The first type of this new series is TFDU4201. The target application of this new miniature transceiver is the wireless IR interface of mobile phones but also other miniaturized handheld digital equipment. As with all IRDC transceivers, the external circuitry is minimized. A typical application needs only one 50 ohm resistor and one 470 nF capacitor for supply voltage filtering. No IRED current control resistor is needed because the current source is integrated in the transceiver.
Samples are available now.
