Additional Details:

The Vishay TSOP1256 operates on a supply voltage typically between 2.5V and 5.5V. The module's output is a digital signal that corresponds to the presence or absence of the modulated IR signal. The package type is usually a through-hole or surface-mount package with three pins: VCC, GND, and OUT. The viewing angle is typically wide, allowing for greater flexibility in the positioning of the remote control. The module is designed to be robust against various types of interference and to provide reliable performance in a wide range of operating conditions. It is commonly used in consumer electronics and other applications where remote control functionality is required.
