Overview
Equivalent
- TSOP38238 (similar specs, 38kHz)
- VS1838 (earlier version)
- TL1838 (compatible)
- IRM-3638 (same function)
- HS0038B (common replacement)
These are pin-compatible and operate at 38kHz. Check datasheets for minor variations in sensitivity or voltage range.
Features
- Carrier Frequency: 38kHz (compatible with most IR remotes).
- Supply Voltage: 2.7V–5.5V (low power consumption).
- Output Signal: Active LOW (demodulated signal).
- Range: Up to 18 meters (depending on conditions).
- Package: 3-pin (VCC, GND, OUT).
- Immunity: Good noise suppression against ambient light.
- Compatibility: Works with NEC, RC5, Sony, and other IR protocols.
Compact and widely used in TVs, ACs, and DIY projects.
Pinout
Pinout and Functions:
1. OUT (Output) – Demodulated IR signal output (active low).
2. GND (Ground) – Connected to system ground.
3. VCC (Power Supply) – Typically operates at 5V.
Key Features:
- Receives 38kHz modulated IR signals.
- Built-in AGC (Automatic Gain Control) for stable performance.
- Low power consumption.
Used in TVs, air conditioners, and other IR-controlled devices.
Application
1. Remote Controls – For TVs, air conditioners, and home appliances.
2. Home Automation – IR signal reception in smart devices.
3. DIY Electronics – Arduino/Raspberry Pi projects for IR communication.
4. Consumer Electronics – Decoding signals in audio/video equipment.
5. Security Systems – IR-based sensor applications.
It detects 38kHz modulated IR signals, making it ideal for low-cost, short-range wireless control.
