About this manual

The RPM841-H11 is an infrared communication module compliant with IrDA Ver.1.2 (Low Power). It integrates an infrared LED, PIN photodiode, driver and receiver circuitry in a single surface‑mount package, making it suitable for mobile phones, PDAs, digital cameras, printers and other handheld devices. The module includes a power‑down function and low standby current, and its ultra‑small dimensions (6.8 mm × 2.44 mm × 1.5 mm) allow easy integration.

The datasheet provides pin descriptions, electrical and optical characteristics, recommended operating conditions, and layout guidelines. Key specifications include a supply voltage of 3.0‑3.6 V, data rates up to 115.2 kbps, and an LED anode current of about 50 mA in IrDA mode. Proper configuration of TX‑RC and TX‑D inputs (set to “L” under 0.3 V) is required for normal operation.
