2.7 IrDA DATA PROTOCOLS

SUPPORTED BY MCP2140A

The MCP2140A supports these required IrDA standard

protocols:

• Physical Signaling Layer (PHY)

• Link Access Protocol (IrLAP)

• Link Management Protocol/Information Access

Service (IrLMP/IAS)

The MCP2140A also supports some of the optional

protocols for IrDA standard data. The optional

protocols implemented by the MCP2140A are:

• Tiny TP

• IrCOMM

Figure 2-8 shows the IrDA data protocol stack and

those components implemented by the MCP2140A.

Note 1: The MCP2140A implements the 9-wire

“cooked” service class serial replicator.

2: The MCP2140A is fixed at 9600 baud

3: An optical transceiver is required.

2.7.1 IRCOMM

IrCOMM provides the method to support serial and par-

allel port emulation. This is useful for legacy COM

applications, such as printers and modem devices.

The IrCOMM standard is a syntax that allows the Pri-

mary device to consider the Secondary device a serial

device. IrCOMM allows for emulation of serial or paral-

lel (printer) connections of various capabilities. The

MCP2140A supports the 9-wire “cooked” service class

of IrCOMM. Other service classes supported by

IrCOMM are shown in Figure 2-9.

The IrDA protocol for printer support is not included in

the IrCOMM 9-wire “cooked” service class.
