Transmit
The data to be transmitted via the IR transceiver is first sent to UART0. The UART
transmit signal (TxD) and Baud Rate Clock are used by the infrared encoder/decoder to
generate the modulation signal (IR_TXD) that drives the infrared transceiver. Each UART
bit is 16-clocks wide. If the data to be transmitted is a logical 1 (High), the IR_TXD signal
remains Low (0) for the full 16-clock period. If the data to be transmitted is a logical 0, a
3-clock High (1) pulse is output following a 7-clock Low (0) period. Following the
3-clock High pulse, a 6-clock Low pulse completes the full 16-clock data period. Data
transmission is illustrated in Figure 25. During data transmission, the IR receive function
should be disabled by clearing the IR_RXEN bit in the IR_CTL reg to 0. This prevents
transmitter to receiver cross-talk.

Receive
Data received from the IR transceiver via the IR_RXD signal is decoded by the infrared
encoder/decoder and passed to the UART. The IR_RXEN bit in the IR_CTL register must
be set to enable the receiver decoder. The SIR data format uses half duplex communica-
tion therefore the UART should not be allowed to transmit while the receiver decoder is
enabled. The UART Baud Rate Clock is used by the infrared encoder/decoder to generate
the demodulated signal (RxD) that drives the UART. Each UART bit is 16-clocks wide. If
the data to be received is a logical 1 (High), the IR_RXD signal remains High (1) for the
full 16-clock period. If the data to be received is a logical 0, a 3-clock Low (0) pulse is
