IR microcontroller learns codes from
others
The latest addition to the Crimzon line of infra-red-specific MCUs are the first that can learn codes from other infra-red remote controls via a learning circuit.
In a development that reinforces its position as the leading supplier of microcontroller (MCU) solutions for the universal remote control (URC) market and reduces both the component count and bill of materials for its customers, Zilog today announced the release of the ZLP12840 family of 8bit MCU devices, the latest addition to its Crimzon line of infra-red-specific silicon Unique to the ZLP12840 is its on-chip ability to learn codes from other infra-red remote controls via a learning circuit

Frugal IrDA transceivers can stay on all the time
ZiLog has released the first devices in its new UltraSlim IrDA transceiver family designed to bring always-on, always power-efficient infra-red connectivity to compact portable systems.
Zilog believes that this is the first 8bit MCU to offer this integrated capability.
Learning features are becoming increasingly popular in the mid- to high-end remote control market.
These features capture the infra-red signal from any other remote control then duplicate it on the learning remote.
