Crimzon RC Blaster™
Development Kit
Quick Start Guide
Introduction
Zilog’s Crimzon RC Blaster
TM
is an integrated circuit that extends universal remote con-
trol function into different embedded systems. RC Blaster is based on Zilog’s ZLF645
64K Flash based IR microcontroller. RC Blaster functions as a Slave to any Master CPU
with UART/I
2
C capabilities. It has a hardware UART and a software I
2
C for communicat-
ing with the Master CPU. RC Blaster also supports infrared (IR) transmission and the IR
learning feature. A comprehensive IR database is included in RC Blaster that covers TV,
DVD, VCR, satellite, cable, and audio in North America as well as satellite and cable in
Europe. The UART supports 19,200/9,600 baud two-way full-duplex communication. The
I
2
C software supports up to 10 kbps with handshaking pins. RC Blaster supports different
configurations of UART/I
2
C using hardware jumpers and user I/O control through soft-
ware commands.
