Product Overview

The XINGLIGHT XL-IRM0038K is an infrared remote control receiver listed in the LED category. Its package is an epoxy resin semi-circular spherical body measuring 6.8 x 6.0 x 5.5 mm with 21 mm pins, and the general dimension tolerance is ±0.25 mm unless otherwise specified.

Electrical operation is centered on a typical 37.9 kHz carrier frequency with a typical 6 kHz band-pass filter width. The recommended supply voltage range is 2.7 V to 5.5 V, while the absolute maximum supply voltage is 6.0 V at Ta=25°C. Output logic is TTL and CMOS compatible with an active-low output.

At VDD=5 V and Ta=25°C, working current is specified from 0.3 mA to 0.5 mA, with 0.4 mA typical. Output levels include a low-level output voltage up to 250 mV at Isink=2.0 mA and a high-level output voltage from 4.5 V to 5.0 V at VCC=5 V.

Assembly data includes wave soldering at 240°C for up to 6 s and manual soldering at 300°C for 3 s. The receiver is suited to infrared remote-control reception where 37.9 kHz carrier detection and active-low digital output are required.
