The UPD6252GS-E2 operates by receiving input signals corresponding to button presses on the remote control. It then encodes these signals into a specific format and transmits them as infrared light pulses. The receiving device decodes these pulses to determine the intended command. Specifics regarding the encoding protocol, electrical characteristics, and pinout are detailed in the device datasheet. It is crucial to consult the datasheet for proper implementation and integration of the UPD6252GS-E2 into a remote control system.
