Product details
Overview
TSLM1100 from Texas Instruments is an IrDA 1.1–compliant infrared transceiver integrating an 870-nm AIGaAs LED, silicon PIN photodiode, and LinCMOS transceiver IC. It supports dual-channel serial IR communication at 2.4 kb/s–115.2 kb/s (RXD-A) and 576 kb/s–4 Mb/s (RXD-B), with ±15° receiver viewing angle and ±30° transmitter beam angle, used in PC notebooks, PDAs, and industrial handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the TSLM1100 datasheet, TSLM1100 pinout, TSLM1100 application, or TSLM1100 equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-speed receiver outputs, visible-light-rejecting plastic SRA package, IrDA/ASK/HP-SIR/TV Remote compatibility, and required external capacitors CX1/CX5 placement within 0.7 cm for noise immunity.
Technical Context
The TSLM1100 implements a hybrid optoelectronic architecture: the LED driver stage delivers up to 660 mA peak current with 125 ns pulse width at 2 Mbps, while the receiver uses adaptive threshold and squelch circuitry to maintain sensitivity across ambient light conditions. Its dual-output structure (RXD-A/RXD-B) enables automatic speed selection without programming.
Optical performance is defined by 100–177 mW/sr radiant intensity at 450 mA drive, 875 nm peak emission, and 35 nm spectral half-width. Electrical operation requires VCC = 4.75–5.25 V, with receiver latency ≤0.5 ms and supply current ranging from 3–18 mA depending on idle/active state.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar infrared transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay TFBS4650 | Single-output (RXD only), 4-Mbps IrDA 1.4 compliant; integrated phototransistor; no separate RXD-A/RXD-B channels | Lacks hardware speed-select capability; requires external logic or MCU polling to detect speed mode | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where firmware can manage speed negotiation and dual outputs are unnecessary |
| ROHM Semiconductor RPI-7823A | 3.3-V operation only; 1.152-Mbps max rate; smaller SMD package (4.5 × 3.2 mm); no ASK/TV Remote compatibility | Not suitable for 5-V systems or multi-standard environments requiring HP-SIR/TV Remote support | Prefer for space-constrained, low-power portable devices operating exclusively at 3.3 V and ≤1.152 Mbps |
Compared with the TSLM1100, the TFBS4650 simplifies BOM count but adds firmware complexity for speed detection, while the RPI-7823A reduces footprint and power but sacrifices voltage flexibility, speed range, and multi-standard support essential for legacy interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the TSLM1100?
The TSLM1100 supports two distinct data rate ranges: RXD-A handles 2.4 kb/s to 115.2 kb/s, while RXD-B supports 576 kb/s to 4.0 Mb/s. Its full IrDA 1.1 compliance confirms 4-Mbps operation, verified in the SOES034A datasheet under "Fully Compliant with IrDA 1.1 (4 MBPS)" and electrical specifications for RXD-B pulse width and rise/fall times.
Does the TSLM1100 require external programming to switch between data rates?
No, the TSLM1100 does not require external programming to switch speeds. As stated in the datasheet: "No Programming Required to Switch Speeds" and "Backward Compatible to Slower IrDA Speeds." Speed selection is handled automatically via the dual independent outputs RXD-A and RXD-B, each dedicated to a specific rate range.
What are the critical layout requirements for the TSLM1100's external capacitors?
The TSLM1100 datasheet mandates that capacitors CX1 and CX5 must be placed within 0.7 cm of the device to achieve optimum noise immunity. This requirement is explicitly called out in both the schematic notes and APPLICATION INFORMATION section, reflecting the sensitivity of the photodiode bias and averaging circuits to PCB trace inductance and EMI coupling.
Is the TSLM1100 compatible with non-IrDA infrared standards?
Yes, the TSLM1100 is explicitly compatible with ASK, HP-SIR, and TV Remote standards in addition to IrDA 1.1. The datasheet states this in the headline feature list and confirms it in the functional description: "Additionally, the TSLM1100 is compatible with ASK, HP-SIR and TV Remote standards," enabling broad interoperability beyond IrDA-only systems.
What is the optical center wavelength and spectral width of the TSLM1100's LED?
The TSLM1100's AIGaAs LED has a peak-emission wavelength (λp) of 875 nm and a spectral-line half-width (∆λ1/2) of 35 nm, as specified in the "Optical Specifications" table on page 4 of the SOES034A datasheet. These values ensure strong overlap with the 880-nm peak sensitivity of the integrated PIN photodiode.
