TSOP24..YA1
Vishay Semiconductors
IR Receiver Modules for Remote Control Systems
Description
The TSOP24..YA1 - series are miniaturized receivers
for infrared remote control systems. PIN diode and
preamplifier are assembled on lead frame, the epoxy
package is designed as IR filter.
The demodulated output signal can directly be
decoded by a microprocessor. The main benefit is the
reliable function even in disturbed ambient and the
protection against uncontrolled output pulses.

TSOP24..YA1
Vishay Semiconductors
Suitable Data Format
The circuit of the TSOP24..YA1 is designed in that
way that unexpected output pulses due to noise or
disturbance signals are avoided. A bandpass filter, an
integrator stage and an automatic gain control are
used to suppress such disturbances.
The distinguishing mark between data signal and dis-
turbance signal are carrier frequency, burst length
and duty cycle.
The data signal should fulfill the following conditions:
• Carrier frequency should be close to center fre-
quency of the bandpass (e.g. 38 kHz).
• Burst length should be 10 cycles/burst or longer.
• After each burst which is between 10 cycles and 35
cycles a gap time of at least 14 cycles is necessary.
• For each burst which is longer than 1.0 ms a corre-
sponding gap time is necessary at some time in the
data stream. This gap time should be at least 7 times
longer than the burst.
• Up to 400 short bursts per second can be received
continuously.
Some examples for suitable data format are: NEC
Code, Toshiba Micom Format, Sharp Code, RC5
Code, R-2000 Code.
When a disturbance signal is applied to the
TSOP24..YA1 it can still receive the data signal. How-
ever the sensitivity is reduced to that level that no
unexpected pulses will occur.
Some examples for such disturbance signals which
are suppressed by the TSOP24..YA1 are:
• DC light (e.g. from tungsten bulb or sunlight)
• Continuous signal at 38 kHz or at any other fre-
quency
• Signals from fluorescent lamps with electronic bal-
last with high or low modulation
(see Figure 13 or Figure 14).
