Buffers and Throughput

The IR data rate of the MCP2140A is fixed at

9.6 kbaud. The actual throughput will be less due to

several factors. Many significant factors are under the

control of the developer. One factor beyond the control

of the designer is the overhead associated with the

IrDA standard.

Depending on the application, throughput may be an

issue in one or both directions.

2.10.1

THROUGHPUT

Throughput is dependant on the direction that the data

is streaming and the characteristics of the Primary

Device and Secondary Device. Streaming throughput

from the Secondary Device may be different with

different Primary Devices. Also streaming throughput

from the Secondary Device may be different than

streaming throughput to the Secondary Device, with

the same Primary Device. Throughput examples are

shown in Table 2-4. These examples are based on

actual observed data communications.

Figure 2-11

shows

example

communications

sequence between a Primary Device and a Secondary

Device (MCP2140A). In this example after the “Primary

Device Sends Open Link Frame”, the time for the

Secondary Devices response is fixed by the operation

of the MCP2140A. After the “Primary Device Decodes

Secondary Device Response” the “Primary Device

Responds to Secondary Device”. Throughput may be

improved if the application program can be written so

that the Primary Device response as fast as possible.

Also when the “Secondary Device Sends Data”, the

frame should have the maximum number of data bytes.

Figure 2-12 shows the screen-capture of a Host

Controller (and MCP2140A) streaming (transmitting)

250 bytes to a Primary Device (PIC24 + IrDA Standard

Stack Library).

Figure 2-13 shows the screen-capture of a MCP2140A

(and Host Controller) receiving 250 streamed bytes

from a Primary Device (PIC24 + IrDA Standard Stack

Library).

Figure 2-14 shows a second screen-capture of a Host

Controller (and MCP2140A) streaming (transmitting)

250 bytes to a Primary Device (Notebook PC with IR

port).

Note:

IrDA throughput is based on many factors

associated with characteristics of the

Primary and Secondary devices. These

characteristics may cause your through-

put to be more or less than is shown in

Table 2-4.
