Fast Infrared Communication Port
11.2.2 Frame Format
The frame format used with 4-Mbps transmission is shown in Figure 11-3.
Figure 11-3. Frame Format for IrDA Transmission (4.0 Mbps)
The preamble, start, and stop flags are a mixture of chips that contain 0, 1, or 2 pulses in their
timeslots. Chips with 0 and 2 pulses are used to construct flags because the chips represent invalid
data bit pairings. The preamble contains 16 repeated transmissions of the chips: 1000 0000 1010
1000. The start flag contains one transmission of eight chips: 0000 1100 0000 1100 0110 0000
0110 0000. The stop flag contains one transmission of eight chips: 0000 1100 0000 1100 0000
0110 0000 0110. The address, control, data, and CRC-32 use the standard 4PPM chip encoding to
represent two bits per chip.
