• 3.0V to 5.5V operating voltage
• Carrier frequency of 38kHz
• Low power consumption

Benefits

• Simplified design and reduced component count due to integrated functionality.
• Improved noise immunity due to internal filtering.
• Extended operating range due to high sensitivity.
• Low power consumption for energy-efficient operation.
• Compact size for integration into small devices.

Additional Details

The GP1UE282RKC1 operates with a carrier frequency around 38 kHz, which is a common standard for IR remote controls. The module outputs a digital signal that corresponds to the received IR signal. The integrated filter effectively blocks visible light, preventing interference from ambient lighting. The supply voltage ranges from 3.0V to 5.5V, offering flexibility in power supply design. This IR receiver module is commonly used in a wide variety of consumer electronics and other applications where IR remote control functionality is required. The compact size and ease of use make it a popular choice for designers. The output is typically active low, meaning the output is low when an IR signal is received and high when no signal is present. The module is designed for through-hole mounting.
