The NEC protocol is one of the most widely used standards for infrared (IR) communication in home automation applications like television remotes. It’s known for its robust and straightforward pulse-distance encoding scheme.

This article demonstrates how the Renesas SLG47011 can implement NEC protocol control logic efficiently by leveraging its built-in resources, eliminating the need for external components or complex microcontroller code. The SLG47011’s configurable architecture supports up to nine user-defined commands through the Memory Table Configurator, making it adaptable for a range of IR remote-control applications.
