Its specialized epoxy package acts as a daylight filter, allowing the sensor to \"see\" a remote's signal even in a bright room or near a window.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it’s a Professional-Grade Essential:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Superior Noise Suppression: The TSOP38238 is famous for its \"best-in-class\" immunity to ambient light. It can ignore the flicker of fluorescent tubes and the infrared \"glare\" of sunlight better than generic sensors like the VS1838B. \u003cbr\u003e• Protocol Versatility: It is specifically designed to handle long-burst data protocols without the sensor \"saturating.\" This makes it highly compatible with complex signals like Sony (SIRC), Panasonic, and NEC. \u003cbr\u003e• Low-Voltage Capability: With an operating range down to 2.5V, it is perfect for modern 3.3V systems (like ESP32 or Raspberry Pi) while remaining fully compatible with 5V Arduinos. \u003cbr\u003e• Minimal Footprint: Its flat, compact design allows it to be tucked away in very slim enclosures, often requiring only a tiny 2mm window to receive signals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Capabilities:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• Supply Current: Only 0.7mA to 3mA (Ultra-low power). \u003cbr\u003e• Transmission Distance: Up to 45 meters (in optimal conditions). \u003cbr\u003e• Carrier Frequency: 38kHz. \u003cbr\u003e• Digital Logic: Active LOW (The OUT pin drops to 0V when an IR signal is detected).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest For:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe TSOP38238 is the primary choice for high-reliability home automation, long-range IR communication, universal learning remotes, and industrial optical switches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TinkEdge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46404639097031,"sku":"TE-IRSE-088","price":20.33,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/6620\/6407\/files\/IRReceiverDiode_1.png?v=1776774718","url":"https:\/\/shop.tinkedge.tech\/products\/ir-receiver-diode","provider":"TinkEdge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
