When either TX-RC (2pin) input TXD (3pin) input keeps the state of ''H'' (more than appproximately 48µs),
LED will be turned off due to LED pulse width limiting circuit if the pulse is input from the other terminal.
Therefore, don't use as the normal transmitting is impossible.
Please input the pulse when both TX-RC (2pin) and TXD (3pin) are ''L''.

zNotes
1) LEDVCC (1pin), VCC (6pin)
• Other power source can be used difference between LEDVCC and VCC.
2) Caution in designing board lay-out
To get maximum potential from RPM841-H11, please keep in mind following instruction.
• The line of RXD (4pin) should be connected at backside via through hole close to RPM841-H1 1 pin lead. Better not to
be close to photo diode side (7pin).
⇒This is to minimize feedback supplied to photo diode from RXD.
• As for C1 between 6-7 pin should be placed close to RPM841-H11.
• Better to be placed more than 1.0cm in radius from photo diode (pin7 side) and also aw ay from the p arts which
generates noise, such as DC
/
DC converter .
3) Notes
• Please be sure to set up the TX-RC (2pin) and the TXD (3pin) input to be “L” (under 0.3V) except transmitting data
(for < 90µs, ON duty ≤ 50%).
• Powe r down current might increase if exposed by str ong light (ex. direct sunlight) at powerdow n mode.
• Please use by the signal format at IrDA operating mode which is specified by IrDA V e r1.2 (2.4k to 115.2kbps). There
might be on error if used by dif ferent signal format.
• Please pay attention to the lens carefully.
Dusts of scratch on the lens may effect the characteristics of product. Please handle it w ith care.
