MCP2120T-I/SL is a low-cost, high-performance, fully-static infrared encoder/decoder. This device sits between a UART and an infrared (IR) optical transceiver The data received from a standard UART is encoded (modulated), and output as electrical pulses to the IR Transceiver. The IR Transceiver also receives data which it outputs as electrical pulses that the MCP2120T-I/SL decodes (demodulates) then transmits the data via the MCP2120T-I/SL UART. This modulation and demodualtion method is performed in accordance with the IrDA standard.
