PC IrDA interface

DIY IR interface

This circuit is also from www.electronics-lab.com. Since it is very hard for me to get the infrared interface (TFDU4100), I start to look in the old/damage handphones. It looks something like this.
 
Now, you need to remove it using the hot air blower perhaps.

Connecting to motherboard

Please refer to www.electronics-lab.com on how connect this irda module to your motherboard.

Here are the pin layout and picture of the device.
 

Pin Description of TFDU4100

Pin Number	Function	Description	I/O	Active
1	IRED Anode	IRED anode, should be externally connected to VCC2 through a current control resistor
2	IRED Cathode	IRED cathode, internally connected to driver transistor
3	Txd	Transmit Data Input	1	High
4	Rxd	Received Data Output, open collector. No external pull–up or pull–down resistor is required (20 k. resistor internal to device). Pin is inactive during transmission.	0	Low
5	NC	Do not connect
6	VCC1/SD	Supply Voltage / Shutdown
7	SC	Sensitivity control	1	High
8	GND	Ground
