The TSFF6410 is a surface-mount infrared (IR) receiver module designed for remote control systems. This device is part of Vishay's broader range of IR receivers and is optimized for receiving IR signals modulated at specific carrier frequencies. It integrates a photodiode, preamplifier, and an internal filter to enhance the reception of remote control signals while minimizing interference from ambient light and other sources.

Applications

• Infrared remote control systems for televisions
• Set-top boxes
• Audio equipment (e.g., amplifiers, receivers, CD players)
• DVD and Blu-ray players
• Air conditioners and other home appliances with remote control functionality
• Remote control for toys and robotic systems

Features

• Improved immunity against ambient light
• Low supply current
• Photo detector and preamplifier in one package
• Internal filter for PCM frequency
• TTL and CMOS compatibility
• Suitable burst length: >= 6 carrier cycles
• Carrier frequency: 30 kHz to 56 kHz

Benefits

• Enhanced reliability and performance in noisy environments due to improved immunity against ambient light.
• Reduced power consumption due to low supply current, which is particularly important in battery-powered devices.
• Simplified design and reduced component count because of the integrated photodiode and preamplifier.
• Easy interfacing with microcontrollers and digital logic circuits due to TTL and CMOS compatibility.
• Versatile application in various remote control systems due to its wide carrier frequency range.

The TSFF6410 is typically supplied in a molded plastic package suitable for surface mounting. The device operates over a wide supply voltage range, typically from 2.5V to 5.5V, and has excellent sensitivity to IR signals modulated at its specified carrier frequency. The output signal is an active low signal, meaning that the output is low when an IR signal is detected and high when no signal is present.
