IrDA Evaluation Kits

The SMA KLZ8519PEK peripheral engine evaluation kit is a support tool that helps designers develop IrDA-Control compliant peripheral devices. The package includes a PC-based evaluation board and sample software to capture IrDA-Control infrared communication data packets. It may be used to develop peripheral device software.

The kit includes a printed wiring board, Sharp GP2W2001YK infrared transceiver, Sharp IrDA-Control Peripheral engine, RS-232C PC interface board, and software for a keyboard emulation program.

The KLZ85202 host evaluation controller with USB I/F is a communications controller with USB interface that fully supports IrDA-Control communication services. You can implement an IrDA Control Host device with eight wireless peripherals, such as mice and keyboards.

The kit includes the LZ85202 communication controller with a USB card to interface with a PC, all required functions for IrDA Control communication, an optimized interface to the Sharp IrDA control transceiver (GP2W2001YK), and an optimized USB transceiver to LSI interface.

Both kits are available for $99 each.
