15.8  IrDA Operation 
When the IrDA function is enabled with bit IrE in IrCR, the SCI_0 TxD0 and RxD0 signals are 
subjected to waveform encoding/decoding conforming to IrDA specification version 1.0 (IrTxD 
and IrRxD pins). By connecting these pins to an infrared transceiver/receiver, it is possible to 
implement infrared transmission/reception conforming to the IrDA specification version 1.0 
system. 
In the IrDA specification version 1.0 system, communication is started at a transfer rate of 9600 
bps, and subsequently the transfer rate can be varied as necessary. As the IrDA interface in this 
LSI does not include a function for varying the transfer rate automatically, the transfer rate setting 
must be changed by software. 
Figure 15.33 shows a block diagram of the IrDA function.
