Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Optical Sensors - Photo Detectors - Remote Receiver TSOP6236TR

The TSOP6236 is an infrared receiver module designed for remote control applications, optimized for long burst codes. It operates at a carrier frequency of 36 kHz and is suitable for various remote control protocols. The device features individual integrated circuit (IC) settings to enhance performance, allowing users to select the appropriate automatic gain control (AGC) variant for their specific application, balancing noise immunity and code compatibility. This module has a supply voltage range of 2.0 V to 5.5 V and a low supply current, making it energy efficient. It includes a PIN diode and a preamplifier in a single package, with an epoxy housing that incorporates an infrared filter. The output signal can be directly interfaced with a microprocessor for decoding purposes. The TSOP6236 is not qualified for automotive applications and is intended for use in environments where noise from lamps, LCD TVs, and Wi-Fi may be present. Engineers considering this product should note its operational temperature range of -25 ¬8C to +85 ¬8C and its ability to transmit signals over distances of up to 40 meters under optimal conditions. The device is packaged in a surface-mount configuration, facilitating integration into various electronic designs.
