The TFBS6711 is a low power IR transceiver from Vishay Semiconductors that supports data transmission rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 4 Mbit/s with a typical link distance of 50 cm. It also enables mobile phones and PDAs to function as universal remote controls for televisions, DVDs and other home appliances.
The TFBS6711 is a compact, low‑power infrared transceiver compliant with the IrDA Physical Layer specification. It integrates a PIN photodiode, an infrared emitter and a control IC in a 1.9 mm high, 6.0 mm × 3.05 mm footprint package, making it suitable for mobile phones, PDAs and remote‑control applications.
The device operates from 2.4 V to 3.6 V, draws only 0.01 µA in shutdown, and can transmit up to 6.5 m on‑axis. Detailed electrical and optoelectronic characteristics, recommended circuit diagrams, mode‑switching procedures, and soldering guidelines are provided for designers.
