Vishay Intertechnology Enhances IR Receiver Modules in TSOP and TSSP Series
Summary
Key improvements include a 50% reduction in current consumption, heightened Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) resilience up to 12 kV, an expanded voltage range from 2.0 V to 5.5 V, a 20% increase in dark-ambient sensitivity, and bolstered performance under intense DC lighting. Employing Vishays latest internal IC technology, the upgrades ensure prolonged product availability and shorter lead times for customers. The TSOP18xx and TSOP58xx series are tailored for IR remote controls in TVs, soundbars, gaming consoles, set-top boxes, home appliances, and air conditioning units. With a sensitivity peak at 940 nm and a carrier frequency of 38 kHz, these devices are optimal for distance sensing in toys, drones, robots; object approach detection for activating displays and user interfaces; and garage door light barriers. They also serve as reflective sensors in hand dryers, dispensers, water faucets, toilets, vending machines, and security or pet gates.
