* Low-power Stop-Mode consumption -2A (typical) * Operating voltage 2.0-3.6V * Comprehensive North American, 6-in-1, plus European Satellite and Cable database included with no separate licensing fees. * Full database coverage for most TV, VCR, DVD, cable, satellite, and audio devices, with extensive key coverage including functions such as menu, audio, picture-in-picture (PIP), guide, and information. * Hardware jumper and command configurable. The Crimzon RC BlasterTM microcontroller and database * Package types include 20-pin PDIP/SOIC/SSOP solution is based on Zilog's popular Crimzon(R) family of infrared microcontrollers. This solution supports the increas ing demand of adding universal remote control functionality Zilog's Crimzon RC Blaster provides an easily-integrated into systems quickly and easily. Included in this device is a slave MCU and the industry's best IR database all in one comprehensive code chip. Whether you are designing a set-top box, digital database derived from Zilog's highly-acclaimed ZBASE . video recorder (DVR), DVD recorder, video network stream- The database covers the major brands and keys for TV, ing device, media center hub, PC add-an card, or any VCR, DVD, cable, satellite, and audio system. ZBASE is the applications requiring infrared remote control capabilities, Zilog infrared remote database built using the scientific the Crimzon RC Blaster is adaptable to any design in a method with great marketing coverage and high quality. variety of situations. North American infrared (IR) (R) (R) The Crimzon RC Blaster can be controlled by any master CPU easily via two-way UART. After receiving a command The Zilog universal IR database provides the best brand from the master, RC BlasterTM transmits the corresponding and model coverage available with over 3,700 brands IR command to the end-device. This simple solution allows supported. Zilog also includes a code set reference manual you to dedicate your engineering resources on other tasks listing applicable brand codes. and leaves the database work to Zilog. Zilog's ZBASE continues to provide trusted coverage for millions of customers worldwide by taking advantage of our unsurpassed database built using market analysis, quality control processes and signal integrity. The nucleus of Zilog's IR solution resides in the complexity and broad array of codesets found in its ZBASE(R) database. The scientific method in gathering these IR codes is not easy, and Zilog(R) has mastered a way to provide its customers the most comprehensive and complete set of IR code data available in the marketplace today. Application Layer (Command Executer) IR Engine IR Tx Middle Layer (Command Interpreter) Learning Module/Stack IR Rx Hardware Layer (UART Tx, Rx/User I/O /EEPROM Drivers) At a macro view, here is how the code building process works: * Popular remotes are selected based on point-of-sale (POS) reports * The remotes are purchased and managed by Zilog's UART and I2C EEPROM and Z8 GPIOs Master CPU Crimzon RC Blaster Architecture Remote Asset Management (ZRAM) System * Each remote is categorized and captured with original user manuals and photos * Code extraction is then based on available memory size to maximize market coverage and to meet selected market segments * The remotes are then verified on each model and codeset * And finally, continuous improvement and updating ocurrs with market feedback on a regular basis ZBASE is constantly being updated on a weekly basis using ZLPBLST0H2064GRXXXX ZLPBLST0P2064GRXXXX ZLPBLST0S2064GRXXXX ZLRBLST0H2064GRXXXX ZLRBLST0P2064GRXXXX ZLRBLST0S2064GRXXXX this above methodology to provide our customers only the best quality and choice when designing their IR-based applications. Note: Zilog(R) has been updating different versions of Crimzon RC Blaster. When it comes to production, Zilog will provide the lastest firmware and database.
