10.5.1.13 Infrared Selection Register

The Slow Infrared (SIR) Interface can be used — in conjunction with a standard UART

— to support two-way, wireless communications using infrared radiation. The register

provides a transmit encoder and receive decoder to support a physical link which

conforms to the Infrared Data Association Serial Infrared Specification.

For this application, however, the infrared mode will not be used. This register is

included in the address map and register description section so software can ensure

that this mode is never enabled.
