Vishay Intertechnology announces that it has upgraded its TSOP18xx, TSOP58xx, and TSSP5xx series of infrared (IR) receiver modules for remote control, proximity sensing, and light barrier applications. Offered in Minicast packages, the enhanced solutions provide drop-in, plug and play replacements for existing devices in the series, while offering 50 % lower current consumption, improved ESD robustness to 12 kV, a wider voltage range from
2.0 V to 5.5 V, 20 % higher dark-ambient sensitivity, and improved performance under strong DC light.
- By upgrading the IR receivers with Vishay’s latest in-house IC, the company is assuring the long term availability of the products — with reduced lead times — for its customers. And as drop-in replacements for existing devices, the modules help save costs by eliminating the need for PCB redesigns
The Key Specifications:
- Supply current (typ.): 0.45 mA
- Supply voltage range: 2.0 V to 5.5 V
- Carrier frequency:
