IR Receiver Modules for Remote Control Systems
Description
The TSOP17.. - series are miniaturized receivers for
infrared remote control systems. PIN diode and
preamplifier are assembled on lead frame, the epoxy
package is designed as IR filter.
The demodulated output signal can directly be
decoded by a microprocessor. TSOP17.. is the stan-
dard IR remote control receiver series, supporting all
major transmission codes.

Suitable Data Format
The circuit of the TSOP17.. is designed in that way
that unexpected output pulses due to noise or distur-
bance signals are avoided. A bandpassfilter, an inte-
grator stage and an automatic gain control are used
to suppress such disturbances.
The distinguishing mark between data signal and dis-
turbance signal are carrier frequency, burst length
and duty cycle.
The data signal should fulfill the following conditions:
• Carrier frequency should be close to center fre-
quency of the bandpass (e.g. 38 kHz).
• Burst length should be 10 cycles/burst or longer.
• After each burst which is between 10 cycles and 70
cycles a gap time of at least 14 cycles is necessary.
• For each burst which is longer than 1.8 ms a corre-
sponding gap time is necessary at some time in the

data stream. This gap time should have at least same
length as the burst.
• Up to 1400 short bursts per second can be received
continuously.
Some examples for suitable data format are: NEC
Code, Toshiba Micom Format, Sharp Code, RC5
Code, RC6 Code, R-2000 Code, Sony Format
(SIRCS).
When a disturbance signal is applied to the TSOP17..
it can still receive the data signal. However the sensi-
tivity is reduced to that level that no unexpected
pulses will occure.
Some examples for such disturbance signals which
are suppressed by the TSOP17.. are:
• DC light (e.g. from tungsten bulb or sunlight)
• Continuous signal at 38 kHz or at any other fre-
quency
• Signals from fluorescent lamps with electronic bal-
last (an example of the signal modulation is in the fig-
ure below).
