RPM872-H12 is an infrared communication module for IrDA Ver. 1.2 (Low Power). It integrates infrared LED, PIN photo diode, and LSI into a single package. The module is designed with power down function and low current consumption at stand-by mode. The ultra small package makes it a perfect fit for mobile devices.
The RPM872-H12 is a compact infrared communication module that integrates an infrared LED, PIN photodiode, driver and receiver in a single package. It is designed for low‑power IrDA Ver.1.2 applications and includes a power‑down function for reduced standby current, making it suitable for mobile devices such as phones, PDAs and digital cameras.
Key features include surface‑mount packaging, operation from 1.5 V to 7 V, transmission rates from 24 kbps to 115.2 kbps, and detailed electrical and optical specifications. The datasheet provides pin descriptions, block diagrams, timing charts, recommended external components, and layout guidelines to aid designers in implementing the module.
| Supply voltage (max) | 7.0 V |
|---|---|
| Transmission rate | 24 kbps – 115.2 kbps |
| Peak wavelength | 850 nm – 900 nm |
| LED anode current (max) | 30.5 mA |
| Typical consumption current (no light) | 75 µA |
It is applicable to mobile phones, PDAs, DVCs, digital still cameras, printers, handy terminals, and similar devices.
The module can be powered up to 7.0 V, with a typical operating voltage of around 3.0 V.
When the PWDOWN pin is driven high, the receiving circuit stops, reducing current consumption and turning off the LED.
