ROHM RPM871-H14 Infrared Communication Module Datasheet
The RPM871-H14 Photo Link Module is an infrared communication module compliant with IrDA Ver. 1.2 (Low Power). It integrates an infrared LED, a PIN photodiode and a waveform‑shaping LSI in a compact package, making it suitable for battery‑powered mobile devices such as cellular phones and PDAs. The module includes a power‑down function that reduces standby current to a typical 73 µA.
The document provides electrical and optical characteristics, recommended operating conditions, terminal descriptions, application circuit diagrams, timing charts, and layout notes. It also lists absolute maximum ratings, dimensions, and safety notices for use in various electronic equipment.
