IrDA Transceiver Modules

Infrared transceivers incorporate an infrared emitter, a photodiode and control circuitry in a single device package for use in data transmission at rates as high as 16 megabits per second. Modules are available as Serial (SIR), Mid (MIR) and Far (FIR) variations with side or top view options. The Infrared Data Association (IrDa) provides protocol specifications for wireless data communication such as IrDA 1.x and IrPHY 1.x for use with infrared transceivers.
