ZHX1203

SIR UltraSlim Transceiver (IrMC)

PS016406-1005

Description

The ZILOG ZHX1203 for mobile phones, pagers, and PDAs is the smallest, low-

est power, and highest functional transceiver in its class.

Communication takes place at the low receive current consumption of 100 µA

(typical). The ZHX1203MB features only the low receive current consumption of

100 µA (typical).

The UltraSlim form factor (7.3 mm long x 2.8 mm wide x 1.9 mm high) allows

placement in virtually any small device (see Figure 1). Application circuit space is

also minimized because only two external components are required.

Figure 1. UltraSlim Form

The ZHX1203 is designed to support IrDA-Data SIR mode, which at 115 Kbits/s

provides the capability for the user to share phone numbers, addresses, and

notes as well as linking a PC to the internet via a mobile telephone.

The transceiver combines an IRED emitter, a photodiode, and a unique driver/

control ASIC in a single package, as shown in Figure 2. The ZILOG ZHX1203

also features a shutdown control that minimizes current draw to 0.1 µA typical.

Pin Description

Table 1 lists the pin out for the ZHX1203 transceiver. The pins are described in

this section.

Connect to positive power supply (2.4–3.6 V). Filter with a 1.0-µF ceramic bypass

capacitor and terminating resistor as close as possible to the VCC pin.

GND Ground

(Power)

Connect to ground of the power supply. A solid ground plane is recommended for

proper operation.

SD Shutdown

(Input, active high)

This input is used to place the IC into a shutdown mode.

TxD needs to be driven low to achieve low shutdown current and held low during

the transition from shutdown to active to ensure that the circuitry is properly set to

communicate.

RxD Receive Data

(Output, active low)

This output provides received serial data. It is a tri-state, slew rate controlled

CMOS output (tri-stated during shutdown) driver capable of driving a standard

CMOS or LS series TTL load. No external resistor is required.

TxD Transmit Data

(Input, active high)

This CMOS input is used to transmit serial data and has an internal pull-down

resistor that is enabled only during shutdown.

LEDA LED Driver

(Power)

This output is internally connected to the LED anode and contains an internal

current source. The voltage range on this pad is 2.1–4.2 volts.

TAB Shield Connection

The shield tab must be soldered to ground for proper operation.

To minimize power dissipation, the part has been designed for optimal

operation in 1.6 µs mode. If the part is used in the 3/16th pulse duration

mode, some devices might exhibit a phantom RxD pulse at 9.6 Kbits/s.

TxD must be held low during the transition from shutdown to active to

ensure that the circuitry is properly set to communicate.

This component is susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge

(ESD). To prevent damage and/or degradation that might be induced

by ESD, use normal static precautions in handling and assembly of

this component.

Moisture Prevention Guidelines

To avoid moisture absorption during transportation and storage, ZHX1203 reels

are packed in aluminum envelopes (see Figure 6) that contain a desiccant with a

humidity indicator. While this packaging is an impediment to moisture absorption,

it is by no means absolute, and no warranty is implied. The user must store these

parts in a controlled environment to prevent moisture entry. Please read the label

on the aluminum bag for indicator instructions.

Figure 6. ZHX1203 Packaging

Baking

It is recommended that parts that have been stored over 12 months or unpacked

over 72 hours be baked under the following guidelines.

Reels

60 °C for 48 hours or more

Loose Parts

•

100 °C for 4 hours or more

•

125 °C for 2 hours or more

•

150 °C for 1 hour or more
