Fast Infrared Transceiver Module (4 Mbit/s), IrDA® Serial
Interface Compatible, 2.7 V to 5.5 V Supply Voltage Range
Description
The TFDU6108 is an infrared transceiver module
compliant to the latest IrDA standard for fast infrared
data communication, supporting IrDA speeds up to
4.0 Mbit/s (FIR), 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 CMOS control IC to provide
a total front-end solution in a single package.
These FIR transceivers with an integrated serial inter-
face are compliant with the IrDA "Serial Interface
Standard for Transceiver Control". The transceivers
are capable of directly interfacing with a wide variety
of I/O devices, which perform the modulation/
demodulation function. At a minimum, a VCC bypass
capacitor is the only external component required
implementing a complete solution. For limiting the
transceiver internal power dissipation one additional
resistor might be added. The transceiver can be oper-
ated with logic I/O voltages as low as 1.5 V.
New Features
The functionality of the device is similar to the
TFDU6102 series. The IrDA compatible serial
interface function is replacing the former program-
ming method, guaranteeing a perfect IrDA stan-
dardized and compliant programmability. The
IRED current is programmable to different levels,
no external current limiting resistor is necessary.

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

Recommended Circuit Diagram
Operated with a low impedance power supply the
TFDU6108 needs no external components. However,
depending on the entire system design and board lay-
out, additional components may be required (see fig-
ure 1).
Vishay Semiconductor transceivers integrate a sensi-
tive receiver and a built-in power driver. The combina-
tion of both needs a careful circuit board layout. The
use of thin, long, resistive and inductive wiring should
be avoided. The inputs (Txd, SCLK) and the output
Rxd should be directly (DC) coupled to the I/O circuit.
R1 is used for controlling the maximum current
through the IR emitter. This one is necessary when
operating over the full range of operating temperature
and VCC1 - voltages above 4 V. For increasing the
max. output power of the IRED, the value of the resis-
tor 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 dur-
ing transmission may reduce sensitivity (and trans-
mission range) of the transceiver.
The placement of these parts is critical. It is strongly
recommended to position C2 close to the transceiver
power supply pins. An electrolytic capacitor should be
used for C1 while a ceramic capacitor is used for C2.

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 infra-
red transceivers act as bus slaves and only respond
to transactions initiated by the master. A bus transac-
tion is made up of one or two phases. The first phase
is the Command Phase and is present in every trans-
action. 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 1 - 7 and 1 - 8, otherwise it is
assumed that there will be no response phase and the
master can terminate the transaction.
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. 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 trans-
mitter LED and normal infrared transmission can
resume. No transition on SCLK must occur until the
next command sequence otherwise the slave will dis-
able 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 Mode Selection reg-
ister 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 con-
troller before the first command is issued on the IRTX/
SWDAT line. 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 trans-
ceiver should have the receiver output enabled. A
series resistor (approx. 200 ohms) should be placed
on the receiver output from each transceiver to pre-
vent large currents in case a conflict occurs due to a
programming error.

Note 1: If the APEN bit in control register 0 is set to 1, the internal
signal from the receiver photo diode is discon nected and the IRRX/
SRDAT line is pulsed low for one clock cycle at the end of a write
or special command.
Note 2: During a read transaction the infrared controller sets the
IRTX/SWDAT line high after sending the address and index byte
(or bytes). It will then set it low two clock cycles before the end of
the transaction. It is strongly recommended that optical transceiv-
ers monitor this line instead of counting clock cycles in order to
detect the end of the read trans action. This will always guarantee
correct operation in case two or more transceivers from different
manufacturers are sharing the serial interface.

Application Guideline
In the following some guideline is given for handling
the TFDU6108 in an application ambient, especially
for testing. It is also a guideline for interfacing with a
controller. We recommend to use for first evaluation
the Vishay IRM1802 controller. For more information
see the special data sheet. Driver software is avail-
able on request. Contact irdc@vishay.com.
Serial Interface Capability of the Vishay
IrDA Transceivers Abstract
A serial interface allows an infrared controller to com-
municate with one or more infrared transceivers. The
basic specification of 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 and TFDU6108. The VFIR
(16 Mbit/s) and FIR (4 Mbit/s) programmable versions
are using the same interface specification (with spe-
cific identification and programming).
IrDA Serial Interface Basics
The serial interface for transceiver control (SITC) 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 jump into SITC mode on
the first rising edge of the clock line remaining there
until the command phase is finished. After power on it
is required an initial phase for 30 clock cycles at Txd
is continuous low before the transmitter can be pro-
grammed. If Txd assume high during the initial phase
then must start the initial phase again.
The data transfer is organized by one byte preceded
by one start bit. The SITC allows the communication
between infrared controller and transceiver through
write and read transaction. The SITC consists of two
store blocks with different functions. The store block
called Extended Indexed Registers contain the vari-
ous supported functionality of the device and can be
read only. The other Main Control Registers allow
write and read transaction and store the executable
configuration of the device.
Any configuration is executed after the command
phase is completed.
Power - up defaults
After power on the transceiver has to stay by definition in the following default mode shown in the table. The default mode of the TFDU6108
is different from the originally defined IrDA Serial Interface default mode. The implemented deviation from the standard was a market re-
quest because only in this way a requested quick function test is possible with the TFDU6108 without the need to connect to a programming
device.
Addressing
The transceiver is addressable with three address bits. There are individual and common addresses with the following values.

