The temperature profile is divided into four process zones, each with different T/time temperature change rates. The T/time rates 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 I/O pins are heated to a temperature of 160C to activate the flux in the solder paste. The temperature ramp up rate, R1, is limited to 4C per second to allow for even heating of both the PC board and HSDL-3003 I/O pins. 12 Process zone P2 should be of sufficient time duration (60 to -120 seconds) to dry the solder paste. The temperature is raised to a level just below the liquidus point of the solder, usually 200C (392F). Process zone P3 is the solder reflow zone. In zone P3, the temperature is quickly raised above the liquidus point of solder to 255C (491F) for optimum results. The dwell time above the liquidus point of solder should be between 20 and 60 seconds. It usually takes about 20 seconds to assure proper coalescence of the solder balls into liquid solder and the formation of good solder connections. Beyond a dwell time of 60 seconds, 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, usually 200C (392F), 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 transceiver's castellation I/O pins to change dimensions evenly, putting minimal stresses on the HSDL-3003.

Appendix B: PCB Layout Suggestion 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, but should not extend under the shield trace. 2. The shield trace is a wide, low inductance trace back to the system ground. CX1, CX2 and CX3 are optional supply filter capacitors; they may be left out if a clean power supply is used. 3. VLED can be connected to either unfiltered or unregulated power supply. If VLED and Vcc share the same power supply, CX3 need not be used and the connections for CX1 and CX2 should be before the current limiting resistor R1. In a noisy environment, including capacitor CX2 can enhance supply rejection. CX1 is generally a ceramic capacitor of low inductance providing a wide frequency response while TOP LAYER CONNECT THE METAL SHIELD AND 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) The area underneath the module at the second layer, and 3 cm in all directions around the module, is defined as the critical ground plane zone. The ground plane should be maximized in this zone. Refer to application note AN1114 or the Agilent IrDA Data Link Design Guide for details. The layout below is based on a two-layer PCB. Top View Bottom View 15 CX2 and CX3 are tantalum capacitors 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. Refer to the diagram below for an example of a four-layer board. Appendix C: General Application Guide for the HSDL-3003 Infrared IrDA(R) Compliant 115.2 Kb/s Transceiver Description The HSDL-3003, a wide-voltage operating range infrared transceiver is a low-cost and 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 at 940 nm typically. It is fully compliant to IrDA 1.4 low power specification from 9.6 kb/s to 115.2 kb/s, and supports most remote control codes. The design of the HSDL3003 also includes the following unique features: * Spectrally suited to universal remote control transmission function at 940 nm typically. * Low passive component count. * Shutdown mode for low power consumption requirement. Interface to Recommended I/O Chips The HSDL-3003's TXD data input is buffered to allow for CMOS drive levels. No peaking circuit or capacitor is required. Data rate from 9.6 kb/s up to 115.2 kb/s is available at the RXD pin. The TXD_RC, (pin 7), or the TXD_IrDA, (pin 3), can be used to send remote control codes. Selection of Resistor R1 The block diagrams below show how the IrDA port fits into a mobile phone and PDA platform. Resistor R1 should be selected to provide the appropriate peak pulse LED current over different ranges of Vcc as shown on page 3 under "Recommended Application Circuit Components".

IR layout in PDA platform. The link distance testing was done using typical HSDL-3003 units with SMC's FDC37C669 and FDC37N769 Super I/O controllers. An IrDA link distance of up to 70 cm was demonstrated. Remote Control Operation The HSDL-3003 is spectrally suited to universal remote control transmission function at 940 nm typically. Remote control applications are not governed by any standards, owing to which there are numerous remote control codes in the market. Each of these standards results in 17 receiver modules with different sensitivities, depending on the carrier frequencies and responsivity to the incident light wavelength. Based on a survey of some commonly used remote control receiver modules, the irradiance is found to be in the range of 0.05 ~ 0.07 mW/cm2. Based on a typical irradiance of 0.05 mW/ cm2 and 0.075 mW/cm2 and turning on the RC LED, a typical link distance of 8 m and 7 m is achieved typically. Appendix D: Window Designs for HSDL-3003 To ensure IrDA compliance, some constraints on the height and width of the window exist. The minimum dimensions ensure that the IrDA cone angles are met without vignetting. The maximum dimensions minimize the effects of stray light. The minimum size corresponds to a cone angle of 30 and the maximum size corresponds to a cone angle of 60. IR TRANSPARENT WINDOW OPAQUE MATERIAL Y X IR TRANSPARENT WINDOW OPAQUE MATERIAL Z In the figure above, X is the width of the window, Y is the height of the window, and Z is the distance from the HSDL-3003 to the back of the window.

An example of this interpolation for module depth of 0.8 mm is as follows: Xmin = 0.8 - 0.5 x (11.75 - 11.45) + 11.45 = 11.63 1.0 - 0.5 Ymin = 0.8 - 0.5 x (4.45 - 4.20) + 4.20 = 4.35 1.0 - 0.5 Window Material 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 Material # Lexan 141 Lexan 920A Lexan 940A should be 10% or less for best optical performance. Light loss should be measured at 875 nm. The recommended plastic materials for use as a cosmetic window are available from General Electric Plastics.

This ensures that the window will not alter either the radiation pattern of the LED, or the receive pattern of the photodiode. 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. If the window must be curved for mechanical or industrial design reasons, place the same curve on the back side 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 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.
