The MCP2140A currently has three Demo/Develop-
ment boards that can be used to demonstrate or
evaluate the MCP2140A. These boards are:
• MCP215x/40 Data Logger Demo Board
• MCP215x/40 Developers Daughter Board
• MCP2140 Wireless Temperature Sensor Demo
These boards have not been tested with the
MCP2140A, but the supplied device can easily be
replaced with the MCP2140A. The waveshaping circuit
of the MCP2140 will need to be modified. See
Section 2.13 “Optical Interface” for additional infor-
mation on modifing the MCP2140 wave shaping circuit.

Part Number: MCP215XDM
Devices Supported: MCP2150, MCP2155,
MCP2140, and MCP2140A
The MCP215X IrDA Data Logger Demo Board
demonstrates the MCP2150 (or MCP2155) IrDA
Standard Protocol Stack Controller device in a real
world application. The system designer can use this
design as an example of how to integrate an IrDA
standard port in their embedded system.
