Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Optical Sensors - Photo Detectors - Remote Receiver TSOP38236

The TSOP38236-ND is an infrared (IR) receiver module designed for remote control systems, optimized for long burst codes. It features individual integrated circuit (IC) settings to enhance performance, allowing users to select the appropriate automatic gain control (AGC) variant for their specific application. The device includes a PIN diode and a preamplifier in a single package, with an epoxy housing that incorporates an IR filter. This module operates with a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V and has a low supply current, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications. It demonstrates immunity to noise from various sources, such as lamps and Wi-Fi, which enhances its reliability in diverse environments. The output signal can be directly interfaced with a microprocessor for decoding purposes. The TSOP38236-ND is not qualified for automotive specifications and is intended for general remote control applications.
