Vishay TSOP4838 Infrared Receiver Module

The TSOP4838 is an infrared receiver module designed for long burst remote control systems. It integrates a PIN diode and a preamplifier within an epoxy package that includes an IR filter. The demodulated output can be directly connected to a microcontroller for decoding purposes. This module is optimized to filter out spurious signals from energy-saving lamps such as CFLs. Features include low power consumption, internal PCM frequency filtering, enhanced EMI shielding, improved immunity to ambient light and supply noise, and a 38 kHz carrier frequency with a 45° directivity. It operates within a temperature range of -25°C to 85°C and has a supply current of approximately 950µA. It is suitable for signal processing applications but has not been qualified for automotive use.
