines are multiplexed with the transmitter
and receiver signals and separate clocks are used
since the transceivers respond to the same address.
When no infrared communication is in progress and
the serial bus is idle, the IRTX line is kept low and
IRRX is kept high.

Functional description
The serial interface is designed to interconnect two or
more devices. One of the devices is always in control
of the serial interface and is responsible for starting
every transaction. This device functions as the bus
master and is always the infrared controller. The infrared transceivers act as bus slaves and only respond
to transactions initiated by the master. A bus transaction is made up of one or two phases. The first phase
is the Command Phase and is present in every transaction. The second phase is the Response Phase
and is present only in those transactions in which data
must be returned from the slave. If the operation
involves a data transfer from the slave, there will be a
Response Phase following the Command Phase in
which the slave will output the data.
The Response Phase, if present, must begin 4 clock
cycles after the last bit of the Command Phase, as
shown in figures 16 and 17, otherwise it is assumed
that there will be no response phase and the master
can terminate the transaction.
Document Number 82558
Rev. 1.8, 16-Mar-07
The SCLK line is always driven by the master and is
used to clock the data being written to or read from
the slave.
This line is driven by a totem-pole output buffer. The
SCLK line is always stopped when the serial interface
is idle to minimize power consumption and to avoid
any interference with the analog circuitry inside the
slave. There are no gaps between the bytes in either
the Command or Response Phase. Data is always
transferred in Little Endian order (least significant bit
first). Input data is sampled on the rising edge of
SCLK. IRTX/SWDAT output data from the controller
is clocked by SCLK falling edge. IRRX/SRDAT output
data from the slave is clocked by SCLK rising edge.
Each byte of data in both Command and Response
Phases is preceded by one start bit. The data to be
written to the slave is carried on the IRTX/SWDAT
line. When the control interface is idle, this line carries
the infrared data signal used to drive the transmitter
LED. When the first low-to-high transition on SCLK is
detected at the beginning of the command sequence,
the slave will disable the transmitter LED. When the
first low-to-high transition on SCLK is detected at the
beginning of the command sequence, the slave will
disable the transmitter LED. The infrared controller
then outputs the command string on the IRTX/
SWDAT line. On the last SCLK cycle of the command
sequence the slave re-enables the transmitter LED
and normal infrared transmission can resume. No
transition on SCLK must occur until the next command sequence otherwise the slave will disable the
transmitter LED again. Read data is carried on the
IRRX/SRDAT line. The slave disables the internal signal from the receiver photo diode during the response
phase of a read transaction. The addressed slave will
output the read data on the IRRX/SRDAT line regardless of the setting of the Receiver Output Enable bit in
the main control register (main-ctrl-0). Non addressed
slaves will tri-state the IRRX/SRDAT line. When the
transceiver is powered up, the IRTX/SWDAT line
should be kept low and SCLK should be cycled at
least 30 times by the infrared controller before the first
command is issued on the IRTX/SWDAT line, see figure 18. This guarantees that the transceiver interface
circuitry will properly initialize and be ready to receive
commands from the controller. In case of a multiple
transceiver configuration, only one transceiver should
have the receiver output enabled.

A series resistor (approx. 200 Ω) should be placed on
the receiver output from each transceiver to prevent
large currents in case a conflict occurs due to a programming error.
Note: Generally the abbreviations IRTX/IRRX and TXD/RXD are
used for the data transmission lines for the optical communication.
IRTX/IRRX is mostly used at the controller, TXD/RXD at the transceiver

Serial Interface Capability of the Vishay
IrDA Transceivers
Abstract
A serial interface allows an infrared controller to communicate with one or more infrared transceivers. The
basic specification of the IrDA specified interface is
described in "Serial Interface for Transceiver Control,
v 1.0a", IrDA.
This part of the document describes the capabilities of
the serial interface implemented in the Vishay IrDA
transceivers TFDU8108. The VFIR (16 Mbit/s) device
TFDU8108 and the FIR device TFDU6108 (4 Mbit/s)
are using the same interface specification (with specific identification and programming).
IrDA Serial Interface Basics
The "Serial Interface for Transceiver Control" is a
master/slave synchronous serial bus, which uses the
TXD and RXD as data lines and the SCLK as clock
line with a minimum period of 250 ns. The transceiver
works always as slave and jumps into a control mode
on the first rising edge of the clock line remaining
there until the command phase is finished. After
power-on, it is required to initialize the transceiver by
at least 30 clock cycles of SCLK with TXD continuously low before starting programming.
If TXD gets active (high) during the initialization period
the initialization must be repeated.
A data word consists of one byte preceded by one
start bit.
The specified serial interface allows the communication between infrared controller and transceiver
through write and read transactions. In two register
blocks with different functions all data is stored for
operating the interface. The Main Control Registers
allow write and read transactions and here the executable configuration of the device is stored. The
Extended Indexed Registers contain the description
of the supported functionality of the device and can be
read only.
Power-on
After power on the transceiver is in the default mode
shown in table B1.
Addressing
The transceiver is addressable by three address bits.
There are individual and common addresses with the
values shown in table B2.
Registers Data Depth
In general data registers use a data depth of eight
bits. Sometimes it is not necessary to implement the
full depth. In such cases the invisible bits are considered as a zero.
Registers
The register content is listed in the tables B4 to B7.
Data Acknowledgment
Data acknowledgement generated by the slave is
available if the APEN bit is set to 1 in the common
control register, see the "main_ctrl_0" register values
table B4. In IrDA default state this functionality is disabled. It is recommended to enable this function.

all 1s into the normal index location, thus INDEX[3:0] = Fh. It is an 8 bit address value, which must be followed by 3 SCLK cycles plus a
start clock before reading the DATA value. As in the normal Read Transaction, the input signal, TXD, must be set one clock cycle on LOW
(master ready to receive) and then on HIGH for the next 3 SCLKs and continuing through the entire Response Phase. The corresponding
reaction of the RXD line and the 8 bit DATA value is then read out as depicted below, noting that the Read Data value comes after the 3
SCLK cycles.

