The MCP2155-I/SO is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component designed by Microchip Technology. It offers a range of key features that make it suitable for various applications.
One of the main features of the MCP2155-I/SO is its high level of integration. It combines an IR (Infrared) encoder with an MCU (Microcontroller Unit) interface, making it a versatile solution for IR remote control applications. This integration eliminates the need for additional external components, reducing the overall system complexity and cost.
The MCP2155-I/SO supports various IR protocols, including NEC, SONY, RC5, RC6, RCMM, and RECS80. This broad compatibility makes it suitable for controlling a wide range of devices, from home appliances to consumer electronics.
Another notable feature is the built-in programmable EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). This allows users to store and configure the IR codes, enabling customization for specific applications. Additionally, the EEPROM offers reliable non-volatile memory storage, ensuring the codes remain intact even in power-off situations.
To enhance flexibility, the MCP2155-I/SO offers multiple communication interfaces. It has both SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) and I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) interfaces, allowing seamless integration with various microcontrollers. This versatility enables users to choose the most suitable interface for their specific application requirements
