HSDL-3021
IrDA® Data Compliant Low Power 4.0 Mbit/s
with Remote Control Infrared Transceiver
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The HSDL-3021 is a new generation low profile
high speed enhanced infrared (IR) transceiver module that provides the capability of (1) interface between logic and IR signals for through-air, serial, half-
duplex IR data link, and (2) IR remote control transmission for universal remote control applications. The HSDL3021 can be used for IrDA as well as remote control application without the need of any additional external
components for multiplexing.
General Features
The HSDL-3021 is fully compliant to IrDA® Physical Layer
specification version 1.4 low power from 9.6 kbit/s to
4.0 Mbit/s (FIR) and IEC825 Class 1 eye safety standards.
The HSDL-3021 can be shut down completely to achieve
very low power consumption. In the shut-down mode,
the PIN diode will be inactive and thus produce very little
photocurrent even under very bright ambient light. It is
also designed to interface to input/output logic circuits
as low as 1.5 V. These features are ideal for battery operated mobile devices such as PDAs and mobile phones
that require low power consumption.

Notes
Notes:
1. Tied through external resistor, R2, to Vled. Refer to the table below for recommended series resistor value.
2. Connect to ASIC logic controller supply voltage or VCC. The voltage at this pin should be equal to or less than VCC.
3. This pin is used to transmit serial data when SD pin is low. If held high for longer than 50 µs, the LED is turned off. Do NOT float this pin.
4. This pin is capable of driving a standard CMOS or TTL load. No external pull-up or pull-down resistor is required. The pin is in tri-state when the
transceiver is in shutdown mode.
5. Complete shutdown of IC and PIN diode. The pin is used for setting IR receiver bandwidth, range of IR LED current and RC drive programming
mode. Refer to section on “Bandwidth Selection Timing” and “Remote Control Drive Modes” for more information. Do NOT float this pin. ***
6. Regulated, 2.4 V to 3.6 V.
7. Logic high turns on the RC LED. If held high longer than 50 µs, the RC LED is turned off. Do NOT float the pin.
8. Connect to system ground.
9. Connect to system ground via a low inductance trace. For best performance, do not connect directly to the transceiver GND pin.

The reflow profile is a straight-line representation of a
nominal temperature profile for a convective reflow solder process. The temperature profile is divided into four
process zones, each with different DT/Dtime temperature change rates, or duration. The DT/Dtime rates, or duration, 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-3021 pins are
heated to a temperature of 150°C to activate the flux in
the solder paste. The temperature ramp up rate, R1, is
limited to 3°C per second to allow for even heating of
both the PC board and HSDL-3021 pins.
Process zone P2 should be of sufficient time duration (100
to 180 seconds) to dry the solder paste. The temperature
is raised to a level just below the liquidus point of the
solder.
Process zone P3 is the solder reflow zone. In zone P3, the
temperature is quickly raised above the liquidus point
of solder to 260°C (500°F) for optimum results. The dwell
time above the liquidus point of solder should be between 60 and 90 seconds. This is to assure proper coalescing of the solder paste into liquid solder and the
formation of good solder connections. Beyond the recommended dwell time, 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 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-3021 pins to change dimensions evenly, putting minimal stresses on the HSDL-3021.
It is recommended to perform reflow soldering no more
than twice.

It is recommended that only a 0.152 mm (0.006 inch) or
a 0.127 mm (0.005 inch) thick stencil be used for solder
paste printing. This is to ensure adequate printed solder
paste volume and no shorting. See Table 1 below the
drawing for combinations of metal stencil aperture and
metal stencil thickness that should be used. Aperture
opening for shield pad is 3.05 mm x 1.1 mm as per land

Adjacent Land Keepout and Solder Mask Areas
Adjacent land keepout is the maximum space occupied
by the unit relative to the land pattern. There should be
no other SMD components within this area. The minimum solder resist strip width required to avoid solder
bridging adjacent pads is 0.2 mm. It is recommended
that two fiducial crosses be placed at mid length of the
pads for unit alignment.

Appendix B: PCB Layout Suggestion
The effects of EMI and power supply noise can potentially reduce the sensitivity of the receiver, resulting in reduced link distance. The PCB layout played an important
role to obtain a good PSRR and EM immunity resulting in
good electrical performance. Things to note:
1. The ground plane should be continuous under the
part, but should not extend under the shield trace.
2. The shield trace is a wide, low inductance trace back
to the system ground. CX1, CX2, CX3, CX4 and CX5 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. The bypass capacitors
should be connection before the current limiting
resistor R2 respectively. In a noisy environment,
including capacitor CX3and CX4 can enhance supply
rejection. CX3 that is generally a ceramic capacitor of
low inductance providing a wide frequency response
while CX4 is 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. VCC pin can be connected to either unfiltered or
unregulated power supply. The Resistor, R1 together
with the capacitors, CX1 and CX2 acts as the low pass
filter.
5. IOVCC is connected to the ASIC voltage supply or the
VCC supply. The capacitor, CX5 acts as the bypass
capacitor.
6. 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 ground connected
board layers. The diagram below demonstrate an
example of a 4 layer board:
15
• Top Layer: Connect the metal shield and module
ground pin to bottom ground layer; Place the bypass
capacitors within 0.5 cm from the VCC and ground pin
of the module.
• Layer 2: Critical ground plane zone. 3 cm in all directions
around the module. Connect to a clean, noiseless
ground node (e.g., bottom layer).
• Layer 3: Keep data bus away from critical ground plane
zone.
• Bottom layer: Ground layer. Ground noise
