PD6121, 6122
REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMISSION CMOS IC
MOS INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
The
µPD6121,
6122 are infrared remote control transmission ICs using the NEC transmission format that are ideally
suited for TVs, VCRs, audio equipment, air conditioners, etc. By combining external diodes and resistors, a maximum
of 65,536 custom codes can be specified. These ICs come in small packages, thus facilitating the design of light
and compact remote control transmitters.
The NEC transmission format consists of leader codes, custom codes (16 bits), and data codes (16 bits). It can
be used for various systems through decoding by a microcontroller.

PIN FUNCTIONS
(1) Key input pins (KI
0
to KI
7
), key input/output pins (KI/O
0
to KI/O
7
)
A pull-down resistor is placed between key input pins and a V
SS
pin. When several keys are pressed
simultaneously, the transmission of the corresponding signals is inhibited by a multiple-input prevention circuit.
In the case of double-key input, transmission is inhibited if both keys are pressed simultaneously (within 36 ms
interval); if not pressed simultaneously, the priority of transmission is first key, then second key.
When a key is pressed, the custom code and data code reading is initiated, and 36 ms later, output to REM output
is initiated. Thus if the key is pressed during the initial 36 ms, one transmission is performed. If a key is kept
pressed for 108 ms or longer, only leader codes are consecutively transmitted until the key is released.
Keys can be operated intermittently at intervals as short as 126 ms (interval between two on’s), making this an
extremely fast-response system.
(2)
Resonator connection pins (OSCI, OSCO)
The oscillator starts operating when it receives a key input. Use a ceramic resonator with a frequency between
400 and 500 kHz.
(3) Power-supply pin
The power supply voltage is supplied by two 3-V batteries. A broad range of operating power supply voltage is
allowed, from 2.0 to 3.3 V. The supply current falls below 1
µA
when the oscillator is inactive when no keys are
pressed.
(4) REM output pin
The REM output pin outputs the transmission code, which consists of the leader code, custom code (16 bits),
and data code (16 bits) (Refer to
2. NEC TRANSMISSION FORMAT (REM OUTPUT)).
(5) SEL input pin
By controlling D
7
of the data code with this pin, the
µPD6121
and
µPD6122
can transmit 64 and 128 different
data codes, respectively. By connecting the SEL pin to V
DD
or V
SS
, D
7
is set to “0” or “1”, respectively.
This pin has high-impedance input, therefore be sure to connect it either to V
DD
or V
SS
.
(6) CCS input pin
By placing a diode between the CCS pin and the KI/O pin, it is possible to set a custom code. When a diode
is connected, the corresponding custom code is “1”, and when not connected, it is “0”.
(7) LMP output pin
The LMP pin outputs a low-level signal while the REM pin outputs a transmission code.

2.
NEC TRANSMISSION FORMAT (REM OUTPUT)
The NEC transmission format consists of the transmission of a leader code, 16-bit custom codes (Custom
Code, Custom Code’), and 16-bit data codes (Data Code, Data Code) at one time, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Also refer to
4. REMOTE OUTPUT WAVEFORM.
Data Code is the inverted code of Data Code.
The leader code consists of a 9-ms carrier waveform and a 4.5-ms OFF waveform and is used as leader for
the ensuing code to facilitate reception detection.
Codes use the PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) method, and the signals “1” and “0” are fixed by the interval
between pulses.

Cautions 1. Use any of the possible 256 kinds of custom codes specified with 00xxH (diode not
connected), as desired. If intending to use custom codes other than 00xxH, please consult
NEC in order to avoid various types of errors from occurring between systems.
2. When receiving data in the NEC transmission format, check that the 32 bits made up of the
16-bit custom code (Custom Code, Custom Code’) and the 16-bit data code (Data Code, Data
Code) are fully decoded, and that there are no signals with the 33rd bit and after (be sure
to check also Data Code).
