Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
It features an extended link distance up to 50cm and is ideally suited for infra-red for financial messaging (IrFM) "point and pay" applications.
The Agilent HSDL-3208 meets the IrDA-IrMC version 1.4 specification for low-power serial infra-red mode at 2.4 to 115Kbit/s datarates.
The transceiver can also operate at an extended link distances of up to 50cm, exceeding the IrDA low-power link specification of 20 to 30cm.
The HSDL-3208 is ideal for power-sensitive handheld devices, providing low shutdown current of 1nA to help extend battery life.
It provides guaranteed temperature performance at a supply voltage ranging from 2.7 to 3.6V, and over a temperature range of -25 to +85C.
Other features include excellent EMI performance, even without a shield, and LED stuck-high protection to eliminate the need for shutting down and resetting the handheld device.
The transceiver is supplied in the industry's smallest profile package at 1.6 x 7.0 x 2.8mm.
It is IEC825-Class 1 eye safe.
