UARTs
10.4.6.2 Operation
The SIR modulation technique works with 5-, 6-, 7-, or 8-bit characters with an optional parity bit.
The data is preceded by a zero value start bit and ends with one or more stop bits. The encoding
scheme is to set a pulse 3/16 of a bit wide in the middle of every zero bit and send no pulses for bits
that are ones. The pulse for each zero bit must occur, even for consecutive bits with no edge
between them.

Receive Data Polarity:
0 – SIR decoder interprets positive pulses as zeroes
1 – SIR decoder interprets negative pulses as zeroes
3TXPL
Transmit Data Polarity:
0 – SIR encoder generates a positive pulse for a data bit of zero
1 – SIR encoder generates a negative pulse for a data bit of zero
2XMODE
Transmit Pulse Width Select: When XMODE is cleared, the UART 16X clock is used to
clock the IRDA transmit and receive logic. When XMODE is set, the transmit encoder
generates 1.6 µs pulses (that are 3/16 of a bit time at 115.2 kbps) instead of pulses 3/16 of
a bit time wide, and the receive decoder expects pulses will be 1.6µs wide also.
0 – Transmit pulse width is 3/16 of a bit time wide
1 – Transmit pulse width is 1.6 µs
1 RCVEIR
Receiver SIR Enable: When RCVEIR is set, the signal from the RXD pin is processed by
the IRDA decoder before it is fed to the UART. If RCVEIR is cleared, then all clocking to the
IRDA decoder is blocked and the RXD pin is fed directly to the UART.
0 – Receiver is in UART mode
1 – Receiver is in infrared mode
0XMITIR
Transmitter SIR Enable: When XMITIR is set to a 1, the normal TXD output from the UART
is processed by the IRDA encoder before it is fed to the device pin. If XMITIR is cleared, all
clocking to the IRDA encoder is blocked and the UART’s TXD signal is connected directly
to the device pin.
When Transmitter SIR Enable is set, the TXD output pin, which is in a normally high default
state, will switch to a normally low default state. This can cause a false start bit unless the
infrared LED is disabled before XMITIR is set.
0 – Transmitter is in UART mode
1 – Transmitter is in infrared mode
