SUITABLE DATA FORMAT
The TSOP61.., TSOP63.. series are designed to suppress
spurious output pulses due to noise or disturbance signals.
Data and disturbance signals can be distinguished by the
devices according to carrier frequency, burst length and
envelope duty cycle. The data signal should be close to the
band-pass center frequency (e.g. 38 kHz) and fulfill the
conditions in the table below.
When a data signal is applied to the TSOP61.., TSOP63.. in
the presence of a disturbance signal, the sensitivity of the
receiver is reduced to insure that no spurious pulses are
present at the output. Some examples of disturbance
signals which are suppressed are:
• DC light (e.g. from tungsten bulb or sunlight)
• Continuous signals at any frequency
• Modulated IR signals from common fluorescent lamps
(example of noise pattern is shown in fig. 14 or fig. 15)

Note
• For data formats with long bursts (10 carrier cycles or longer) we recommend the TSOP62.., TSOP 64.. because of the better noise
suppression.

Suppression of interference from fluorescent lamps Common disturbance signals are
supressed (e.g. waveform of figure 14)
Even critical disturbance signals are
suppressed (e.g. waveform of figure 15)
