The temperature profile is divided into four process zones, each with different DT/Dtime temperature change rates or duration. The DT/Dtime rates or duration are detailed in the above table. The temperatures are measured at the component to printed circuit board connections. In process zone P1, the PC board and ASDL-3007 pins are heated to a temperature of 150C to activate the flux in the solder paste. The temperature ramp up rate, R1, is limited to 3C per second to allow for even heating of both the PC board and ASDL-3007 pins. Process zone P2 should be of sufficient time duration (100 to 180 seconds) to dry the solder paste. The temperature is raised to a level just below the liquidus point of the solder. Process zone P3 is the solder reflow zone. In zone P3, the temperature is quickly raised above the liquidus point of solder to 260C (500F) for optimum results. The dwell time above the liquidus point of solder should be between 60 and 90 seconds. This is to assure proper coalescing of the solder paste into liquid solder and the formation of good solder connections. Beyond the recommended dwell time the intermetallic growth within the solder connections becomes excessive, resulting in the formation of weak and unreliable connections. The temperature is then rapidly reduced to a point below the solidus temperature of the solder to allow the solder within the connections to freeze solid. Process zone P4 is the cool down after solder freeze. The cool down rate, R5, from the liquidus point of the solder to 25C (77F) should not exceed 6C per second maximum. This limitation is necessary to allow the PC board and ASDL3007 pins to change dimensions evenly, putting minimal stresses on the ASDL-3007. It is recommended to perform reflow soldering no more than twice. 13 Appendix A: ASDL-3007 SMT Assembly Application Note Solder Pad, Mask and Metal Stencil Table 1 Land Pattern Solder Mask PCBA Figure A1.

Solder stencil aperture 14 w Appendix B: PCB Layout Suggestion The ASDL-3007 is a shieldless part and hence does not contain a shield trace unlike the other transceivers. The effects of EMI and power supply noise can potentially reduce the sensitivity of the receiver, resulting in reduced link distance. The following PCB layout guidelines should be followed to obtain a good PSRR and EM immunity resulting in good electrical performance. Things to note: 1. The ground plane should be continuous under the part. 2. VLED and Vcc can be connected to either unfiltered or unregulated power supply. If VLED and Vcc share the same power supply, CX3 need not be used. The connections for CX1 and CX2 should be connected before the current limiting resistor R1. 3. CX1 is generally a ceramic capacitor of low inductance providing a wide frequency response while CX2 and CX3 are tantalum capacitor of big volume and fast frequency response. The use of a tantalum capacitor is more critical on the VLED line, which carries a high current. 4. Preferably a multi-layered board should be used to provide sufficient ground plane. Use the layer underneath and near the transceiver module as Vcc, and sandwich that layer between ground connected board layers. The diagrams below demonstrate an example of a 4-layer board : The area underneath the module at the second layer, and 3cm in all direction around the module is defined as the critical ground plane zone. The ground plane should be maximized in this zone. The layout below is based on a 2-layer PCB. Top layer Connect the module ground pin to bottom ground layer Layer 2 Critical ground plane zone. Do not connect directly to the module ground pin Layer 3 Keep data bus away from critical ground plane zone Bottom layer (GND) Top Layer 15 Bottom Layer Appendix C: General Application Guide for the ASDL-3007 Infrared IrDA(R) Compliant 115.2kb/s Transceiver Description Selection of Resistor R1 The ASDL-3007, a wide-voltage operating range infrared transceiver, is a low-cost and ultra small form factor device that is designed to address the mobile computing market such as PDAs, as well as small embedded mobile products such as digital cameras and cellular phones. It is spectrally suited to universal remote control transmission function. It is fully compliant to IrDA 1.4 low power specification from 9.6kb/s to 115.2kb/s, and support most remote control codes. The design of ASDL-3007 also includes the following unique features: Resistor R1 should be selected to provide the appropriate peak pulse LED current at different ranges of Vcc as shown on page 4 under "Recommended Application circuit components". * Spectrally suited to transmission function; universal remote control * Low passive component count; * Shutdown mode for low power consumption requirement; Interface to the Recommended I/O chip The ASDL-3007's TXD data input is buffered to allow for CMOS drive levels. No peaking circuit or capacitor is required. Data rate from 9.6kb/s up to 115.2kb/s is available at RXD pin. The TXD_RC, pin6, is used to select the remote control transmit mode. Alternatively, the TXD_IR, pin3, is used for infrared transmit selection. Figures C1 and C2 show how ASDL-3007 fits into a mobile phone and PDA platform respectively.

