Next-generation miniature IR receivers offer increased robustness against disturbances

New Yorker Electronics is offering Vishay Intertechnology’s next generation miniature IR receiver modules for IR remote control applications. The new devices in the range are the TSOP11xxx, TSOP12xxx, TSOP13xxx, TSOP14xxx and TSOP18xxx families delivering improved dark-ambient and disturbed-ambient sensitivity to infrared signals, as well as improved suppression of RF noise. These new IR receivers offer increased robustness against disturbances such as IR emissions from CFL lamps and RF emissions from on-board Wi-Fi antennas. Applications for these IR remote control units include STBs, televisions, air conditioners, audio systems, video projectors, cameras and video game systems. The devices are suitable for codes demanding even the tightest pulse-width specifications, such as SIRCS and RCMM. They display improved pulse-width accuracy for lower bit error rates and are insensitive to supply voltage variations and ripple noise. This leads to further simplified designs.
