IR Remote Controllers and receivers follow standard protocols for sending and receiving the data. Some of the standard protocols are NEC , JVC , SIRC (Sony Infrared Remote Control) etc. We will be discussing only the NEC protocol. After understanding the frame format of IR Remote, We will be interfacing a IR receiver with 8051 and decode the key pressed.

NEC Protocol

NEC IR protocol encodes the keys using a 32bit frame format as shown below. Each bit is transmitted using the pulse distance as shown below. Logical '0': A 562.5µs pulse burst followed by a 562.5µs space, with a total transmit time of 1.125ms Logical '0': A 562.5µs pulse burst followed by a 1.6875ms space, with a total transmit time of 2.25ms
