The Vishay TSSP6038TT is a miniaturized infrared (IR) receiver module for remote control systems. It is designed to receive IR signals modulated at a carrier frequency of 38 kHz, commonly used in remote controls for TVs, DVD players, and other consumer electronics. The module includes a photodiode, preamplifier, and demodulating circuit, all integrated into a single package.

Applications:

• Remote Control Systems: Used as the IR receiver in TVs, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other consumer electronics.
• Light Barriers: Employed in light barrier systems for object detection.
• Proximity Sensors: Integrated into proximity sensors for non-contact detection.
• IR Data Transmission: Utilized in IR-based data transmission systems.
• Touchless Switches: Found in touchless switch applications.

Features:

• Miniaturized Package: Compact size allows for easy integration into space-constrained applications.
• High Sensitivity: Provides reliable detection of weak IR signals.
• Improved Immunity against Ambient Light: Reduces false triggering due to ambient light sources.
• Low Supply Current: Minimizes power consumption.
• Fast Response Time: Quickly responds to IR signals for timely control actions.

Benefits:

• Reliable Remote Control Performance: Ensures accurate and responsive remote control operation.
• Reduced Power Consumption: Low supply current extends battery life in portable devices.
• Simplified Design: Integrated module simplifies circuit design and reduces component count.
• Enhanced Noise Immunity: Minimizes false triggering for reliable operation in noisy environments.
• Compact Size: Allows for integration into small and portable devices.

Additional Details:

The TSSP6038TT operates on a supply voltage of 2.5 V to 5.5 V and has a typical supply current of 0.7 mA. The carrier frequency is 38 kHz. The module is designed to filter out unwanted noise and ambient light, ensuring reliable detection of IR signals from remote controls. The output of the module is active low, meaning it goes low when an IR signal is detected. The module is RoHS compliant and suitable for a wide range of consumer and industrial applications.
