AN2957 is specifically for RC5 IR transmitter. I need implementation support for Reciver/Detector using STM8 series of MCUs.There is AN3174 which has the basics of RC5 but the implementation is focussed on STM32 series.
Can we have STM8 MCUs without the Thermal and Static Protection and make arrangements for the Black Dot ( as seen on Calculators ) for our Product's Board. Are there any other Solutions available ?
