It is an 8-pin surface-mount device that operates in the 900-940 nm range. In this writeup, the application field and detailed working principle of TSOP34836SS1F is discussed.

Application Field of TSOP34836SS1F

The TSOP34836SS1F is most commonly used for remote control receiver applications. It is suitable for home appliances, wireless control systems, and other applications where RF signals are not suitable. It has an operational range of 9 meters and a high receiver sensitivity of -95 dBm making it ideal for various remote control applications. The 8-pin surface mount device is a small size making it suitable for use in compact devices and also reducing manufacturing costs. Moreover, its small size makes it easy to install and integrate into existing or new applications.

Working Principle of TSOP34836SS1F

This IR sensor module is designed specifically to receive signals from an IR LED typically found in a remote control. Its working principle relies on the use of an Infrared (IR) photodiode. This photodiode operates by detecting an incoming IR radiation signal. When an incoming signal intersects the photodiode, it will generate an electric current. This electric current is then amplified and filtered to build a standard signal level as per the applied protocol. Once this is done, the signal is passed onto the output circuit and amplified further to enable a better signal transmission. This output is then sent to the correct receiver and processed accordingly.

The TSOP34836SS1F’s operation relies on its ability to detect as many different IR signals as possible. This is achieved using a channel switching technique. In this technique, the frequency of the incoming signal is changed for each signal to identify each transmitter’s signal. This is done by constantly changing the resonant frequency of the receiver’s internal filter. This channel switching technique makes it possible for this module to process multiple different transmitter’s signals.

Conclusion

The TSOP34836SS1F is a type of remote control receiver that is specially designed to receive IR signals for remote control applications. It is an 8-pin surface mount device that operates in the 900-940 nm range and has a high receiver sensitivity of -95 dBm. Its small size and high sensitivity makes it suitable for use in various applications with hard to reach places and difficult signals to be received. Moreover, its channel switching technique ensures that multiple different transmitter signals can be processed equally.
