IR Protocol

This section covers some common infrared protocol transmission formats used in infrared remotes.

1. Sony

 

     The modulated carrier is usually derived from 480kHz and is 1/12 of the frequency with 1/3 duty cycle.

 

     When data are transmitted repeatedly, the frame cycle is 45ms or 150 period.

 

     A frame consists of a syn pulse, a seven-bit data code and a five-bit custom code.

 

     The timing definitions of the output code waveform are shown below.

2. Matsushita

 

     The modulated carrier is usually derived from 440kHz and is 1/12 of the frequency with 1/2 duty cycle.

 

     When data are transmitted repeatedly, the frame cycle is 104.7ms or 240 period.

 

     A frame consists of a syn pulse, a six-bit custom code, six-bit data code, a six-bit inverted custom code and a six-bit inverted data code.

 

     The timing definitions of the output code waveform are shown below.

3. NEC

 

     The modulated carrier is usually derived from 455kHz and is 1/12 of the frequency with 1/3 duty cycle.

 

     When data are transmitted repeatedly, the frame cycle is 107.9ms or 186 period.

 

     A frame consists of a syn pulse, an eight-bit custom code, an eight-bit inverted custom code, an eight-bit data code and an eight-bit inverted data code.

4. RC5

 

     The modulated carrier is usually derived from 432kHz and is 1/12 of the frequency with 1/3 duty cycle.

 

     When data are transmitted repeatedly, the frame cycle is 113.7ms or 256 period.

 

     A frame consists of a two-bit syn code, a one-bit control code, a five-bit system code, and a six-bit data code.
