Product Overview
The XL-IRM0038C-38A is a XINGLIGHT infrared remote control receiver listed in the LED category. Its structure uses a high-speed high-sensitivity PIN photodiode with a low-power high-gain preamplifier IC, and the output is TTL and CMOS compatible with active-low logic.
The device is supplied in an SMD epoxy resin semi-circular spherical package with 5.0 x 5.0 x 3.5 mm dimensions. Recommended supply voltage is 2.5 to 5.5 V, with a 37.9 kHz typical input frequency and 25°C typical recommended operating condition. At VDD=5 V and Ta=25°C, working current is specified at 0.3 mA minimum, 0.4 mA typical, and 0.5 mA maximum.
Reception is characterized at 10 m minimum and 15 m typical at 0 degrees, with 5 m minimum and 6 m typical at left or right 35 degrees under the specified indoor fluorescent-lamp test setup. Assembly limits include wave soldering at 260°C for up to 6 s, manual welding at 300°C for 3 s, and Pb-free reflow guidance of 240°C for 6 s with two cycles maximum.
