In summary, IR Receivers are primarily used for remote control of consumer electronic devices such as televisions, DVR’s, notebook PC’s and sound systems. For optimum performance an infrared receiver must receive data signals while rejecting all other sources of noise. This is accomplished in several ways including coding schemes, automatic gain control (AGC) algorithms, optical filtering, and EMI shielding. Other benefits of Vishay IR receivers include four different AGC response algorithms, a wide selection of package options, and the flexibility to position the senor close to the receiving window. These features allow developers to choose the most appropriate receiver and easily integrate it into their application.
