The RPM960-H14E3A is an infrared receiver module manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor. It is designed to receive and demodulate infrared signals from remote control devices, converting them into electrical signals that can be processed by a microcontroller or other digital circuits. These modules are typically used in consumer electronics and other applications where remote control functionality is required.

Applications

• Television sets and set-top boxes
• DVD and Blu-ray players
• Audio equipment (receivers, amplifiers)
• Air conditioners and other home appliances
• Remote-controlled toys and robots
• Lighting control systems

Features

• Compact package design
• High sensitivity and long reception range
• Excellent immunity to ambient light and noise
• Built-in preamplifier and automatic gain control (AGC)
• Carrier frequency: 37.9 kHz
• Supply voltage: 4.5V to 5.5V

Benefits

• Provides reliable infrared remote control reception
• Simplifies receiver circuit design
• Reduces the size and cost of remote control receiver circuits
• Ensures stable performance under various operating conditions
• Low power consumption

Additional Details

The RPM960-H14E3A integrates a PIN photodiode, a preamplifier, and a demodulation circuit into a single package. The AGC circuit automatically adjusts the receiver's sensitivity to maintain a stable output signal even with variations in the received infrared signal strength. The module is designed to reject noise from ambient light sources, such as fluorescent lights and sunlight. It has a peak sensitivity wavelength of 940nm. The output is active low, meaning it pulls low when an IR signal is detected. It is designed for a supply current of approximately 0.7mA. It is RoHS compliant.
