Abstract
An integrated circuit includes an infrared transceiver section that is coupled to generate an outbound infrared signal from a first outbound symbol stream and to convert an inbound infrared signal into a first inbound symbol stream. A wireless transceiver section is coupled to generate an outbound RF signal from a second outbound symbol stream and to convert an inbound RF signal into a second inbound symbol stream. A processing module is coupled to convert first outbound data into the first outbound symbol stream, convert second outbound data into the second outbound symbol stream, convert the first inbound symbol stream into first inbound data, and to convert the second inbound symbol stream into second inbound data. The integrated circuit can be used in a game controller or other device. A transmission line of the infrared transceiver section can be used as an antenna for the wireless transceiver section.
