The TSOP6238 is a series of miniaturized IR receiver modules for infrared remote control systems manufactured by Vishay. These receivers are designed to receive modulated infrared signals at a specific carrier frequency (38 kHz in this case). These are commonly used in consumer electronics devices such as televisions, DVD players, and audio equipment, and other devices requiring IR remote control.

Applications:

• Infrared Remote Control Systems
• Televisions
• DVD Players
• Audio Equipment
• Set-Top Boxes

Features:

• Carrier Frequency: 38 kHz
