The BC7215 is capable of automatically identifying and decoding over 99.5% of air conditioner remote control protocols and over 98% of various audio/video and other infrared controlled devices. Upon reception, it directly decodes and outputs raw data; conversely, it can transmit data over infrared signals in a specified format simply by inputting raw data.
Due to its support for raw data input and output, it is also suitable for infrared data communication.
The BC7215 utilizes a UART interface, enabling direct connection with various MCUs, embedded systems, and Linux, Android, or Windows platforms without the need for low-level drivers or complex I/O-level programming.
- Automatic Recognition: Automatically identifies IR encoding formats.
- Raw Data I/O: Supports direct input and output of raw data.
- Bidirectional Communication: Suitable for bidirectional IR data communication.
- Universal Compatibility: UART interface works with a wide range of hardware and software systems.
- Integrated Hardware: Built-in IR transmitter driver and carrier generator.
- Operating Voltage: 2.7–5.5V
- Package: SO8
