RY5HD01

The Sharp RY5HD01, a 3.3 V low voltage operating infrared transceiver module, provides the interface between logic and IR signals for through-air, serial, half-duplex IR wireless data links and is designed to satisfy the IrDA physical layer specifications.

The Sharp RY5HD01 contains a high speed, high efficiency, low power consumption AlGaAs LED, a silicon PIN photodiode, and the low power driven new bipolar integrated circuit. The IC contains a LED driver circuit and a receiver, that provides single RX out supporting both 9.6 to 115.2 kbps IrDA 1.0 signals, and 1M/4 Mbps IrDA1.1 signals. This single RX output design provides manufacturers with multiple infrared port capability in one application, wherever the infrared port is desired to be located.

Though the RY5HD01 transceiver module is operated at 3.3 V, the module can still work at 5.0 V without any performance desiccation. The manufacturers surely would get the advantage of an energy saving design in any application field, while having alternatives for other components.