PDA Platform 16 COM Port RC Remote Control Operation The ASDL-3007 is spectrally suited to universal remote control transmission function. Remote control applications are not governed by any standards, owing to which there are numerous remote codes in market. Each of those standards results in receiver modules with different sensitivities, depending on the carries frequencies and responsively to the incident light wavelength. nication commonly known as Infrared Communications Port (ICP). The remote control commands can be sent through one of the available General Purpose IO pins (GPIO). It is not recommended to turn on both IrDA data transmission and Remote control transmission simultaneously to prevent mixing and corruption of data. During IrDA data transmission, TxD_RC pin should be pull-down but not letting it floating. Same condition applied for Remote control transmission, which TxD_IR pin should not be left floating.

The minimum dimensions ensure that the IrDA cones angles are met without vignetting. The maximum dimensions minimize the effects of stray light. The minimum size corresponds to a cone angle of 300 and the maximum size corresponds to a cone angle of 600.

The distance from the center of the LED lens to the center of the photodiode lens, K, is 5.1mm. The equations for computing the window dimensions are as follows: X = K + 2*(Z+D)*tanA Y = 2*(Z+D)*tanA The above equations assume that the thickness of the window is negligible compared to the distance of the module from the back of the window (Z). If they are comparable, Z' replaces Z in the above equation. Z' is defined as Z'=Z+t/n where `t' is the thickness of the window and `n' is the refractive index of the window material. The depth of the LED image inside the ASDL-3007, D, is 4.32mm. `A' is the required half angle for viewing. For IrDA compliance, the minimum is 150 and the maximum is 300. Assuming the thickness of the window to be negligible, the equations result in the following table and figures: 18 1 2 3 4 5 Module Depth (z) mm 6 7 8 9 Figure D2.

Aperture Height (y) vs. Module Depth (z) The recommended minimum aperture width and height is based on the assumption that the center of the window and the center of the module are the same. It is recommended that the tolerance for assembly be considered as well. The minimum window size which will take into acount of the assembly tolerance is defined as: X (min + assembly tolerance) = Xmin + 2*(assembly tolerance) (Dimensions are in mm) Y (min + assembly tolerance) = Ymin + 2*(assembly tolerance) (Dimensions are in mm) Window Material Shape of the Window Almost any plastic material will work as a window material. Polycarbonate is recommended. The surface finish of the plastic should be smooth, without any texture. An IR filter dye may be used in the window to make it look black to the eye, but the total optical loss of the window should be 10% or less for best optical performance. Light loss should be measured at 885 nm. The recommended plastic materials for use as a cosmetic window are available from General Electric Plastics. From an optics standpoint, the window should be flat. This ensures that the window will not alter either the radiation pattern of the LED, or the receive pattern of the photodiode. If the window must be curved for mechanical or industrial design reasons, place the same curve on the backside of the window that has an identical radius as the front side. While this will not completely eliminate the lens effect of the front curved surface, it will significantly reduce the effects. The amount of change in the radiation pattern is dependent upon the material chosen for the window, the radius of the front and back curves, and the distance from the back surface to the transceiver. Once these items are known, a lens design can be made which will eliminate the effect of the front surface curve. The following drawings show the effects of a curved window on the radiation pattern. In all cases, the center thickness of the window is 1.5 mm, the window is made of polycarbonate plastic, and the distance from the transceiver to the back surface of the window is 3 mm.
