The GP1UE26SXKOF is a compact and sensitive infrared remote control receiver module manufactured by Sharp Microelectronics. It's designed to receive infrared signals modulated at a specific carrier frequency, typically 38kHz, and output a digital signal corresponding to the received data. This makes it suitable for a wide range of remote control applications in consumer electronics, industrial controls, and other devices.

Applications:

• Television remote controls
• DVD and Blu-ray player remote controls
• Audio equipment remote controls
• Air conditioner remote controls
• Industrial remote control systems
• Smart home automation systems

Features:

• Integrated photodiode and preamplifier
• High immunity against ambient light
• Low current consumption

Additional Details:

The GP1UE26SXKOF operates on a supply voltage typically around 3V to 5.5V. It's designed to detect infrared signals modulated at a specific carrier frequency, ensuring that it only responds to the intended remote control signal. The output is a digital signal that changes state when an infrared signal of the correct frequency is detected. It has a built-in filter that rejects unwanted ambient light and noise. The small form factor allows for easy integration into compact devices. Specific operating parameters, such as detection range and angle, should be verified with the manufacturer's datasheet. It is often paired with an IR LED that emits at the appropriate carrier frequency.