Invalid Commands Handling
Reset
Commands and register addresses, which cannot be
encoded by the Serial Interface, are ignored by the
internal logic as invalid data. Below the different types
invalid command handling and the slave reaction is
shown.
Two ways to set the serial interface into a defined
state are available: The brute force method is to
switch the power off and on and let the device recover
in the default state. The software method is to set the
IRTX/SWDAT line low for ≥ 30 clock cycles of the
clock line. If this line is detected as low for ≥ 30 clock
cycles the transceiver is set into the command start
state and all registers are set to the as default implemented values.

Serial Interface Programming Guide
The serial interface port of TFDU8108 enables an
interface controller to communicate using a standardized protocol, recall module ID and capability information, and implement receiver bandwidth mode switching, LED power control, shutdown and some other
functions.
This interface requires three signal lines: a clock line
(SCLK) that is used for timing, and two unidirectional
lines multiplexed with the transmitter (TXD, write) and
receiver (RXD, read) signal lines.
Programming sequence formats supported are
• one-byte special commands
• two-byte write commands
• two-byte read commands
• three-byte read commands
One-byte special command sequences are reserved
for time-critical actions, while the two-byte write command is predominantly used to set basic transceiver
characteristics. More information can be found in the
IrDA document "Serial Interface for Transceiver Control, v 1.0a" on http://www.IrDA.org.
Serial Interface Timing Specifications
In general, serial interface programming sequences
are similar to any clocked-data protocol:
• there is a range of acceptable clock rates, measured from rising edge to rising edge
• there is a minimum data setup time before clock
rising edges
• there is a minimum data hold time after clock rising
edges
Recommended programming timing:
• fSCLK < 8 MHz (according to the Serial Interface
Standard, quasi-static programming is possible)
• TSCLK > 125 ns,
• Tsetup > 10 ns,
• Thold > 10 ns
The timing diagrams, see figure 22, show the setup
and hold time for the serial interface programming
sequences.

Figure 22. Programming Sequence
Protocol Specifications
The serial interface protocol is a command-based
communication standard and allows for the communication between controller and transceiver by way of
serial programming sequences on the clock (SCLK),
transmit (TXD), and receive (RXD) lines. The SCLK
line is used as a clocking signal and the transmit/
receive lines are used to write/read data information.
The protocol requires all transceivers to implement
the write commands, but does not require the readportion of the protocol to be implemented (though all
transceivers must at least follow the various commands, even if they perform no internal action as a
result). This serial interface follows but does not support all read/ write commands or extended commands, supporting only the special commands and
basic write/read commands. Write commands to the
transceiver take place on the SCLK and TXD lines
and may use the RXD line for acknowledgment. A
command may be directed to a single transceiver on
the SCLK, TXD and RXD bus by specifying a unique
three-bit transceiver address, or a command may be
directed to all transceivers on the bus by way of a special three-bit broadcast address code. The Vishay
VFIR transceiver TFDU8108 will respond to transceiver address 010 and the broadcast address 111
only; it ignores all other transceiver addresses.

Transceiver
Address
The bits shown are placed on the TXD (DATA) line
and clocked into the transceiver using the rising edge
of the SCLK signal. Only the data bits are shown as it
is assumed that a clock is always present, and that
the transceiver samples the data on the rising edge of
each clock pulse.
Note: as illustrated in the diagram above, the protocol uses "Little
Endian" ordering of bits, so that the LSB is sent first, and the MSB
is sent last for register addresses, transceiver addresses, and read/
write data bytes. The notation that follows presents all addresses
and data in LSB-to-MSB order (bits 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 7) unless otherwise
stated.

One-byte Special Commands
One-byte special commands are used for time-critical
transceiver commands, such as full transceiver reset.
A total of six special commands are possible, although only one command is available on the
TFDU8108.

Two-byte Write Commands
Two-byte write commands are used for setting the
contents of transceiver registers which control transceiver such as shutdown/enable, receiver mode, LED
power level, etc. The register space requires four register address bits (INDEX), although three codes are
used for controlling the transceiver (see above). The
1111 escape code is for extended commands. The 3bit transceiver address (ADDR) is for selecting the
destination, e.g. 010 to TFDU8108 and 001 to
TFDU6108. The second byte is data field (DATA) for
setting the characteristics of the transceiver module,
e.g. SIR mode (00) or VFIR (05) when the register
address is 0001.
The basic two-byte write command is illustrated

Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement
It is the policy of Vishay Semiconductor GmbH to
1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.
2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating
systems with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as
their impact on the environment.
It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are
known as ozone depleting substances (ODSs).
The Montreal Protocol (1987) and its London Amendments (1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs
and forbid their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an
earlier ban on these substances.
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use
of ODSs listed in the following documents.
1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments
respectively
2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA
3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively.
Vishay Semiconductor GmbH can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting
substances and do not contain such substances.
We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design
and may do so without further notice.
Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer
application by the customer. Should the buyer use Vishay Semiconductors products for any unintended or
unauthorized application, the buyer shall indemnify Vishay Semiconductors against all claims, costs, damages,
and expenses, arising out of, directly or indirectly, any claim of personal damage, injury or death associated
with such unintended or unauthorized use.
