Inputs
Outputs
The IRMS5000 Microline Infrared Data Transceiver consists of
a detector photodiode, an IR LED transmitter, an IC containing
ambient light suppressor and Automatic Gain control circuitry
(AGC).
The ambient light suppressor can cancel up to 10 mW/cm at
5.0 V. This will typically allow operation in all but direct sunlight.

The AGC in the IC is to keep the system output constant by
varying the gain to accommodate a wide range of input signals.
It also provides noise immunity in the high noise ambient envi-
ronment.

For normal operation of the transmit and receiver modes, the
Shut Down (SD) pin should be held low. It is recommended
that this pin be connected to GND if Shut Down (SD) feature is
not used.
In receive mode, the receiver output (RxD) which normally
stays high, will go low for duration of the received pulses. It is a
push-pull CMOS driver capable of driving a standard CMOS or
TTL load. No external pull-up or pull-down resistor is required.
