Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Optical Sensors - Photo Detectors - Remote Receiver TSOP38156

The TSOP38156-ND is an infrared (IR) receiver module designed for remote control systems, optimized for short burst transmissions in various environments. It features individual integrated circuit (IC) settings that allow users to select the appropriate automatic gain control (AGC) variant for their specific application, balancing noise suppression and code compatibility. The module includes a PIN diode and a preamplifier in a single package, with an epoxy housing that incorporates an IR filter. This device operates with a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V and has a low supply current, making it energy efficient. It is capable of receiving signals from a distance of up to 45 meters under optimal conditions. The TSOP38156-ND is not qualified for automotive specifications and is suitable for applications that require immunity against noise from sources such as lamps and Wi-Fi. The module's output can be directly interfaced with a microprocessor for decoding purposes.
