The IR-DX8 functions as the encoder or the decoder. When configured to decode, the IR-DX8 has 8 x 25mA digital drive outputs configurable as either latching or momentary. Configured as the encoder the IR-DX8 has 8 button inputs.

Total flexibility in a single 18-pin package.

The IR-DX8:

Need a "Super Simple" 8-bit infrared remote control IC that can function as the encoder or the decoder, has latching or momentary outputs, up to 25mA drive capacity per output pin, can operate from 3 to 5 VDC, and it's incredibly simple to use..?

Look no further. We have it. Build your next infrared remote control system using the same IC for the encoder & decoder circuits.

Latching or Momentary Outputs

The logic applied to the L/M pin selects latching or momentary output modes when the IR-DX8 is configured for decode mode. You control it. Here's how.

Decode Mode / Latching Outputs:
MODE = Vdd (Decode Function Selected)
L/M = Vdd (Latching Outputs Selected)
R/T = Receives IR Signal From Detector
A0-A4 = 5-Bit Address Inputs
D0-D7 = 8-Bit Latching Outputs

Decode Mode / Momentary Outputs:
MODE = Vdd (Decode Function Selected)
L/M = Ground (Momentary Outputs Selected)
R/T = Receives IR Signal From Detector
A0-A4 = 5-Bit Address Inputs
D0-D7 = 8-Bit Momentary Outputs

Encode Mode:
MODE = Ground (Encode Function Selected)
L/M = Ground or Vdd (Used Only by Decoder)
R/T = 40kHz Transmit Output For IR LED
A0-A4 = 5-Bit Address Inputs
D0-D7 = 8-Bit Data Input (Button Inputs)

No more worries about finding the encoder/decoder combination that works for your application, or a decoder with beefy drive outputs.

The IR-DX8 combines the functionality of both encoder and decoder in a single package with several unique features for enhanced operation and a reduced component count for infrared transmitter and receiver circuits.

Build your remote control system with a single IC that can function as the encoder or decoder, has latching or momentary decoder outputs, and 8 data outputs.
