IR Receiver. Infrared photo receiver component for remote control systems.
It works in the 38KHZ standard and supports voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V, allowing direct connection to an Arduino (5V) or Raspberry (3.3V), for example.
Pin Description
| Pin Number | Pin Name | Description |
| 1 | Signal | The signal pin gives out the sequence based on the IR signal detected |
| 2 | Ground | Connected to the Ground of the circuit |
| 3 | Vcc | Typically connect to +5V |
Specifications:
- Operating Voltage: 2.5V to 5.5V. Typically +5V is used.
- Can detect IR signals from Remotes (38kHz)
- Operating current: 5mA
- High Range and wide coverage area.
- Will respond only to IR signals, due to high immunity against ambient light
- Low power consumption
- Has in-built pre-amplifier
- TTL and CMOS compatible
Where to use Sensor
The sensor has the ability to read the output signals from home remotes like TV remotes, Home theatre remotes, AC remotes,s, etc. All these remotes will work with a frequency of 38kHz and this IC can pick up any IR signals process them and provide the output on pin 3. So if you are looking for a sensor to analyze, re-create, or duplicate the functions of a remote then this IC will be the perfect choice for you.
Also, keep in mind that this series will receive only 38Khz IR signals
Applications:
- Receive IR signals
- Decode Remote signals
- Analyse, re-create, or duplicate remote Signals
- Wireless control applications
- Receiver circuit for IR remote controls
- IR Remote tester circuits
