[nRF5340] nRF5340 with IrDA

[DDYD1]

Hello.

Is it possible to use IrDA on the nRF5340 by any chance?
Please let me know if there are any relevant libraries or features

Thank you.

Hi

The nRF5340 does not have an infrared antenna, so that won't be possible using the nRF5340 as a transceiver at least. The radio peripheral on the nRF5340 support 2.4GHz communication, like Thread, Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, etc.

Best regards,

Simon

Yes, maybe have a look at the Nordic Smart Remote 3 which has IrDA, hardware design and software should be available for download; if I recall correctly IrDA is available in nrfx using a UART peripheral though IrDA can be implemented also with PWM or Timer. nRF5340 can do anything the nRF52 can do.

Also check the nRF5340 Thingy53 which I think also has IrDA .. oh, maybe not

Thanks to your answer!

I think I need IrDA to UART converter for my project.
