Abstract
An infrared communication system includes a recongifurable RAM-based programmable logic device (PLD), an EPROM to provide configuration instructions to the PLD, and a clock supplying a clock signal to the PLD. A data input device and infrared transceiver are coupled to the PLD. The configured PLD uses the clock signal to synchronize data transfer between the data input device and the infrared transceiver.
