The IRM-H636/TR2 is a miniaturized infrared receiver module from Everlight Electronics, designed for infrared remote control systems. This module integrates a photodiode, preamplifier, and post-amplifier into a single epoxy package. It's specifically designed to receive infrared signals modulated at a carrier frequency of 36kHz, making it compatible with a wide range of standard IR remote control protocols.

Applications:

• Infrared remote control systems for televisions
• Remote control of DVD players
• Audio equipment remote controls
• Set-top box remote controls
• Remote control of various household appliances (air conditioners, fans, lighting)
• Wireless toys and games

Features:

• Miniature package size
• High immunity against ambient light
• Continuous data transmission possible up to 2400 bps
• Low power consumption
• Photo detector and preamplifier in one package
• Internal filter for PCM frequency
• Supply voltage: 2.7V to 5.5V
• Carrier frequency: 36 kHz

Benefits:

• Simplified system design: The integrated module reduces the number of external components required, simplifying the design and assembly process.
• Improved performance: The high immunity to ambient light ensures reliable operation even in brightly lit environments.
• Reduced power consumption: The low power consumption extends battery life in portable applications.
• Compact size: The miniature package allows for integration into small and space-constrained devices.
• Robust performance: The module is designed to withstand a wide range of operating conditions, ensuring reliable performance over time.

Additional Details:

The IRM-H636/TR2 operates at a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and features a typical receiving distance of up to 12 meters, depending on the transmitter's power and environmental conditions. It is RoHS compliant. The output is an active low signal; when an infrared signal is detected, the output goes low. It is available in tape and reel packaging for automated assembly processes. The epoxy package provides good protection against moisture and other environmental factors.
