VS838 Infrared Sensor Module TSOP
The VS838 Infrared Sensor Module TSOP is a highly sensitive 38kHz infrared receiver designed for remote control signal detection. It integrates a photodiode and preamplifier circuit in a compact epoxy package, providing excellent immunity against ambient light and electrical noise. This module can detect standard IR signals from most remote controls and convert them into clean digital output pulses, making it ideal for use in TVs, set-top boxes, Arduino projects, and other microcontroller-based systems. Its 3-pin design (VCC, GND, OUT) allows for easy interfacing and stable performance even in varying light conditions.
Features
- Operates at a carrier frequency of 38kHz for standard remote controls.
