MCP2120/22 Developer’s Board User’s Guide

1.4 PC REQUIREMENTS

The PC used has four main requirements. These are:

1. Standard serial port

2. USB port (to power the MCP2120/22 Developer’s Board)

3. Terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal)

4. IrDA standard driver installed, which treats the IR port as a virtual serial port

A non-legacy-free Intel

compatible model with Windows Operating System (OS)

would meet these requirements. The Windows

OS includes a terminal emulation

program called Hyperterminal. Section D.1 “Configuring the Hyperterminal®

Program” shows instructions to configure Hyperterminal and demonstrate the

developer’s board.

1.4.1 The PC with IR Port

A PC with IR Port can be configured to operate as an encoder/decoder. This User’s

Guide will not get into implementating this type of system due to the uniqueness of each

PC’s drivers.
