Description
The Atmel
®
IC ATA2536T is a complete IR receiver for data communication developed and optimized for use in carrier-
frequency-modulated transmission applications. The IC combines small size with high sensitivity as well as high suppression
of noise from daylight and lamps. An innovative and patented pad layout offers unique flexibility for assembly of IR receiver
modules. The Atmel ATA2536T is recommended in LCD TV application (noise environment by backlight interference) with
IR protocols using 375µs maximum burst length of data bits, available with standard frequencies (36, 37, 38, 40kHz) and 3
different noise suppression regulation types (standard, lamp, short burst). The ATA2536T operates in a supply voltage range
of 2.7V to 5.5V.
The function of the Atmel ATA2536T can be described using the block diagram of
Figure 1-1 on page 2.
The input stage has
two main functions. Firstly, it provides a suitable bias voltage for the PIN diode. Secondly, the pulsed photo-current signals
are transformed into a voltage by a special circuit, which is optimized for low noise applications. After amplification by a
Controlled Gain Amplifier (CGA), the signals have to pass a tuned integrated narrow bandpass filter with a center frequency
f
0
, which is equivalent to the chosen carrier frequency of the input signal. The demodulator is used to convert the input burst
signal to a digital envelope output pulse and to evaluate the signal information quality, i.e., unwanted pulses will be
suppressed at the output pin. All this is done by means of an integrated dynamic feedback circuit, which varies the gain as a
function of the present environmental conditions (ambient light, modulated lamps etc.). Other special features are used to
adapt to the current application to secure best transmission quality.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating
only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
