HSDL-3020
IrDA® Data Compliant Low Power 4.0 Mbit/s
with Remote Control Infrared Transceiver
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The HSDL-3020 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 operating at
the optimum 940 nm wavelength for universal remote
control applications. The HSDL-3020 features an enhanced 3 lens optical package for optimized IrDA and
RC performance.
General Features
The module is fully compliant to IrDA® Physical Layer
specifi-cation 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-3020 can be shutdown completely to achieve
very low power consumption. In the shutdown mode,
the PIN diode will be inactive and thus producing 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. Internally connected to RC LED driver. Leave this pin unconnected.
2. Tied through external resistor, R3, to RC Vled. Refer to the table below for recommended series resistor value.
3. Tied through external resistor, R2, to IR Vled. Refer to the table below for recommended series resistor value.
4. Connect to ASIC logic controller supply voltage or VCC. The voltage at this pin should be equal to or less than VCC.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Complete shutdown of IC and PIN diode. The pin is used for setting receiver bandwidth 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.
8. Regulated, 2.4 V to 3.6 V.
9. Logic high turns on the RC LED. If held high longer than 50 µs, the RC LED is turned off. Do NOT float this pin.
10. Connect to system ground.
11, Connect to system ground via a low inductance trace. For best performance, do not connect directly to the transceiver GND pin.
CAUTIONS: The BiCMOS inherent to the design of this component increases the component’s susceptibility
to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be taken in handling
and assembly of this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be induced by ESD.

4. An in-band optical signal is a pulse/sequence where the peak wavelength, lP, is defined as 850 nm ≤ lP ≤ 900 nm, and the pulse characteristics are compliant with the IrDA Serial Infrared Physical Layer Link Specification version 1.4.
5. For in-band signals 9.6 kbit/s to 115.2 kbit/s where 9 µW/cm2 ≤ EI ≤ 500 mW/cm2.
6. Latency is defined as the time from the last TxD_IrDA light output pulse until the receiver has recovered full sensitivity.
7. Receiver Wake Up Time is measured from VCC power ON to valid RxD_IrDA output.
8. Transmitter Wake Up Time is measured from VCC power ON to valid light output in response to a TxD_IrDA pulse.
9. The Optical PW is defined as the maximum time in which the IR LED will turn on. This is to prevent the long Turn On time for the IR LED.

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. The DT/Dtime 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-3020 castellation 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-3020 castellations.
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).
12
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-3020 castellations to change dimensions evenly, putting minimal stresses on the HSDL-3020
transceiver.

Recommended Metal solder Stencil Aperture
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 combin-ations 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

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.
Note: Wet/Liquid Photo-imageable solder resist/mask is recommended.

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, CX5, CX6
and CX7 are optional supply filter capacitors; they
may be left out if a clean power supply is used.
3. IR and RC VLED can be connected to either unfiltered or unregulated power supply. The bypass
capacitors should be connection before the current
limiting resistor R3 and R4 respectively. In a noisy
environment, including capacitor CX2 and CX7 can
enhance supply rejection. CX6 and CX3 that are
generally a ceramic capacitor of low inductance
providing a wide frequency response while CX2 and
CX4 are 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:

• Top Layer: Connect the metal shield and module
ground pin to bottom ground layer;
Place the bypass capacitors within 0.5cm from the
VCC and ground pin of the module.
• Layer 2: Critical ground plane zone. 3 cm in all direction around the module. Connect to a clean,
noiseless ground node (eg bottom layer).
• Layer 3: Keep data bus away from critical ground
plane zone.
• Bottom layer: Ground layer. Ground noise
