TSOP38338 Integrated IR receiver; 38kHz; 45°; 2.5÷5.5V

The TSOP38338 is a miniature infrared (IR) receiver module designed for remote control systems and IR data transmission. This integrated receiver combines a photodiode and a preamplifier into a single epoxy package, making it easy to use and integrate into various electronic devices. It is specifically tuned to receive IR signals modulated at a carrier frequency of 38kHz, which is a common standard for remote controls. The receiver has a wide acceptance angle of ±45 degrees, allowing it to receive signals from a broad range of directions. Its operating voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V makes it compatible with a variety of power supplies and microcontrollers.

This IR receiver module is designed to detect IR signals that have been modulated with a 38kHz carrier frequency. This modulation technique helps to filter out ambient light and noise, ensuring reliable detection of the desired IR signals. The integrated preamplifier amplifies the weak signal received by the photodiode, improving the sensitivity and range of the receiver. The TSOP38338 also includes an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit, which adjusts the gain of the amplifier to compensate for variations in signal strength, ensuring consistent performance under different lighting conditions.

The TSOP38338 is commonly used in remote control systems for televisions, DVD players, audio equipment, and other consumer electronics devices. It can also be used in IR data transmission applications, such as wireless communication between devices or remote sensing. Its compact size and ease of use make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from hobbyist projects to industrial control systems. The receiver's robust design and compliance with industry standards ensure reliable and interoperable performance.

One of the key advantages of the TSOP38338 is its ability to reject ambient light and noise, which can interfere with IR signal detection. The 38kHz carrier frequency modulation and the integrated AGC circuit help to minimize the effects of ambient light and noise, ensuring reliable detection of the desired IR signals. Its wide acceptance angle also makes it easier to use, as it does not require precise alignment with the IR transmitter. The receiver's low power consumption and wide operating voltage range make it compatible with a variety of power supplies and microcontrollers.
