Vishay 38 kHz IR Receiver 3-Pin Through Hole TSOP2238 2.5 V to 5.5 V Supply 45 m Range ±45° Angle TSOP Package

Vishay TSOP2238 is a highly reliable 38 kHz IR receiver module designed for infrared remote control systems. This module integrates a PIN diode and a preamplifier on a lead frame, enclosed in a compact TSOP package with dimensions of 6 mm length, 6.95 mm height, and 5.6 mm width. It operates effectively with a supply voltage ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V and exhibits low power consumption with a supply current of 900μA, ensuring efficient energy usage.

The device features a ±45° angle of half transmission distance and a maximum transmission distance of up to 45 meters, making it suitable for long-range IR signal reception. Its output is demodulated and can be directly connected to microprocessors for streamlined decoding processes. The TSOP2238 demonstrates improved immunity against high-frequency and radio-frequency noise, maintaining strong performance even in the presence of potential interference sources such as Wi-Fi and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs).

Designed specifically for through-hole mounting with a 3-pin configuration and tape & reel packaging, this receiver module supports efficient use in manufacturing and assembly environments. Its ambient operating temperature range from -25°C to 85°C enables reliable operation across diverse industrial and commercial applications.

While the TSOP2238 is advanced in noise suppression and sensitivity, it is not qualified for automotive standards. This product complies with JEDEC standards, ensuring industry-accepted quality and compatibility.