Data Acknowledgement
Data acknowledgement generated by the slave is
available if the APEN bit is set to 1 in the common
control register. In IrDA default state this functionality
is disabled. In default state of the TFDU6108 it is
enabled (see above). It is strongly recommended that
this functionality is enabled to be on the safe side for
correct data transmission during SITC mode.
Registers Data Depth
In general the whole data registers consist of a data
depth of eight bits. But sometimes it is unnecessary to
implement the full depth. In such a case the invisible
bits consider like a zero.
Used Index Commands
The table shows the valid index commands, its allowable modes, and the data depth to them.
Main-ctrl-0 register values
1) APEN - Acknowledge Pulse Enable, (optional)
This bit is used to enable the acknowledge pulse. When it is set to 1 and RX OEN is 1 (receiver output enabled) the IRRX/SRDAT line will
be pulsed low for one clock cycle upon successful completion of every write command or special command with individual (non broadcast)
transceiver address. The internal signal from the receiver photo diode is disconnected
when this bit is set to 1.
Main-ctrl-1 register values
If any other value is tried to be written by the controller into the SIF, the transceiver will load 00h into the main_crtl_1 register and will not
give an acknowledgement

Invalid Commands Handling
There are some commands and register addresses, which cannot be decoded by the SITC. The slave ignores such invalid data for the
internal logic.
Below the different types and the slave reaction to them are shown.
No reaction means that the slave does not start the respond phase.
Reset
There is no external reset pin at Vishay IrDA trans-
ceivers. In case of transition error there are two ways
to set the SITC in a defined state: The first one is
power off. The second one is that the transceiver
monitors the IRTX/SWDAT line in any state. If this line
is assumed low for 30 clock cycles then the trans-
ceiver must be set to the command start state and set
all registers to default implemented values.
Description Master Command Slave Reaction on IRRX/SRDAT

Appendix C
Serial Interface (SIF) Programming Guide
The SIF port of this module allow an IR controller to
communicate with it, get module ID and capability
information, implement receiver bandwidth mode
switching, LED power control, shutdown and some
other functions.
This interface requires three signals: a clock line
(SCLK) that is used for timing, and two unidirectional
lines multiplexed with the transmitter (Txd, write) and
receiver (Rxd, read) infrared signal lines.
The supported programming sequence formats are
listed below:
one-byte special commands
two-byte write commands
two-byte read commands
three-byte read commands
The 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 IrDA.org web site.
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, mea-
sured from rising edge to rising edge
• there is a minimum data setup time before clock ris-
ing edges
• there is a minimum data hold time after clock rising
edges
Recommended programming timing:
(4 kHz <) fclk < 8 MHz (4 kHz is a recommended
value, according to the Serial Interface Standard
quasi-static programming is possible)
TCLK > 125 ns (< 250 μs, see the remark for quasi-
static programming above)
Tsetup > 10 ns
Thold > 10 ns
The timing diagrams below show the setup and hold
time for Serial Interface programming sequences:
Protocol Specifications
The serial interface protocol is a command-based
communication standard and allows for the communi-
cation between controller and transceiver by way of
serial programming sequences on the clock (SCLK),
transmit (TX), and receive (RX) lines. The SCLK line
is used as a clocking signal and the transmit/receive
lines are used to write/read data information. The pro-
tocol requires all transceivers to implement the write
commands, but does not require the read-portion of
the protocol to be implemented (though all transceiv-
ers 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 com-
mands.
Write commands to the transceiver take place on the
SCLK and TX lines and may make use of the RX line
for answer back purposes.
A command may be directed to a single transceiver
on the SCLK, TX and RX 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 spe-
cial three-bit broadcast address code. The Vishay
VFIR transceiver TFDU8108 will respond to trans-
ceiver address 010 and the broadcast address 111
only, and follows but ignores all other transceiver
addresses. The transceiver address of Vishay FIR
module TFDU6108 is 001.
All commands have a common \"header\" or series of
leading bits which take the form shown below.

The bits shown are placed on the TX (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 and TFDU6108.
Two-byte Write Commands
Two-byte write commands are used for setting the
contents of transceiver registers which control trans-
ceiver such as shutdown/enable, receiver mode, LED
power level, etc.
The register space requires four register address bits
(R0-3), although three codes are used for controlling
transceiver (see above), and the 1111 escape code is
for extended commands. The 3-bit transceiver
address (A0-3) is for selecting the destination, e.g.
010 to TFDU8108 and 001 to TFDU6108.
The second byte is data field (D0-7) for setting the
characteristics of the transceiver module, e.g. SIR
mode (00) or VFIR (05) when the register address is
0001.
