3V to 5.5V, IrDA Infrared Transceiver with
Integrated RS-232 Interface
General Description
The MAX3130/MAX3131 combine an IrDA 1.2 compati-
ble infrared transceiver with an RS-232 interface—all in
a single 3V-powered hybrid microcircuit. The infrared
transceiver supports IrDA data rates of 2.4kbps to
115kbps. The infrared receive channel provides a high-
gain/low-noise PIN-diode amplifier with 100µA of ambi-
ent photodiode current rejection at a +3V supply. A
high-power LED driver capable of sinking 200mA is
included in the infrared transmit path. The on-board
encoder/decoder (ENDEC) compresses/stretches sig-
nals to and from the external UART, allowing IrDA com-
munication even with non-IrDA UARTs.
A 2-driver/2-receiver RS-232 transceiver supports data
rates up to 120kbps. A proprietary, high-efficiency, dual
charge-pump power supply and a low-dropout trans-
mitter combine to deliver true RS-232 performance from
a single +3.0V to +5.5V supply. Selectable shutdown
for IR and RS-232 circuitry reduces supply current to
1µA.
The MAX3130 is optimized for applications using a sin-
gle UART for both infrared and RS-232 communication.
The infrared transmitter input and infrared receiver out-
put are multiplexed with one RS-232 transmitter input
and one RS-232 receiver output, respectively. The
MAX3131’s IrDA transceiver and RS-232 transceivers
are separate and have their own data inputs and outputs.
Both these devices require a minimum of external com-
ponents: four small 0.1µF capacitors, a photodiode, an
infrared LED, and a current-setting resistor.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
